Tourism situation on the western slope of Changbai Mountain

As soon as you walk into the western slope of Changbai Mountain and look at the main peak of Changbai Mountain, you will immediately see that the giant Buddha formed by the mountain is lying peacefully in the sky, and its expression is extremely heavy and comfortable, which is admirable. This nature's nature is amazing. People who believe in nature often pay tribute to the embodiment of wisdom. Facing the serene nature, human beings will also become peaceful. Alpine Garden

tundra zone in Changbai Mountain is not a desolate desert. It is a magical "hanging garden" and the only treasure house of primitive alpine vegetation in Northeast Asia. More than 17 species of tundra plants have been found. There are no four seasons in the alpine tundra of Changbai Mountain, and below the surface is permafrost. There are 3 windy days in 365 days a year; There are 12 months in a year, and 9 months are covered with ice and snow. The plants here are amazing. During the frost-free period in July and August every year, they germinate, blossom, seed and then go into dormancy at an extremely fast speed. In the past two months, from the hillside at an altitude of 2 meters to the head of Changbai Mountain, it seems like magic. The whole mountain is covered with a thick layer of carpet, and countless exotic flowers compete for beauty. When people come here, they will have the feeling of coming to heaven and enjoying the hanging gardens. This magical flower season is most obvious on the western slope of Changbai Mountain. Because of the sun, the spring on the west slope comes earlier than that on the north slope. At the end of June and the beginning of July every year, on the highland on the western slope of Changbai Mountain, flowers are blooming, and the number and area of flowers are all amazing. Because it is inaccessible and the scenery is excellent, people think it is a place for immortals to move, so it is called a garden in heaven and a place for angels to walk.

Besides flowers, there are many insects and small animals such as butterflies and bees in alpine gardens. Someone has seen wild sika deer here and caught a very precious and rare extremely northern viper! Wangchi

Wangchi is located on the western slope of Changbai Mountain, with the Jade Snow Peak as its back, Jinjiang as its face and the magical and beautiful alpine garden as its hand in hand. The surface of the pool is 185 meters above sea level, with a diameter of 2 meters and an area of about 2 square meters. There is another story about the name of Wang Chi. According to legend, Nuerhachi, a little Hanzi, fell ill while digging ginseng in Changbai Mountain. It was by drinking this pool of water that he was cured and survived. Nurhachi did not forget the help of the pool water. When he became a great instrument, he unified the north and returned to the hometown of Changbai Mountain to visit the pool water. Nurhachi said: "The people call me the old Han king, and I should call this life-saving pool king!" " The water quality in Wangchi is clean, and Chi Pan is covered with sand grass-Uracia grass and Typha grass, accompanied by beautiful Betula and Pinus tabulaeformis. There are small fish in the pool, many frogs and many birds in the forest. On the clear lake, there are often frogs croaking and birds chirping. Wangchi is blue-green, as clean as a precious mirror, reflecting the clouds in the sky and the trees on the shore. It's so beautiful here that it's no wonder that groups of dragonflies are always flying on the lake.

pant slope

pant slope is a landscape on the western slope of Changbai Mountain, which used to be the only place for hiking and watching Tianchi Lake. Because the hillside is steep and steep, and there is no flat place in the middle, visitors have to climb all the time. In addition, there are many trees and the field of vision is not wide, which makes people breathless. This section of the mountain climbing road is therefore called the panting slope.

the beauty of breathing slope lies in participation. If you don't climb the panting slope, you won't feel the excitement of being close to the mountain. Only when you climb the panting slope can you feel the joy after fatigue. Perhaps nature knows human thinking very well, and if you want to witness the wonders of Tianchi, you must first taste the pain of climbing. After suffering, there is a flat and open place for people to rest. Then, it is a new and more difficult road, waiting for people to climb. What is it after the panting slope? A "tiger"! Yuanyang land

Yuanyang land is a strange landscape in Changbai Mountain and a mystery of nature. On the gentle slope, it is often seen that two approximate circular grasslands are connected together, but the colors are not the same, and the difference is sometimes great. This strange circle of biology exists in Changbai Mountain and also in the northern prairie. So far, scientists can't tell why the grass grows in circles, and the color difference between adjacent circles is so great. It is said that delicious mushrooms will grow along the grass circle. Experienced mountain people often pick mushrooms along the grass circle. People in Changbai Mountain call this kind of circular grassland with different colors Yuanyang Land. First, it shows that the two circles are different. Second, it shows that the two circles are inseparable. That's a good name. For tourists who like to explore nature, it is essential to see the Yuanyang land. Ladder River

There is a "ladder river" in Changbai Mountain. You can imagine that it is unusual from this strange name alone. Visitors to Changbai Mountain, when they arrive at Tizi River, will be interested to see its wonders.

