Topography of Changbai Mountain

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 piedmont inclined plateau) is located between the basalt platform and the volcanic cone, which is an obvious inclined zone. Generally, the ground slope is about 10 degree, and the altitude is about 1 0,000-10,800 meters, which is the transition zone from steep volcanic cone to basalt platform.

Main scenic spots in Changbai Mountain

Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain is located at the top of the volcanic cone of the main peak of Changbai Mountain. It is a crater, and after a long time, it will accumulate water into a lake. The elevation of Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain is 2 189. 1 meter. Tianchi is slightly oval, 4.4 kilometers long from north to south and 3.37 kilometers wide from east to west. The total storage capacity is 2.04 billion cubic meters. The water temperature in Tianchi Lake ranges from 0.7℃ to 1 1℃, with an average annual temperature of 7.3℃ ... Tianchi Lake is the highest and largest alpine lake in China, and it is also the birthplace of the three major rivers in northeast China-Songhua River, Yalu River and Tumen River.

Changbai Waterfalls Group

Changbai Mountain is surrounded by Tianchi Qifeng, and there is a gap between the astronomical peak in the north and Longmen peak. Water overflows from this gap and flows northward through the cliff of1.250m, forming a waterfall group with a drop of 68m. This is Changbai Waterfall Group, the first scenic spot in Changbai Mountain and the largest waterfall group in Northeast China. The upper part is connected with Tianchi Lake and the lower part is connected with Erdaobai River, which is the positive source of Songhua River.

Julongquan

Julongquan is the hot spring with the largest amount of water, the widest distribution and the highest water temperature in the hot spring group, and it can be called the first spring in Changbai Mountain. It is located 900 meters north of Changbai Waterfall, under the rockfill pile in the north of Roby Peak. Distribution area 1000 square meters, Erdaobai River passes through the middle of Wenquan Group. On the right side of the river, there are dozens of springs and seven big springs. Numerous heat flows gush out from the ground, like a dragon spraying water, hence the name Julongquan, and there is a "body-benefiting bath" in the lower part of Julongquan.

Heifengkou

Climb the mountain along the north slope to Tianchi. At the junction of Yuehua forest belt and alpine tundra, the eastern end of Bulao peak and the intersection of observation deck, a gap naturally forms, which is the famous black tuyere in Changbai Mountain. You can see the panoramic view of Changbai Waterfall at the tuyere, and you can enjoy the panoramic view of U-shaped valley here. Looking up at the black tuyere from the bottom of the U-shaped valley, the black tuyere became the gate of the castle, which opened between two bunkers and was called the "Southern Gate". Groups of white-waisted swift often appear on the black tuyere, and the broken ridges and steep cliffs happen to be the nests of swift.
