Changbai Mountain information, thank you

Changbai Mountain is located in Antu County, Yanbian Prefecture, Jilin Province and Fusong County, Baishan City. It is the boundary mountain between China and North Korea, one of the top ten famous mountains in China, a national 5A-level scenic spot, and the first in Guandong. Mountain. It is named after its main peak, which is covered with white pumice and snow. It is known as "thousands of years of snow turns into annual pine trees, reaching the highest peak in the world". Baiyun Peak in China, with an altitude of 2,691 meters, is the highest peak in Northeast China, while the highest peak in Changbai Mountain is Jiangjun Peak in North Korea. Changbai Mountain is the volcano with the highest altitude and the largest vent in Northeast China. Changbai Mountain also has a beautiful meaning: "Stay together till the end of time".

Introduction

Changbai mountain, also known as Beakdu Mountain, is the sacred mountain of the Manchu people and one of the top ten famous mountains in China. It is located in today's Jilin Province of China and Liangjiang Road of North Korea. The data of Samjiyon County comes from Baidu Map, and the final result is subject to Baidu Map data.

. The name of the mountain originated from "Changbai Mountain". The name comes from the free translation of the Manchu "Goromin Sanggiyan Alin", and the name "Baitou Mountain" also comes from the Jurchens - according to the "Records of Suzong of the Ri Dynasty" of North Korea: "Changbai Mountain, the Hu people may call it Baitou Mountain." , so it is Changbai." Today, China usually refers to "Baektou Mountain" as its main peak, while South Korea and North Korea refer to "Baektou Mountain" as the entire Changbai Mountains.

Broadly defined area

In the broad sense, Changbai Mountain refers to the Changbai Mountains, the general name for the eastern mountainous areas of Liaoning, Jilin, and Heilongjiang provinces in China. It starts from the south side of the Sanjiang Plain in the north and extends to the Liaodong Peninsula in the south where it connects with Qianshan Mountains, including Wanda Mountain, Laoye Mountains, Zhangguangcai Mountains, Jilin Hadal Mountains and other parallel fault-block mountains. Most of the mountains have an altitude of 800 to 1,500 meters, with the Changbai Mountains in the middle section being the highest. , gradually decreasing toward the south and north.

Area in a narrow sense

In a narrow sense, Changbai Mountain refers to the mountainous area at the junction of eastern Jilin Province and North Korea, which is the highest part of the northeastern mountainous area. The highest peak is General Peak in North Korea, 2,750 meters high. Baiyun Peak in China has an altitude of 2,691 meters. It is composed of trachyte. The white rock is exposed in summer and covered with snow in winter. It is always white all year round. It is formed by multiple volcanic eruptions. It is the birthplace of Songhua River, Tumen River and Yalu River. The forest is dense, with red pine, fish scale pine, sand pine, hornbeam, maple, etc. being the main forest between 500 and 1,200 meters; spruce and fir forests between 1,200 and 1,800 meters; birch dwarf forest above 1,800 meters. It is an important forest area in China. There are precious animals such as sika deer, mink and Siberian tiger in the forest, as well as medicinal materials such as ginseng. Ginseng, mink, and deer antler are the "Three Treasures" of Northeast China and have long been famous at home and abroad. A nature reserve was established in 1960, covering an area of ??215,000 hectares.

Geographical Information

Changbai Mountain is located in the southeastern region of Jilin Province, between 127°40'~128°16' east longitude and 41°35'~42°25' north latitude. It is the boundary mountain between China and North Korea. It is the birthplace of the Tumen River, the Yalu River, and the Songhua River. It is famous both at home and abroad for its beautiful scenery, endless forests, and rare birds and animals that inhabit it. It was included in the United Nations International Biosphere Reserve in 1980. Changbai Mountain is a dormant volcano with several eruptions in history. The unique landforms formed as a result are magical, beautiful, majestic, pristine and natural, with infinite scenery! Everyone in the future longs for it, and everyone in the past lingers. In the summer of 1983, Comrade Deng Xiaoping climbed to the top of Changbai Mountain, inscribed the banners "Changbai Mountain" and "Tianchi", and exclaimed: "It would be a great pity not to go to Changbai Mountain in life!" The main peak is 2,691 meters above sea level, and the peaks above 2,500 meters above sea level are: 16 buildings with a total area of ??more than 8,000 square kilometers. It starts from Songjiang Town in Antu County, Jilin Province in the north, starts from Songjiang River Tourism Development Zone in Fusong County in the west, ends in Nangang Ridge in Helong County in the east, and extends to the Gaima Plateau in the south.

