Jilin Province, lying on the eastern part of the Eurasian continent, belongs to a
temperate zone, although in winter people will fail to tell the difference between here
and Russia. Although an inland province, Jilin is not far from both the Japanese and the
Yellow Seas, and these are the causes of the frequent rain in summer. In winter, the province is affected by prolonged cold fronts from Siberia. The average
annual temperature is about 5 degrees C.. In January, the coldest month, the average
temperature hits -18 degrees C. while the temperature rises to 20 degrees C. in the
hottest month, July. Snow appears in October and lasts until April, and this is the
optimum time for winter sports at some of the best Skiing Resorts in
China. |
