Summer wellness tourism flourishes in Yichun, Northeast China


As the summer heat sweeps across most of China, Yichun, located in Northeast China's Heilongjiang province, has emerged as a top summer wellness destination. Its 22 C average temperature and oxygen-rich air attract travelers nationwide, eager to escape the sweltering heat and rejuvenate both body and mind.
Yichun's summer wellness advantage lies in its natural foundation: it hosts Asia's largest Korean pine forest, where negative oxygen ion levels remain high year-round and rise even further in summer. For travelers, every breath taken under the pine canopy is more than just a respite from the heat — it's a therapeutic "lung-cleansing" moment that eases urban fatigue. Unlike most places that dependent on air conditioners, Yichun's cool, breezy forests offer a natural refuge for comfortable summer stays.
Delving into this summer wonderland, Yichun turns the concept "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" into a tangible wellness experience. Summer brings the forest to life: deer peek from pine trunks, their clear eyes meeting travelers with curiosity; squirrels dart between branches, carrying sun-foraged pinecones. This unscripted human-nature harmony is no mere sight — it is core to Yichun's summer wellness charm. It lets travelers immerse in a "community of life for man and nature," transforming a forest walk into a spiritual baptism that calms the mind as the air refreshes the body.