History of formation

In the geological history of hundreds of millions of years, the Changbai Mountain area has experienced vicissitudes of life. Initially, Changbai Mountain here

was submerged by sea water. There is a vast ocean everywhere. Later, due to the rise of the earth's crust, the sea water withdrew and the surface resurfaced. Under the action of external forces such as sunlight, rain and climate change, the rocks on the ground were weathered and destroyed. Finally, Changbai Mountain also experienced volcanic eruptions and glaciers. , forming today’s landscape. About 30 million years ago, that is, during the Tertiary Period, the earth entered a new period of activity, which is known in geology as the Himalayan Orogeny. In about 25 million years, the Changbai Mountain area experienced four volcanic eruptions. Basalt magma started from the upper mantle, continued to rise along the huge cracks in the crust, and erupted to the surface with huge energy (known in geology as fissure volcanic eruption). Magma with strong impact sprays the original rocks and previously solidified rock blocks in the magma, volcanic ash, water vapor, etc. into the air, and then falls to the periphery or one side of the crater under the action of gravity and wind, where it accumulates into various forms. A volcanic landform. Because the viscosity of basalt magma is small, it flows quickly on the surface and flows over a long distance, so a broad basalt platform is formed. The bases of the main peaks of the Changbai Mountains such as the Nangang Mountains, Changhong Ridge and Yingbi Mountain, which are distributed along the northwest direction in the Changbai Mountains, are all basalt platforms formed during this period.

Between about 600,000 and 15 million years ago (middle to late Pleistocene in the Quaternary), the Changbai Mountains experienced another period of crustal activity, geologically known as the Paektusan Period. Four volcanic eruptions occurred during this period. The eruption pattern was characterized by a central type. The underground magma surged up along the cylindrical channel formed at the intersection of deep faults, forming a volcanic cone landscape on the surface.

Eruption History

The ejecta produced by the first volcanic eruption about 600,000 years ago formed the floor of the Changbai Mountain volcanic cone; the second volcanic eruption occurred 40 years ago. - About 300,000 years ago, this eruption lasted for a long time, and the rock formations were widely distributed and thick; the third volcanic eruption was about 200,000 to 100,000 years ago, and finally completed the Changbai Mountain volcanic cone shape; the fourth eruption About 80,000 years ago, there was mainly small-scale volcanic activity, and lava flows covered some parts of the volcanic cone. At this point, the main peak of Changbai Mountain was formed. In the above four volcanic activities, each time the volcanic material erupted increased the height of the volcano by more than 200 meters. At the same time, some small parasitic craters were formed around the main crater. Since then, Changbai Mountain has entered a period of relative stability. Between 11,000 and 15,000 years ago (during the Holocene of the Quaternary Period), the volcano resurrected and erupted a large amount of Changbai Mountain

