You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.91.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪L235‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:36, 3 July 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Jilin City''' (((zh|s=吉林市|p=Jílín Shì)), <small>Mandarin pronunciation:</small> ((IPAc-cmn|j|i|2|l|in|2))), [[Chinese postal romanization|alternately romanized]] as '''Kirin''' (((Lang-mnc|m=((ManchuSibeUnicode|lang=mnc|ᡤᡳᡵᡳᠨ)))), [[International Phonetic Alphabet|IPA]]:/ki.rin/), is the second-largest city and former capital of [[Jilin]] province in [[northeast China]]. As of the 2020 census, 3,623,713 people resided within its administrative area of ((convert|27166.37|km²)) and 1,895,865 in its built-up (''or metro'') area consisting of four urban districts. A [[prefecture-level city]], it is the only major city nationally that shares its name with its province.

Jilin City is also known as the ''River City'' because of the [[Songhua River]] surrounding much of the city. In 2007, it co-hosted the [[2007 Asian Winter Games|Asian Winter Games]].

== History ==
Jilin City is one of the oldest cities in Northeast China.((Citation needed|date=November 2020))

During the reign of the [[Yongle Emperor]] in the [[Ming dynasty]], efforts were made to expand Ming control throughout all of [[Manchuria]]. Mighty river fleets were built and sailed several times from Jilin City, getting the chieftains of the local tribes to swear allegiance to the Ming rulers.<ref name=eu>Shih-shan Henry Tsai, ''The Eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty''.  SUNY Press, 1996. ((ISBN|0-7914-2687-4)). [https://books.google.com/books?id=Ka6jNJcX_ygC Partial text] on Google Books. P. 129-130</ref> 
Soon after the establishment of the Manchu-led [[Qing dynasty]], the territory of today's [[Primorsky Kray]] was put under the administration of Jilin. As the [[Russian Empire]] advanced eastward to the Pacific coast, the Qing government ordered a naval shipbuilding factory to be set up here in 1661. Jilin was officially established as a fort city in 1673 when Anzhuhu (((lang|zh|安珠瑚))), the Deputy Lieutenant-General (((lang|zh-hans|副都统))), was ordered to build a castle in Jilin. In 1676, the Military Governor of [[Ninguta]] was transferred to Jilin City because of its more convenient location and increasing military importance, while the former Deputy Lieutenant-General was transferred in the opposite direction to Ninguta.<ref name=edmonds>((cite book|title=Northern Frontiers of Qing China and Tokugawa Japan: A Comparative Study of Frontier Policy|first=Richard Louis|last=Edmonds|publisher=University of Chicago, Department of Geography; Research Paper No. 213|isbn=0-89065-118-3|year=1985|pages=113, 115–117))</ref> Since then Jilin City has developed at a rapid pace. The nickname of Jilin City is ''River City'' (((lang|zh|江城))), which originates from one sentence "((lang|zh-hans|连樯接舰屯江城))" of a poem written by [[Kangxi Emperor]] when he was visiting Jilin City in 1682. Jilin retained its importance into the 18th and 19th century as one of the few cities existing beyond the Willow Palisade, along with [[Qiqihar]], [[Ninguta]] and [[Mukden]].

After [[Manchukuo]] established their capital in Xinjing (present-day [[Changchun]]), Jilin City's importance decreased. By 1940, Jilin's population was 173,624, while Xinjing's population reached 544,202 at the same time.<ref>((Nihongo2|新京商工公会刊『新京の概況 建国十周年記念發刊』18-19頁))</ref>((full citation needed|date=January 2020)) Soviet forces captured Jilin during the [[August Storm]] operation.<ref name="Glantz">LTC David M.

Jilin became the provincial capital of Jilin Province after the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949, until Changchun took this position in 1956.

==Geography==

===Climate===

Jilin City has a four-season, monsoon-influenced, [[humid continental climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]] ''Dwa''). Winters are long (lasting from November to March), cold, and windy, but dry, due to the influence of the [[Siberian anticyclone]], with a January mean temperature of ((convert|−15.4|°C|1)). Spring and autumn are somewhat short transitional periods, with some precipitation, but are usually dry and windy. Summers are hot and humid, with a prevailing southeasterly wind due to the East Asian monsoon; July averages ((convert|23.3|°C|1)). Snow is usually light during the winter, and annual rainfall is heavily concentrated from June to August.

==Tourism==
[[File:吉林雾凇.jpg|thumb|200px|Snow in Jilin City]]
Jilin City is a popular destination for tourists to come each winter to view the magnificent [[rime (frost)|rime ice]] (((zh|labels=no|s=雾凇 |t=霧凇))) on trees along the banks of the Songhua River, (the river is the only river in the region that does not freeze in winter). The rime ice is a natural phenomenon that occurs every year during January and February. It is a result of water vapor rising up from the warm Songhua River to meet the cold ((convert|-20|°C|0|abbr=on)) night air, causing the crystallisation of water vapour on willows branches.

Attractions:
