Yanji Halal Travel Guide

Koreans first migrated to the Yanji area after a series of famines struck in 1869. The area, called the Yanbian Chaoxianzu (Korean) Autonomous Prefecture, is the home of the largest group of ethnic Koreans living outside of Korea, and while there are a small number of expatriates from North and South Korea, most of the Koreans living here hold Chinese, not Korean citizenship. Since large areas of Yanbian were off-limits to travelers and the tourist facilities and people who speak English are kind of non-existent, but that is changing.

Unlike other Chinese cities, this little city is relatively clean and peaceful. You can find quite many cafes for this little city where serves good coffees and also you will see many tea houses (茶坐) around the city.

Muslim Friendly Hotels

Like many other Chinese cities, foreigners are only allowed to stay in the places that meet 'the standard', even if there are plenty of affordable inns. It means you have to pay above ¥200 per person in high season (in low season, it would be around ¥80). If it says inn (Luguan, 旅馆), foreigners are not likely allowed to stay. If it says hotel or motel (宾馆, binguan) you might be able to stay there, but it's more expensive than those small inns (normal inns are ¥20~50 for a room) However there's one option below ¥200 for foreigners.

• Shi Shang Motel (binguan) 时尚宾馆 | 30 meters South from Lihua elementary school (梨花小学校, Lihua Xiaoxuexiao), at the south end of Yuanhong Hutong （园虹胡同）, on 2F ☎ +86 433 832-5111 - This little but clean motel is the best deal for a budget (foreign) traveler. A double room with a computer (internet available) and an inside toilet/hot shower with no window starts at ¥70 yuan in high season. The cleanest sheets and towels than other more expensive hotels. The downtown is in walking distance and the creek next to it provides a good walk path. The amusement park on riverside and the nightclub Star Box is also in walking distance. If you planned to take a taxi, don't say the road name but say Lihua Xiaoxuexiao (elementary school) since it's more famous than the names of little allies.

• Baishan Mansion - 2 Youyi Rd., Yanji City ☎ +86 433 2515956 +86 433 2519493
• Cha Er Si Hotel 查尔斯宾馆 - At the intersection of Changbai Road and Zhanqian Road, three blocks north of the train station and three blocks west from the bus station. Look out for a large, black neon sign saying karaoke and hotel. GPS: The reception on the first floor is for a different hotel, instead take the elevator to the 3rd floor for the correct one. Cheapest room is ¥239 and some come without window. You can get about ¥25 discounts if you plan to stay more than 3 days (need to get a membership card). Rooms are equipped with computer, a TV and with a bathroom inside. Water pressure is poor. Karaoke Bar is in the same building, so it can be a bit noisy around 11PM to 1AM. Close to the train station as well as one of the bus stations, but not a good location if you want to hang around in the downtown. The airport is a short taxi ride away that shouldn't cost more than ¥20-20.

Telecommunications in Yanji

While there are plenty of internet cafes around, you will be required to have a Chinese ID in order to use them. A foreign passport will not suffice unless you get lucky. The easiest way to get access may therefore be to get a hotel room which provides it.
