Changbai Mountain Scenic Area is rich in resources and has a wide variety of animals and plants. It is the most representative typical natural complex in the northern half of Eurasia, and it is a rare "species gene bank" and "natural museum" in the world. According to statistics, there are more than 800 species of higher plants/kloc-0, more than 50 species of mammals, more than 280 species of birds, more than 50 species of fish and more than 0.000 species of insects/kloc-0.

Changbai Mountain Scenic Area is located on the edge of East Asia continent, near the Pacific strong fold belt. Before the Mesozoic era, 200 million to 75 million years ago, there were many crustal changes and ancient rock formations were formed. The Mesozoic experienced hundreds of millions of years of wind and rain erosion, forming a series of intermountain basins.

In the Cenozoic, it became a quasi-plain dotted with rolling hills. The landscape of the scenic spot is a typical volcanic landscape. It is mainly composed of basalt platform, basalt plateau and volcanic cone from bottom to top with altitude. On the vast basalt platform and basalt plateau, it is the main peak of the volcanic cone-Changbai Mountain.

The basalt plateau (also known as the inclined plateau at the foot of the mountain) is located between the basalt platform and the volcanic cone, which is an obvious inclined zone. The slope of the ground is generally about 10 degree, and the elevation is about 1000~ 1800 meters, which is the transition zone from the steep volcanic cone to the basalt platform.
