As the capital of Northeast China's Jilin province, Changchun city is the political, economic and cultural center of Jilin.
Changchun's name implies the meaning of blessing and auspiciousness. However, the city has witnessed a painful part of the history in modern China.
Clivia Miniata, also known as the Natal lily or bush lily, was officially designated as the city flower of Changchun at the 14th Session of the 8th Changchun Municipal People’s Congress on October 11, 1984.
