What are the scenic spots on the west and north slopes of Changbai Mountain?

1, west slope: Alpine Garden, Wang Chi, Tiche River, Jinjiang Canyon.

2. North slope: underground forest, small Tianchi Lake, hot springs and Changbai Waterfall.

First, the scenic spots on the west slope:

Alpine garden 1

There are 170 kinds of tundra plants growing on the tundra of Changbai Mountain. At the end of June every year, flowers bloom in the highlands on the west slope. The wide area, different colors and beautiful scenery of flowering plants are amazing. It's inaccessible, and it's a place where immortals walk. There is no clear boundary between the four seasons. In summer, permafrost is 2.5 meters below the surface. There are ten months of wind in a year, and the intensity is often above seven; There are nine months covered by snow and ice, and the precipitation is concentrated in winter and summer, with annual precipitation of1.500mm;

Only July and August are frost-free periods every year, and the hottest average daily temperature is only 7 degrees Celsius. In these two months, from the foot of the mountain at an altitude of 2 100 meters to the top of the mountain, it seemed like magic. Various shrubs, herbs, mosses and lichens are intertwined, and the tundra is covered with thick carpets. Due to the limitation of the natural environment, the plants here grow very low, generally not higher than 20 cm, but their roots are very developed, five to ten times the height of plants, absorbing nutrients from deep soil. At the same time, it also has a very magical function. They all germinate, bloom, seed and then go into dormancy at an extremely fast speed. Among the exotic flowers and grasses, butterflies with big wings are dancing bright crystal flakes, black peaks with sallow colors are busy collecting nectar, and spotted sika deer are leisurely foraging for weeds. When tourists come here, it seems that they have come to heaven and enjoyed the Yaochi Garden.

2. Wang Chi

Wang Chi, also known as Yuehuachi and Xiaowangchi, is located at the foothills of Qianchuan Mountain, five kilometers south of Guanfeng, adjacent to the magical and beautiful alpine garden. To enter Wang Chi, you need to walk on a wooden plank road, turn into a sparse broad-leaved forest with flowers, and cross a ravine to see a clear water hidden in the Yuehua forest. Wang Chi was originally an inactive volcanic eruption, but it was formed by accumulated atmospheric precipitation. It is more than 40 meters long from north to south and 30 meters wide from east to west. It is oval, and the accumulated water area is 1200 meters. The pool is small and exquisite, and the water is not deep or clean. Chi Pan is covered with Ursula and cattail. Frogs are constantly chirping in the grass, as well as curved birch trees and green Chinese pine trees, and kingfishers are flying among the branches and leaves. From a distance, Wang Chi is like a bright crescent moon, embedded in the vast forest.

Wang Chi is one of the 72 Longtan Mountains in Changbai Mountain, and it is called "Wang Chi smiles at the moon". Nuerhachi, the king of the Han Dynasty, fell ill on his way into Changbai Mountain to dig ginseng. He was a horse rack set up by the pool and drank water to cure his illness. When he became a great instrument, he sat in the dragon chair and returned to his hometown. He visited the pool water and said,' People call me the old man king, and I want to be the life-saving pool water king!' Therefore, Tan Xiao became famous.

Step 3 cut the river with a ladder

Under Tieyunfeng on the west side of Tianchi Lake, there is a long and narrow gully, which extends downward for more than ten kilometers. The river inside is steep and fast-flowing, so people call it Tiezi River. The river flows so fast that people can hear the rumbling sound from a distance, which is also called an underground river. It is a large fault zone formed by crustal movement, with a narrow section, more than three meters wide, and the narrowest place can be crossed in one step. The two cliffs stand upright, like knives and axes, slippery, with an average of more than ten meters and the deepest point of 30 meters.

Located in the cold zone, there is no sunshine every day. Every year in late June, the river begins to thaw, and the thawing period is only over three months. The temperature inside is very low, only three to four degrees Celsius. The border guards stationed nearby regard it as a "natural refrigerator". Looking down at the valley, the stream in the dark is turning over the snow clearly and rapidly, and the cold moisture is rushing from bottom to top, which makes people shudder. The edge of the valley is covered with wormwood and dead wood, which covers the mouth of the valley and is very difficult to distinguish. Therefore, black bears, wild deer, roe deer, rabbits and other animals living in the virgin forest are easy to fall into the valley and die during migration and hunting. Thus, the ladder river also has a name called "prey river", and people often find frozen prey in the river.