grey-white-light yellow pumice, with a thickness of up to 60 meters in some places. This violent volcanic eruption caused the top of the volcanic cone to collapse and form a funnel-shaped crater. When the intensity of a volcanic eruption and the temperature of the lava gradually decrease, the magma gradually condenses in the volcanic channels and blocks the volcanic channels. After the volcanism ceased, the crater received continuous recharge from atmospheric precipitation and groundwater, gradually accumulating water into a lake, forming a crater lake. This is the famous Changbai Mountain Tianchi. Around the crater lake in Changbai Mountain, a group of peaks stand, including 16 peaks over 2,500 meters high, and the other peaks are all over 2,300 meters high. The top of the mountain is almost entirely composed of volcanic ash and light yellow pumice erupted around 12,000 years ago. The peaks are steep and craggy, tall and graceful, like lotus flowers and bamboo shoots. They are very spectacular. They complement each other with the clear water of Tianchi and are so beautiful. After the main body of Changbai Mountain was formed, the area entered an intermittent period of volcanic eruptions, and the crustal movement was relatively stable. However, in the long course of geological history (the earth was formed at least 4.6 billion years ago, and the crustal evolution in the Changbai Mountains also took place for about 3.2 billion years), the geological evolution history of the Changbai Mountains is only a short moment. The history of the Changbai Mountain volcano eruption is even shorter, but it is not dead yet, but is in a dormant state, called a dormant volcano. According to historical records, since 1597, the Changbai Mountain volcano has had three small-scale intermittent activities. The first eruption was on August 26, 1597 (the twenty-fifth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty). According to eyewitness records, there was "the sound of cannons being fired, and when you looked up, you could see the smoke rising into the sky. It was as big as several arms of rocks. It folded out with the smoke and flew over the mountains without knowing where it went." The second eruption occurred in 1668 (the seventh year of Emperor Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty). There was a "rain of ash" (i.e. volcanic ash) in the Changbai Mountains. The third eruption occurred on April 14, 1702 (the 41st year of Emperor Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty). According to historical records: "At noon, the sky and the earth suddenly dim, sometimes red and yellow, with smoke and flames, and the room is full of fishy stench. If it is in the oven, people cannot bear the heat. After the fourth watch, it disappears, and when you look at it, you will Rain and ash fell all over the fields, just like burning clam shells." "On the same day of the same month, a little later, smoke and clouds suddenly came from the northwest, the ground was dark, and the fishy stench hit people's clothes." According to the "Changbai Mountain Jianggang Zhilue", there is a "charcoal cliff" near Changbai Mountain. "There is a lot of charcoal at the bottom of the cliff. Hunters pick it up for cooking. The natives call it sacred charcoal because it comes from the ground. ．．．I picked up several pieces and burned them for roasting deer breasts, which are no different from ordinary charcoal. However, the two-foot-deep earth cliff can produce charcoal. Grip." Geologists have verified that the charcoal is the result of the high-temperature lava baking and burning the trees during this volcanic eruption. The Changbaishan volcano is currently in a dormant period. On a mountain more than 2,000 meters above sea level, there are many hot springs constantly overflowing from the ground, which shows that there is still huge energy in the ground. According to modern seismic observations, the crust in the Changbai Mountains is relatively stable. There are currently no signs of volcanic eruption in Changbai Mountain.

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas" records that Changbai Mountain is not Xian Mountain. "Book of the Later Han·Biography of Dongyi" records: "In the fifth year of the first year of Emperor Zhao (82 BC), Xuantu moved to Gouli. From the east of Shandan Daling, all Woju Tu belonged to Lelang." Shandan Daling is Changbai Mountain. . The word "shandan" here is similar to Shanyan in Manchu. Shanyan means white; Shanyan Daling means white mountain. "Book of Wei? Biography of Wuji" records that "there is Tutai Mountain in the south of Wuji country...there are tigers, leopards, bears and wolves that do not harm people, and people are not allowed to pollute the mountains. Those who go to the mountains will use things to carry them away"; "Northern History·Biography" There is another record similar to this in "Wuji". This is the earliest written record that the ancestors of the Manchu people worshiped Changbai Mountain under a mysterious veil. This passage says that there is a big mountain in the southern border of Mohe Kingdom, which refers to Changbai Mountain. In other books of the Southern and Northern Dynasties (such as "Book of Wei", "Book of Qi", etc.), the terms "Zong Taishan" and "Zong Baishan" often appear. Later, relevant records can be seen in "Book of Tang: Biography of Dongyi": "Mohe lived in Sushen, and the Limo tribe reached Taibai Mountain in the south. It is also said that they moved to Taishan to meet Gaoli.

