Self-guided tour of Changbai Mountain

Tianchi

Changbai Mountain Tianchi is undoubtedly the most beautiful place in Changbai. Located at the top of the Changbai Mountain volcanic cone, it is the boundary lake between China and North Korea and the source of the Songhua, Tumen and Yalu rivers. Tianchi Lake covers an area of ??9.28 square kilometers, with an altitude of 2194 meters, a deepest point of 373 meters, an average water depth of 204 meters, and a depth of 16 meters. It is the deepest mountain lake in my country.

In summer, the blue waves of Tianchi Lake are rippling and sparkling, and the sixteen surrounding peaks are reflected in them. In winter, it is covered with ice and snow, and is white and flawless. On cloudy days, clouds cover the sky, sometimes appearing and disappearing. It's refreshing!

Waterfall

There is an outlet on the north side of Tianchi, and a clear and rapid river flows out - Chengcha River. After flowing for about 1200 meters, it flows straight down from the broken wall. This is the famous Changbai Mountain Waterfall. The waterfall in Changbai Mountain has a height of 68 meters. It is divided into two parts by a huge stone called "Niulang Ferry".

From a distance, Changbai Waterfall looks like a white ribbon hanging in the mountains, floating in the air, elegant and unique. When viewed up close, the Changbai Waterfall is as powerful as broken jade and flying snow falling from the sky, and the sound is like thousands of thunders and drums roaring together! The water mist fills the air and the cold air hits you. It's so high up and so majestic! Beautiful!

Hot Spring

The hot spring is less than two kilometers away from Changbai Waterfall and covers an area of ??about 1,000 square meters. Its unique chemical composition dyes the surrounding rocks in various colors, including yellow, blue, red, and green. The steam is steaming and is pleasing to the eye!

Changbai Mountain Hot Spring is a high-heat hot spring. The temperature of most spring water is above 60 degrees Celsius, and the hottest spring can reach 82 degrees. Put an egg in it and it will be cooked in an instant. It is ripe on the outside and tender on the inside, and is delicious and delicious. Hot spring baths can relax muscles and activate blood circulation, drive away cold and diseases, and are particularly effective in treating arthritis, skin diseases, etc. There is a hot spring bath here for tourists to take a bath. The water in the pool is the running water flowing in from the hot spring. The temperature can be adjusted. After taking the bath, you will feel more relaxed.

Xiaotianchi

Xiaotianchi is located 3 kilometers north of Changbai Waterfall. It is also known as Yinhuan Lake and Changbai Lake. She is hidden in the quiet birch forest, with an altitude of 1,780 meters. The lake is round in shape, covering an area of ??5,380 square meters, with a water depth of more than 10 meters, and the lake is turquoise. This is the filming location of the Chinese Medicine King Valley in the Taiwanese TV series "Snow Mountain Flying Fox".

Underground Forest

The underground forest is also known as the valley forest, this crater forest. It is about 5 kilometers east of the Changbai Mountain Ice Arena and on the north side of Dongtian Waterfall. The valley wall is 50-60 meters high, and the trees are divided into three layers. The valley bottom is 2,500-3,000 meters long from north to south and contains many coniferous forests. At the bottom of the valley, there are towering ancient pines, huge boulders scattered around, and the valley walls looking like they were cut. It is the scenic spot with the lowest altitude in Changbai Mountain.

Yuehualin

Yuehualin grows between 1,800 meters and 2,000 meters above sea level. The average monthly temperature is 10--14 degrees Celsius. During the growing season, there are often strong winds above level 8. The soil is thin and the rainfall is heavy, with the average annual rainfall reaching 1000-2000 mm. Ordinary tree species can no longer adapt to such harsh natural conditions, and only the most cold-resistant Yue birch tenaciously occupies this space. The birch forest is a dwarf forest or dwarf forest composed of birch trees. The birch tree can adapt to the severe cold climate and infertile soil of the mountains. It is short and branchy, forming a semi-clump state.

Pumice Stone Forest

The Pumice Stone Forest in the canyon 6 kilometers southeast of the mountain gate is another new landscape of Changbai Mountain. Also known as the Canyon Pumice Forest, this place is located in a 5,000-meter-long gully canyon. Due to natural weathering and rainwater erosion, many strange and dangerous peaks have been formed. A small stream trickles through the valley bottom.

Beauty pine

Beauty pine’s scientific name is Changbai pine. It only grows in Erdaobai River in Changbai Mountain. It is an evergreen tree, 25-30 meters high and 25-40 centimeters in diameter. Crown oval or flat oval triangle or umbrella shape, etc. The bark on the lower part of the trunk is brown with deep cracks and irregular rectangular lobes.

Grand Canyon

Changbai Mountain Grand Canyon is located on the western slope of Changbai Mountain. It is a natural wonder newly discovered in recent years and is comparable to the Grand Canyon in the United States.

The Changbai Mountain Grand Canyon is more than 70 kilometers long. It was caused by the volcanic ash and soil on the surface of the lava stone after the volcanic eruption and was washed away by rivers and rain. The North Jinjiang River flows down from the bottom of the valley, so it is also called the Jinjiang Grand Canyon. There are many strange rocks in the valley, and the wonders are numerous and beautiful!
