Introduction to scenic spots on the western slope of Changbai Mountain

Pine and birch trees are in love on the grassland that spreads out like a carpet on the western slope of Changbai Mountain. You can often see the moving scene of pine and birch trees depending on each other: pine trees Tall and straight, solemn and solemn, like a masculine man; the birch branches and leaves are stretched out, and the figure is graceful, like a soft and pretty lady

. They are like a pair of lovers meeting in Changbai Mountain, or holding a grand collective wedding, forming a powerful "pine and birch transformation" landscape.

Changbai Mountain Grand Canyon Changbai Mountain Grand Canyon, also known as "Jinjiang Grand Canyon", is the most magnificent landscape in Changbai Mountain. It is known as "China's Colorado" and "Volcanic Natural Lava Bonsai Garden".

Golden Thread Spring

Golden Thread Spring is located at the east foot of Yuzhu Peak, on the west bank of Tianchi, and is close to Tianchi. The spring water flows out from between the two stone pillars in the north and south. The water flows like silk and shines like golden threads under the sunlight. Liu Jianfeng, who was the first to conduct a comprehensive scientific survey of Changbai Mountain, said, "If you are short-sighted, it is like water and dew on Venus," so he gave it this beautiful name. Spring water as thin as silk flows trickling into Tianchi. Jinxian Spring is a seasonal spring. "It is covered by snow in autumn and winter without a trace, and it is enviable to circle around in summer. The water line is about five miles long." (Liu Jianfeng said). Legend has it that there is a rain official from Changbai Mountain named Shuang Shen in the spring. This snake has wings. Whenever it flaps its wings and flies high, it will rain heavily in Changbai Mountain.

This legend is actually an original explanation of the weather in Changbai Mountain. Affected by the east-west monsoon, it is indeed rainy in summer in Changbai Mountain, almost every day. Therefore, the above legend is interpreted from the poem "Ode to the White Mountain": "It rains a lot in the summer in the Baishan Mountain, and two snakes must fly every day."

Yujiang Spring

Yujiang Spring is located on the west slope of Changbai Mountain beside Tianchi, east of Yuzhu Peak, about 350 meters away from Tianchi. The spring water gushes out from the cracks in the rocks, gurgling, and soon disappears into the cracks of the rocks, becoming a hidden spring. It emerges from the ground about 20 meters away from Tianchi, and gurglingly flows into Tianchi. Liu Jianfeng once visited Yujiang Spring on the spot. He said, "Yujiang Spring, more than six steps away from Tianchi in the southwest, flows into Tianchi. The water is clear and the sand is bright, and it is clear and pleasant, so it is named." Liu Jianfeng also said, "I first drank from Tianchi, and then tasted the spring water. The taste is sweet and clean.” "Ode to the White Mountain" says: "If you go to the Tianchi, you must fill the silver pot with jade syrup." This refers to this spring.

Jinjiang Waterfall

Jinjiang Waterfall is located on the southwest slope of Changbai Mountain and originates from Tiyun Peak of Changbai Mountain. The spring water falls on the rock, and after falling twice, it merges into a huge stream, flowing straight from the cliff to the bottom of the valley, with a total height of about 70 meters. The sound of water shook the valley and was thrilling. This stepped waterfall, also known as the double-fold waterfall, is very unique. It is a major landscape on the western slope of Changbai Mountain.

Yulan Waterfall

Yulan Waterfall is located on the west slope. Due to its distance from the central scenic spot and inconvenient transportation, it is difficult for many tourists to appreciate its majestic appearance.

The Jade Blue Waterfall is like a rolling dam. Although it is not very high, it is quite wide and hidden deep in the dense forest. Perhaps, it hides here intentionally to leave some stamina for future development. According to relevant parties, survey work has begun, and planning and development and construction matters will be fully considered at the appropriate time.

Changbai Reclining Buddha

As soon as you walk into the west slope of Changbai Mountain, step onto the open alpine garden, and look towards the main peak of Changbai Mountain, you will immediately see the giant Buddha formed by the mountain. Lying peacefully in the sky, his expression is extremely solemn and comfortable, which is admirable. This creation of nature is amazing. People who believe in the creation of nature often pay homage to the incarnation of wisdom. Facing the peaceful nature, human beings will also become peaceful.