4. Jinjiang Canyon

Jinjiang Canyon is located in the Jinjiang Valley on the western slope, at the lower reaches of the ladder river more than 20 kilometers away from Tianchi, also known as volcanic lava forest. Through a dense virgin Korean pine forest belt, you can see the Grand Canyon, with a total length of 14 km, an average depth of more than 80 meters, the deepest point of 160 meters and a width of 100 to 300 meters. This is the largest volcanic canyon landform in China, with the characteristics of danger, seclusion, strangeness, beauty and so on. It is a newly developed tourist landscape in Changbai Mountain. Jinjiang Grand Canyon is a mountain split caused by the earthquake during the eruption of Changbai Mountain volcano, and the fault scarps caused by the intersection of canyons sink to form many stepped areas, forming waterfall landscape and waterfall underground forest landscape of different scales; The loose rocks formed by volcanic ash deposits have developed into various shapes of scenery under the cutting of canyons and streams and the carving of wind and rain. In various ways, the pace is different.

Some are shaped like bactrian camels, some like bamboo shoots, some like Asian elephants, and some like small mushrooms. There are also strange landscapes such as "Double Bears Climbing the Mountain", "Rhinoceros Looking at the Moon", "Double Elephants Pumping Water", "Crocodiles Swallowing Eggs", "Vultures Foraging", "Dancing Lion Ball" and "Singing Golden Rooster". The two walls of the canyon are brick red, silver gray and gray-black, colorful and deep, dignified and simple. There are dense forests and towering ancient trees on both sides of the strait, and plant communities such as pine, birch and banyan form landscapes of different regions and levels, such as white, green, yellow and red. Jinjiang River at the bottom of the valley is surging and rumbling.

Second, the north slope attractions:

1, underground forest

Underground forest is hidden in the valley on the northern slope of Changbai Mountain, which is the lowest elevation landscape in the local area, with lush vegetation and swift streams, also known as valley forest. After the Changbai Mountain volcano spewed a lot of magma, the strata here broke. After thousands of years of cutting and erosion by surface runoff, a grand canyon running through the north and south for dozens of kilometers was formed, with tall and dense primitive trees growing. The area is full of fog, cold rain, thick humus, green moss, lush green trees, drooping pineapples and rich negative ions. It's natural oxygen.

2. Xiaotianchi

Located three kilometers below Changbai Waterfall, on the west side of Erdaobai River, in the lush valley of Yuehualin, there are two lakes, both oval, like a silver ring hanging down, similar to Tianchi, one east and one west, one yellow and one green, one withered and one glorious. Dongchi is difficult to reach in the steep valley; The water quality of Xiaotianchi Lake on the west side is clear and smooth as a mirror, with a water depth of more than 5,000 square meters 10 meters. Reflected on the green hills, kingfishers sing in the forest, white fog gently moves pineapples away, and the breath is quiet, also known as Yin Huan Lake. The girl bathed in the round pool for three days, flew back to Yaochi and came here to dress up in front of the mirror.

3. Longxian Hot Spring

Below the waterfall, on the right side of Erdaobai River, there is a hot spring with a water temperature of 60-82 degrees. The exhibition area is about 1000 square meters, and there are more than ten spouts, also known as Julongquan. Group of dragons spit pearls, all day long; Mineral ions such as iron, copper, magnesium and manganese contained in sulfurized water overflow, depressurize and sink to the surface, forming reddish brown, green, purple, gold and other mineralized layers, such as a natural oil painting, hanging in the Grand Canyon. Hot springs can treat skin diseases, and bathing in the open air has a unique style when it snows.

4. Changbai waterfall

Tianchi, surrounded by mountains, has a steep cut between Tianhuo Peak and Longmen Peak. The water flows out gently, crosses Niulangdu, accepts four cold springs, and the water volume increases. Before the cliff, it was divided into two branches by a boulder, and it jumped down with a drop of 68 meters. The waterfall is white with water, hanging on the steep bluestone cliff, smoking and fogging, flying down all the year round, falling into a deep pool of more than 20 meters, roaring and shaking the earth; The confluence of rapids is the source of Erdaobai River and Songhua River. Changbai Waterfall is the crowning touch of Changbai Mountain.