"It can be seen that the names of Changbai Mountain at that time were very inconsistent. Some were called Zongtai Mountain, and some were called Yitai Mountain, Zongbai Mountain, and Taihuang Mountain. Most of the early territory of the Bohai Kingdom established by Su Mo Mohe was in the Changbai Mountain area. The "old country" is now Dunhua, Jilin. The Manchu legend "Hongluo Nu" has been passed down for thousands of years and is a cultural relic of the Bohai Sea. In Fu Yingren's biography, it is said that Changbai Mountain "is located in the central part of the Bohai Sea. She is a sacred mountain." On the top of Taibai, there is a real person born in the world, who is the ancestral god worshiped by the Manchus - the Holy Mother of Baishan." After the Khitans and Jurchens settled in the Central Plains and established the Liao and Jin dynasties, a unified name appeared for the first high mountain in the Northeast. ——Changbai Mountain. "Khitan National Chronicles" records: "Changbai Mountain is more than a thousand miles southeast of Lengshan...all the animals are white. Later, it was recorded in "Jin History. Benji 35": "There is Changbai Mountain in Jurchen land." "The Jurchens inherited Mohe and established the Jin Dynasty. They regarded Changbai Mountain as the birthplace and worshiped it to protect the country's prosperity. The emperor Zuo extended his reign forever and respected it as "Dongyue Changbai Mountain". Jin Shizong completed Yanyong in the twelfth year of Dading (1172) ) canonized Changbai Mountain as King Lingying of Xingguo, and ordered the Hanlin Academy to compile Dang Huaiying's "Chapter of Conferring the title of King Lingying on Changbai Mountain": "Since the analysis of Liangyi, the beauty of the mountains is different in its own way. When a country is about to prosper, God will do it. When the gods of Yue are resting, they must offer sacrifices. Therefore, the traces of King Zhaoji are as bright as the sun, looking at the mountains and rivers, and in Ji Yu Dian. Jue is Changbai, which carries my golden virtues. I look up to its height. It is actually the town of my old country... The saints and fanatics have flourished and prospered. As far as Taizu, the gods and warriors have conquered them. They are invincible in the world and they are the masters of the gods." Summary of Jin Xing Since then, Aguda's martial arts has recognized Changbai Mountain as "the place where kings are promoted", "where etiquette is respected, nobility is discussed, and temples are built". In the article, Changbai Mountain is called a sacred mountain and a beautiful mountain, with the words "carrying my golden virtue" and "looking up to it". To describe it with the highest praises such as "It's so high" shows the admiration and respect for this famous mountain outside the Great Wall. Therefore, in the fifteenth year of Dading (1175), the emperor built the Temple of King Lingying in the north of Changbai Mountain, and ordered ministers to observe etiquette and prepare rituals. He took this "Book of Documents" to pay homage to Changbai Mountain in the fourth year of Emperor Mingchang of Jin Zhangzong (1193), and the mountain god became the highest ranking among the mountains. After dropping the incense, I was ordered to pay tribute on the second day of the Spring and Autumn Period, and there was a memorial inscription. On August 19, 1999, a Jurchen inscription stele was unearthed on Diaoao platform in the north of Tianchi in Changbai Mountain. This ancient stele was initially identified. It was inscribed in the Jin Dynasty to worship the Changbai Mountain God. The text is "Changbai Mountain God" in Jurchen script. The "Dahuang Dingzi" altar ruins discovered on the western slope of Changbai Mountain in May 2008 have been verified by relevant experts as being highly regarded by the Jurchens and their ancestors. During the Yuan and Ming dynasties, there were many Jurchen sacrificial sites that were not affiliated with each other, and the national worship of Changbai Mountain was suspended. However, the Jurchens still maintained the worship of Changbai Mountain. The North Korean "New Dongguo Geographical Scenic Spot" was compiled. In 1530, it was recorded that the Jurchens "regarded Changbai Mountain as a sacred mountain". In the Qing Dynasty, the Manchus worshiped Changbai Mountain to the highest level, and further linked their clan origins to Changbai Mountain in the first year of Chongde (1636). The "Records of Emperor Taizu Wu" of the Han Dynasty first recorded the myth that "at the foot of Bukuli Mountain in the northeast of Changbai Mountain", Foculun swallowed the red fruit left by the sacred bird and was born Bukuli Yongshun, in order to show people the sacredness of the imperial power. Moreover, wicker fences were erected to establish Changbai Mountain as a royal holy land and a closed area. No one except the royal family was allowed to enter the mountain to cut trees, hunt or collect ginseng, so as not to disturb the gods and damage the dragon veins. I was ordered to pay a visit to Changbai Mountain, and went up the Songhua River to trace the origin of Sanyin Neyin (the transliteration of Manchu "sain neyen", which is the Manjiang River in Fusong County, Jilin Province today). Nayin tribe), he climbed to Tianchi with great difficulty, and returned to Beijing to petition for the title of God of Changbai Mountain. The following year, Emperor Kangxi "dedicated the title of God of Changbai Mountain and worshiped the Five Mountains." The status of Changbai Mountain worship was pushed to a new height, and the expression of Changbai Mountain worship jumped to the center of the historical stage along with the Manchu people, entering the sequence of the Zen ceremony of all Chinese emperors and ranking first in the 22nd year of Kangxi (1682), the Qing Emperor visited the East. In Jilin, he led the prince, kings and ministers to "go to the bank of the Songhua River, looking southeast towards the Changbai Mountain, and kneel three times and kowtow nine times to mark the place where their ancestors were prosperous". They all personally came to the Northeast to worship the birthplace of their ancestors - Changbai Mountain. Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty decreed that the gods of Changbai Mountain should be worshiped as the Five Sacred Mountains, and should be higher than the Five Sacred Mountains and worshiped together with the Five Sacred Mountains. In 1682 AD, he visited the Songhua River in Jilin. Pay homage to Changbai Mountain from a distance. In the eleventh year of Yongzheng's reign (1733), Zunzhi built the Wangji Temple on Wendeheng Mountain (Xiaobai Mountain) in the southwest of Jilin City. The sacred table in the hall was erected with the title "God of Changbai Mountain" in both Manchu and Chinese characters. A sacrificial vessel building was built at the foot of the mountain, and a deer enclosure was built at the foot of the mountain for worship. At the end of the day, Jilin generals and deputy governors took turns burning incense to offer sacrifices. In the 19th year of Qianlong's reign (1754), Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty visited Xiaobai Mountain in person, offered sacrifices to Changbai Mountain in the Wangji Hall, and ordered the sealing of Changbai Mountain to protect the holy mountain of origin. Later, when the emperors did not come to Jilin, they were replaced by Jilin generals who "offered sacrifices at every age to repay Tron." In the year of Emperor Qianlong's eastward tour, he visited Xiaobai Mountain in Jilin. Although they did not climb to the Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain to pay homage to the birthplace of their ancestors, some of them had already visited the surrounding areas (large and small shipyards in Jilin City, Weishan in Kaiyuan County). Fort, etc.). Moreover, he also wrote a large number of poems praising and commemorating Changbai Mountain.