Alpine Garden

The tundra zone of Changbai Mountain is not a desolate desert. It is a magical "hanging garden" and the only treasure house of original alpine vegetation in Northeast Asia. More than 170 species of tundra plants have been discovered. There are no seasons in the alpine tundra of Changbai Mountain, and there is permafrost below the surface. It is windy 300 days out of 365 days a year; it is covered with ice and snow for 9 out of 12 months out of the year. The plants here are very magical. During the frost-free period of July and August every year, they germinate, bloom, and set seeds at an extremely fast speed, and then enter dormancy. In the past two months, from the hillside at an altitude of 2,000 meters to the top of Changbai Mountain, it was like magic. The entire mountain was covered with a thick carpet of flowers, and countless exotic flowers competed for their beauty. When people come here, they will have the feeling of coming to heaven and admiring the hanging gardens.

On the western slope of Changbai Mountain, this magical flower season is most obvious. Due to the sunny weather, spring comes earlier on the west slope than on the north slope. Every year at the end of June and the beginning of July, hundreds of flowers bloom on the highlands on the western slope of Changbai Mountain. The number of flowers and the vast area are all amazing. Because it is inaccessible and the scenery is superb, people think it is a place where gods live, so it is called the garden in heaven and the place where angels walk.

In addition to flowers, there are many butterflies, bees and other insects and small animals in the alpine garden. Someone once saw wild sika deer here and caught a very precious and rare arctic viper!

Wang Chi

Wang Chi is located on the western slope of Changbai Mountain, backed by Yuxue Peak, facing Jinjiang River, and hand in hand with the magical and beautiful alpine gardens. The pool is 1,850 meters above sea level, 200 meters in diameter, and covers an area of ??about 2,000 square meters. There is another story about the name of Wangchi.

It is said that Nurhachi, a young man, fell ill while digging ginseng in Changbai Mountain. He cured his illness and survived by drinking the water from this pool. Nurhachi never forgot Chi Shui's life-saving grace. When he became a great weapon and unified the north, he returned to his hometown in Changbai Mountain to visit Chi Shui. Nurhachi said: "The common people call me King Laohan, and I should call this life-saving pool water king!" The water of Wangchi is clean, and the sides of the pool are covered with sand grasses - Ural grass and cattail grass, as well as beautiful birch trees and Tasong trees. Accompany each other. There are small fish in the pond, many frogs, and many birds in the forest. The clear lake surface is often filled with the croaking of frogs and the chirping of birds. 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, no wonder, swarms of dragonflies are always flying on the lake.

Qianqi Slope

Qianqi Slope is a landscape on the west slope of Changbai Mountain. In the past, it was a must-go place for hiking to see Tianchi. Because the hillside is steep, the slope is large, and there is no flat place in the middle. Visitors must keep climbing. In addition, there are overgrown trees and the view is not wide, making people breathless. This section of the mountain climbing road is called the Breathing Slope.

The beauty of Qianqipo lies in its participation. If you don’t climb the Panting Slope, you won’t be able to feel the excitement of being close to the mountains. Only after climbing the panting slope can you feel the joy after hard work. Maybe nature understands human thinking very well. If you want to see the wonders of Tianchi, you must first experience the pain of mountain climbing. After the hardship, there is a flat and open place for people to rest. Then, there is a new and more difficult road waiting for people to climb. What's after the breathtaking slope? A "tiger"!

Old Tiger's Back

Tiger's Back is a major landscape on the western slope of Changbai Mountain. It's also a stumbling block. After passing Qianqi Slope, you will reach Tiger Back. It was also the only way to hike to see Tianchi. The mountain looks like a crouching tiger. The serpentine path is on the back of the tiger, and there are slopes and cliffs on both sides of the mountain path, which is very dangerous. Visitors need to be careful when walking along this route. After passing the tiger's back, they are not far from the mysterious Tianchi.

The scenery on the back of the tiger is very unique regardless of spring, summer, autumn or winter. In spring, the color of the rocks is exposed on the tiger's back in the white snow, and the yellow azaleas bloom on the tiger's waist in the snow; in summer, the tiger's back is green and covered with green camouflage uniforms; in autumn, its true color is displayed under the bright sunshine. , the tiger shows off all its beauty! Perhaps, at this moment, the tiger’s back is the most beautiful. In winter, everything turns white, and the tiger turns into a silver tiger lying across Changbai Mountain, looking so sacred and inaccessible! Looking at the tiger's back, I just feel it is beautiful. Walking up there is like riding on the back of a tiger, it's frightening. Young people like to say that the only thing to play is the heartbeat. Then walk more times on the back of the tiger!

