Looking for great exploration tips! I love getting off the beaten path.

I am riding out to Jilin to visit a friend and to explore the area around the city by motorcycle. I will be in Jilin City for a week. I am looking for off the beaten path must see's. Please let me know if you have any ideas. I do NOT want to do anything in the city or go to any national parks or palaces. I have already seen all that jazz. I was going to randomly try to get to the top of some of the mountains around Songhua lake. Of course this depends on your recommendations if any. I know the North East is not the most frequented area.

Thanks ahead of time!