Kangxi has the poem "Looking at the Changbai Mountain" and "The Essay on the Thousand Changbai Mountains" (two articles), Qianlong has five "Essays on the Changbai Mountain", and Jiaqing has two "Essays on the Changbai Mountains", all of which are vivid and colorful. Breathtaking. Kangxi's "Comment on Changbai Mountain" said: "Only the gods and heroes stand in the east, maintaining cooperation and supporting the prosperity of the scenery. The rivers and seas are dredged, and the auspiciousness and auspiciousness are condensed. The supernatural power lasts for thousands of years, and the Pufan nourishes the common people." "I believe that when the country is ordered to unite, the gods of the mountains and rivers will not cooperate with each other. To trace the traces of rise and fall, and to promote the auspiciousness of fortune, it is especially suitable to mark the beginning of the year and the Ming Dynasty, and to mark the birth of the day. The top of the mountain is made from the sky, and the shape is in the song. Its origin is old, but it is a beautiful place in the eastern border, with abundant lakes and rivers. It spreads out the veins of the three rivers and spreads over thousands of miles. It has the wonderful function of spreading clouds and releasing rain, and it is used to benefit materials and people. There is no other miracle like the sacred mountain. "Beijing." The memorial article written by Qianlong said: "In the early Qing Dynasty, it was located in Changbai Mountain. It was not clear that it was not effective. The three rivers of Yalu, Hutong and Aihu came out. Yan. The emperor used his daughter Tianmei to give birth to a holy son. The emperor used Xi to name him Jueluo, and named him Aixin. Huifa, Jiefan..." Until the end of the Qing Dynasty, Liu Jianfeng of Antu County still reported to the court: "Changbai Mountain is the birthplace of our dynasty. A born saint, the area was leveled in Wan Si's year." Therefore, he suggested going up the mountain. The temple was rebuilt to worship the god of Changbai Mountain. With the approval of the imperial court, the county magistrate organized four mountaineering inspections and took more than 40 photos of Changbai Mountain's scenic spots. After returning, he compiled a photo album "Changbai Mountain Miracles" and presented it to the court. Today, Changbai Mountain has become a tourist and leisure resort, with tourists from all over the world gathering here and never leaving.