Yuanyang Land

Yuanyang Land is a strange landscape in Changbai Mountain and a mystery of nature. On gentle slopes, you often see two approximately circular grasslands connected together, but the colors are not the same, and the difference is sometimes very large. This kind of strange circle in the biological world can be found in the Changbai Mountains and also in the northern prairie. . So far, scientists cannot explain why the grass grows in circles, and the colors of adjacent circles are so different. It is said that delicious mushrooms will grow along the grass circle. Experienced mountain people often pick mushrooms along the grass circle. Changbai Mountain people call this kind of circle-shaped grassland with different colors Yuanyang Land. First, it means that the two circles are different, and secondly, it means that the two circles are inseparable. What a good name. For tourists who like to explore nature, visiting Yuanyang Land is an indispensable tourist item.

The Wonderful Ladder River

There is the "Ladder River" in Changbai Mountain. Just from this strange name, you can imagine that it is extraordinary. Visitors to Changbai Mountain are all interested in seeing its wonders when they arrive at the Tiji River.

The Ladder River is a large deep valley formed by the river passing through long and narrow cliffs. Because it is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, it resembles a folk ladder, so it is named "Ladder River". There are two Ladder Rivers in Changbai Mountain: there is one in the upper reaches of Erdaobai River in Antu County on the northern slope, not far from Changbai Falls, but it is relatively short. The most famous one is located in Fusong County on the west slope and near the Weidong Border Work Station. The Songhua River tributaries, Nan Jinjiang River and Bei Jinjiang River, form two large and small ladder rivers, each of which is more than ten kilometers long.

The Ladder River is very unique. You can say it is an above-ground river, but it is only hidden deep underground. You can only hear the rumbling sound of the water but cannot see the river water; say it is an underground river. If you push aside the thatch and lean down to look, you will not see it. The rapid water flow is clearly visible. In order to facilitate the passage of vehicles, people used logs to build "bridges" on both sides of the Ladder River. This one or two meter long bridge is probably the shortest bridge in the world. In fact, people can cross this river in one step in most places, and its widest point is only three meters. Although the Ladder River is narrow, it is deep, with an average depth of more than ten meters and the deepest point reaching more than 30 meters. Standing on the bridge or by the river, carefully looking around, you will see that the valley is as straight as a cut, very narrow, with moss growing on both sides, and it is moist and smooth. The river at the bottom of the valley is as dark as black, winding and flowing. Standing by the river, I felt a refreshing coolness, coupled with the rapids on the cliffs, it was frightening. Throw a stone down, and it takes a while before you hear an echo.

Ladder River is also called "Prey River" because people often pick up dead animals in the river. Due to the fallen trees and vines covering the ladder river, it is extremely difficult to see unless you look carefully. Therefore, wild animals living in the Changbai Mountains, such as black bears, wild deer, roe deer, hares, etc., can easily fall into the river and die when they are migrating.

The biggest feature of this river is that no matter when the animals are picked, they are guaranteed not to rot and are still very fresh. Because the Tiji River is located in an alpine zone, the river only begins to thaw in late June every year. Therefore, the thaw period of this river is only more than three months. The water temperature is very low, with the maximum temperature being only three to four degrees Celsius. The border guards stationed near the Tizi River therefore use it as a "natural refrigerator". They hang up the fish, meat and fresh vegetables brought from the mountains and store them in the river. They can eat them at will, which is both antiseptic and fresh. .

Yuanyang Pond

Yuanyang Pond is located deep in the dense forest on the west slope of Changbai Mountain. There are two theories about the origin of the name Yuanyang Pond. One is that it is a paradise for wild birds. There are always groups of waterfowl inhabiting it in spring, summer and autumn, especially many mandarin ducks. One is that there are two similar pools connected together, in pairs, inseparable, similar to mandarin ducks, hence the name. In fact, it is correct to combine the two reasons into one. Yuanyang Pond is indeed two small lakes together, and at the same time, there are indeed many water birds in the lake.

Yuanyangchi is a lake formed after a volcanic eruption. The lake is crystal clear and is far away from the human world without any pollution. It is a rare paradise for water birds.
