We all know how cold the northeast can get in the winter, and Changchun certainly isn’t an exception. Some of us chose to wrap up warm and spend our winters hugging radiators and ingesting large amounts of hotpot in an attempt to avoid freezing to death. But with milder days fast approaching, bid farewell to the freezing winter by treating yourself to a relaxing soak in a hot spring in Changchun? If you’re after a true Chinese winter experience, drop the chopsticks, don the bathing suit, and hop in.