Changbai Mountain is one of the top ten famous mountains in China and is as famous as the Five Mountains. It is the first mountain in Guandong with beautiful scenery and charming scenery. In 2007, it became one of the first batch of national mountains. The AAAAA-level scenic spot is named after its main peak, Baiyun Peak, which is filled with white pumice and snow. It is known as "thousands of years of snow turns into annual pine trees, reaching the highest peak in the world". Walking into Changbai Mountain is to walk into majesty and grandeur - the majestic figure leaps 2,691 meters out of the sea. Represented by Changbai Mountain Tianchi, it integrates waterfalls, hot springs, canyons, underground forests, volcanic lava forests, alpine gardens, underground rivers, virgin forests, clouds, ice and snow and other tourist landscapes, forming a beautiful and charming landscape. Nature has endowed it with extremely rich and unique resources, making it a tourist attraction integrating ecological tourism, scenery tourism, border tourism and folk custom tourism. Changbai Mountain Landscape Photos (20 photos) The famous Changbai Mountain Tianchi is located at the top of the volcanic cone of the main peak of Changbai Mountain. It is the largest crater lake in my country and has won the Guinness World Record for the highest volcanic lake. Tianchi is surrounded by strange peaks and its water is green and clear. It is the source of the Songhua River, Tumen River and Yalu River. The Changbai Waterfall pouring down from Tianchi is the largest volcanic lake waterfall in the world. It roars like thunder, splashes water, and covers the sky with mist. Jinjiang Falls, located in the south of Guandian Peak, falls twice and merges into a huge stream, which flows straight to the bottom of the valley. It is thrilling and echoes the Tianchi Falls in the south and north, making it a spectacular sight. It vividly reproduces the magical realm of "suspected dragon pond spraying auspicious snow, like flying streams hanging from the sky". Visitors who are immersed in the scene will have a pleasant feeling of drizzle falling and cooling their hearts. The Yalu River Grand Canyon and the Changbai Mountain Grand Canyon combine strange peaks, strange rocks, deep valleys, beautiful water, ancient trees, and precious grasses. The ravines are steep and long, and the streams are quiet and quiet. Its broad and majestic style and primitive artistic conception deeply shocked the hearts and souls of tourists.