the ladder river is a deep valley formed by the river passing through narrow cliffs. Because it is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, it is similar to a ladder used by the people, hence the name "ladder river". There are two places in Changbai Mountain: one in Antu County on the northern slope and one in the upper reaches of Erdaobai River not far from Changbai Waterfall, but it is relatively short. The most famous one is located in Fusong County, Xipo, near the Victoria-East Border Workstation, and the South Jinjiang and the North Jinjiang, tributaries of Songhua River, form two ladder rivers, large and small, each of which is more than ten kilometers long. The ladder river is unique. Let's say it is a river on the ground, but it is hidden deep underground, and it is difficult to see the river only by the rumbling sound. It is said to be an underground river, but the rushing water is clearly visible when you bend over to visit it through the thatch. In order to facilitate the passage of vehicles, people use logs to build a "bridge" on both sides of the ladder river. This one-to-two-meter-long bridge is probably the shortest bridge in the world. In fact, this river can be crossed in one step in most places, and its widest point is only three meters. Although the ladder river is narrow but deep, the average depth is more than ten meters, and the deepest point is more than thirty meters. Standing on the bridge or by the river, looking carefully, I saw the valley standing upright, very narrow, with moss on both sides, wet and smooth. At the bottom of the valley, the river is like a daisy, winding and sometimes not. Standing by the river, I only feel a chill and refreshing, plus the turbulence of the cliff, which is frightening. Throw a stone down, and it took a while to hear the echo.

the ladder river is also called "prey river", which is named because people often find dead animals in the river. Because the ladder river is covered with fallen trees and rattan Artemisia, it is extremely difficult to see if it is not carefully distinguished. Therefore, wild animals living in Changbai Mountain, such as black bears, wild deer, roe deer, rabbits, etc., are easy to fall into the river and die when migrating.

The biggest feature of this river is that no matter when animals are picked up, they are guaranteed not to rot, and they are very fresh. Because the Tiezi River is located in the alpine zone, it doesn't begin to thaw until the end of June every year, so the thawing period of this river is only over three months, and the water temperature is very low, and the highest temperature is only three to four degrees Celsius. The border guards stationed near the Tizi River use it as a "natural refrigerator", hanging fish, meat and fresh vegetables from the mountain and keeping them in the river, which is both antiseptic and fresh. Yuanyangchi

Yuanyangchi is located in the deep forest on the west slope of Changbai Mountain. There are two versions of the origin of the name Yuanyangchi. One is that it is a wild bird paradise, and there are always flocks of waterfowl living in it in spring, summer and autumn, especially many Yuanyangs. First, there are two similar pools connected together, in pairs, inseparable, similar to Yuanyang, hence the name. In fact, it is correct to combine the two reasons into one. Yuanyang pond is really two small lakes together, and at the same time, there are indeed many waterfowl in the lake.

Yuanyang Lake is a lake formed after volcanic eruption. The lake is crystal clear, and it is a rare paradise for waterfowl because it is far away from the world and has no pollution.

In autumn, the forests in Chi Pan are full of red leaves and picturesque scenery. Birds are gathering to fly south, and birds are singing on the lake. This gathering in nature is very touching. There is no road to Yuanyang Pool, and an experienced guide is needed to lead the way. Even so, getting lost in the dense forest is common. It seems that a paradise like a water bird doesn't like human interference. Love between Pine and Birch

On the carpet-spread grassland on the western slope of Changbai Mountain, there are often touching scenes of pine trees and birch trees: the pine trees are tall and solemn, like a masculine man; Birch branches and leaves stretch, graceful posture, like a gentle and charming beauty. They are like lovers trysting in Changbai Mountain and holding a grand collective wedding, forming a strong lineup of "pine birch change" landscape. This spectacle is located in the "Alpine Garden" zone of Changbai Mountain, about two kilometers above sea level, which is the natural boundary between coniferous forest belt and birch forest belt. The representative plants, pine and birch, which belong to two vegetation belts, are like lovers with deep feelings here, snuggling up to each other, rooting and climbing branches, and growing in length. The phenomenon that two trees are conjoined because of different tree species can be seen in many places. The difference between "Love between Pine and birch" is that the two trees are different in appearance, but they embrace each other and combine rigidity with softness, which naturally causes people to think about beautiful love. In different seasons, "Love between Pine and birch" presents different landscapes. In spring, pine needles are spitting and birch leaves are sprouting. They are like a pair of first-love men and women, full of affection; In summer, leafy, green crown, such as cover, they are like a pair of lovers in love, love fire like blazing; In autumn, birch leaves are frosted and pinecones are numerous. They are like a middle-aged couple, who love each other for a long time and deeply. In winter, white birch is facing the wind, and pine trees are proud of the snow. They are like a pair of elderly couples, holding hands and smiling back to see the vicissitudes of life.

Among the numerous "lovers of pine and birch", one pair is particularly striking. They are all over 1 years old. The pine tree is more than 2 meters high and the birch tree is slightly lower. When people arrive here, they all rush to watch, and men, women and children are willing to take photos with them. People often say with emotion: who says that the grass is heartless when they see pine and birch falling in love? Botanists explained that the top of Changbai Mountain has a high altitude, thin soil layer and a lot of wind and water. It is difficult for pine or birch to survive alone here, and it is easy to be blown down by the wind. The two trees are the product of fighting against the harsh environment and the result of long-term natural selection and elimination.
