Sandstorms can be a problem in the north (including Beijing) in April. Tibet can be bitter cold, even in the autumn and late spring. Changchun is of monsoon climate in the transitional belt from wet area to sub-dry area.

INTERNATIONAL SCHOOLS

A variety of preschools are serving the foreign community in Changchun. A parent’s first choice will be whether to place their child in a regular Chinese-speaking kindergarten, a private English-speaking preschool or a playgroup.

Since there are not many expatriates in Changchun and most of them are German, so there is one International German School.