Changbai Mountain Tianchi

Tianchi

Changbai Mountain Tianchi is the source of Songhua, Tumen and Yalu rivers, and is the boundary lake between China and North Korea. It is like a piece of magnificent jasper embedded in the majestic peaks of Changbai Mountain. It is said that Tianchi was originally a precious mirror of Taibai Venus. The Queen Mother of the West has two beautiful daughters. It is difficult for anyone to tell which of the two sisters is more beautiful. At a peach festival, Taibai Jinxing took out his precious mirror and said that as long as he looked with it, he could see who was more beautiful. The younger daughter took the mirror first, looked at it, and then handed it to her sister shyly. My sister looked around in the mirror, and the more she looked at her, the more beautiful she felt. At this time, Baojing said: "I think, my sister is more beautiful." The sister was so angry that she threw the Baojing down into the Yaochi, and it fell to the human world and became Tianchi... There is also a legend that there is a fire demon in Changbai Mountain who breathes fire and smoke, causing the vegetation on the mountain to wither and the sun to be blocked by flames all day long, making the people miserable. There was a girl named Azalea. In order to subdue the evil fire demon, she carried ice cubes into its belly to extinguish the raging fire. After the fire was extinguished, the top of the mountain turned into a lake. Tianchi is slightly oval in shape, shaped like a lotus leaf emerging from the water. According to "Changbai Mountain Jianggang Zhilue": "Tianchi is at the center of Changbai Mountain, surrounded by peaks, about 20 miles above the ground, so it is named Tianchi." The actual lake height of Tianchi is 2194 meters, making it the highest crater lake in my country. , worthy of the name of "Tianchi". Tianchi has a lake area of ??9.8 square kilometers, an average depth of 204 meters, and the deepest point of 373 meters, making it the deepest lake in my country. Due to its high altitude, Tianchi in Changbai Mountain has a changeable climate, characterized by strong winds, heavy rains, and lots of snow. It has a 10-month winter and the lake remains frozen for 6 months. When the wind reaches level 5, the wave height in the pool can reach more than 1 meter. Just like a willful girl getting angry, the calm lake surface suddenly roars with strong winds, sand and gravel fly up, and even heavy rain pours, and ice and snow fall suddenly. The graceful and colorful peaks and cliffs are all covered with a hazy veil.

This foggy, windy, and rainy, ever-changing, and ethereal Baishan wind and cloud not only paints the wonderful beauty of "the water is clear but the sky is clear, and the mountain is empty and rainy", it also adds an infinite sense of mystery to Changbai Mountain Tianchi, which shapes the The unique personality of Tianchi in Changbai Mountain. Although the climate is cold, the grasses and flowers growing in a limited area make Tianchi come alive with vigorous vitality. The graceful Landrace Rhododendron is the first to bring spring to the white snow. They take root in the alpine tundra at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, spreading green brocade. The graceful alpine poppy has white flowers. Together with the azalea, it is known as the two sacred flowers of Changbai Mountain. Alpine lilies that look like fairies in red, rare invertebrates with stems curling upward from the ground, alpine chrysanthemums that look like golden earrings, small and exquisite evergreen gentians, alpine junipers everywhere, and the Quaternary ice age from the Arctic The Changbai bilberry, pine hair green, etc. that have passed over, squatting with their short bodies, weave together the beautiful scenery of Tianchi with their perseverance and tenacious vitality. Changbai Mountain, like a jade dragon, stretches across the northeastern border of China. It is famous both at home and abroad for its beauty, richness and spectacular scenery. Baitou Mountain Tianchi near the main peak of Changbai Mountain is a famous volcanic lake. The deepest point in the lake reaches 373 meters, and the average water depth is 204 meters. Tianchi has attracted countless tourists with its clear lake water, boiling hot springs and roaring waterfalls. However, in August 1962, someone used a telescope to discover two water monsters chasing each other on the surface of Tianchi Lake, and its reputation has become even greater. One noon in August 1976, a group of tourists from Beijing, China, were sitting on the ground beside the deep blue Tianchi Lake under the towering Tianwen Peak in Changbai Mountain, having a picnic. Suddenly, a girl let out a sharp scream: "Look, water monster!..." Everyone looked back in shock, only to see a ferocious water monster with dark fur and a shape like a brown bear, lying on a rugged patch of ground beside Tianchi. Behind the strange rocks, its eyes were glaring at the crowd nearby. When it heard the screams, it jumped up in horror, jumped into the water with a splash. A herringbone ripple suddenly appeared in the calm Tianchi, and the water monster disappeared in an instant. This is the Tianchi water monster that has been rumored for a long time. It suddenly jumped from the water to the shore in broad daylight! Many witnesses unanimously confirmed this fact.

Changbai Sixteen Peaks

Changbai Mountain

[1] Baiyun Peak: It is the main peak of Changbai Mountain. It stands on the west side of Tianchi with an altitude of 2691 meters. It is the highest peak in the Northeast. A peak is also called "layer rock". Tianwen Peak: Commonly known as Yingzui Peak, it is located north and east of Tianchi Lake. Because the Changbai Mountain Tianchi Weather Station was built on the east side of the peak in 1958, it was renamed Tianwen Peak. Tianwen Peak is 476 meters above the water and 2,670 meters above sea level. It is the highest peak on the east side of Changbai Mountain and the third highest peak in Changbai Mountain. Yuzhu Peak: Located to the west of Tianchi and one kilometer northeast from Baiyun Peak, it is also known as Qingshi Peak. This peak is 2664 meters above sea level. The peak is so high that it looks like a jade pillar holding up the sky. It stands tall and stands tall against the sky. It can be said to be the assistant of Baiyun Peak. Tiyun Peak: There is a peak with an altitude of 2543 meters on the southwest side of Changbai Mountain. The rocks are exposed and open like a ladder. This peak is 1.5 kilometers away from Yuzhu Peak in the north. It is 400 meters from the edge of Tianchi to the top of this peak. The Tihe Waterfall flows from the top of the peak. The top of the mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, and even on a clear day the outline of the peak cannot be clearly seen. Legend has it that this peak leads directly to the Heavenly Palace and is a ladder connecting heaven to the human world, so it is called Tiyun Peak. Crown Peak: Crown Peak is also known as Yuxue Peak. It is 2525.8 meters above sea level, 370.8 meters from Tianchi to the peak. It is located due south of Tianchi and faces Tianhuo Peak and Tianchi Waterfall. The side of Guandianfeng facing Tianchi is mainly white pumice. Looking from a distance, it is white all year round, and it is difficult to distinguish snow and rocks. On the side of Tianchi, there is a lot of snow that does not melt all year round. Back in summer, the mountain peaks are covered with snow under the sunshine, with the azure Tianchi as a backdrop, which is unique and interesting.

Changbai Mountain Grand Canyon

Changbai Mountain Grand Canyon

Changbai Mountain Grand Canyon is a fissure zone formed during the volcanic eruption. It is the upper source of Jinjiang River. The canyon is about 60 Kilometers long, the widest part is more than 300 meters, while the narrowest part is only a few meters, and the vertical depth is about 150 meters. Dense forests grow on both sides of the canyon, and the trees are straight and thick. Due to the low temperature and humidity in the valley, the old forest is covered with old white silk, moss, and mushrooms, quietly spreading colors. This is an extremely spectacular grand canyon. Since its landforms are mainly formed by mountain valleys and narrow valleys, the valley slopes on both sides of the canyon, especially on both sides of the Dihe River, appear extremely steep. Coupled with years of frost and weathering, the periglacial rock pillars in the canyon have been eroded by wind and rain over the years, forming a colorful and majestic natural landscape. The shapes of those lava forests are really varied and refreshing. There is one that looks like the moon. Some are shaped like golden roosters, some resemble camels, some resemble Guanyin, some are girls clinging to their lovers, some are mothers holding their beloved sons, and so on.
