What are the travel strategies for the northern and western slopes of Changbai Mountain?

The western and northern slopes of Changbai Mountain have their own characteristics. The biggest difference is mainly Tianchi and Grand Canyon. On the west slope, you can see the panorama of Tianchi. If you look at Tianchi Lake, it will be more beautiful and more suitable for panoramic photography. And there are fewer people than the north slope, so you have enough time to take pictures.

The travel strategy of the northern slope of Changbai Mountain is as follows:

If you go to Songjiang first, you can play on the west slope (chartered car from 80 yuan to the west slope is negotiable), and then take the return bus (yellow taxi) from Erdaobaihe to Erdaobaihe for 50 yuan money, thus saving the charter fee of 190 yuan.

Don't let the driver take you to the hotel. You can ask the driver to tell you the general direction, and then you can go to the hotel yourself, because they all get a commission. Accommodation is more convenient. You'd better make a reservation before you go.

To enter the scenic spot, you must take the eco-car to the transfer center first, then you can choose to take the inverted bus to the left main peak to see Tianchi, or you can take the eco-car to the right road to see Changbai Waterfall. If the weather is fine in the morning, you can take advantage of fewer tourists to go to the main peak and take a reverse bus (usually a Mercedes-Benz van, 20 minutes one way) to experience the thrill of Panshan Road's continuous rapid curve crossing.

It takes about ten minutes to get off and walk to the top of the mountain. The mountain is divided into two lines, A and B, which are marked. Generally, from the A line on the right to the top of the mountain, then continue to take the B line for sightseeing and then go down the mountain without going back. If time is limited, you can swim the A line and come down directly from the step road between the two lines.

Take an eco-car from the transfer center to the waterfall parking lot (one-way 10 minute), and walk a short distance on the plank road to see Julongquan and Changbai Waterfall, which are the only exits of Tianchi, and the water flow gap of 68 meters is spectacular. There are unique hot spring eggs in the hot spring square here. You can try it, or you can wash your hands in the hot spring pool and feel the volcanic hot springs.

Erdaobaihe Town is about 40 minutes' drive from the North Slope Scenic Area, which is the main tourist distribution center. There are all kinds of hotels, shops, restaurants and bars in the town, and the consumption is not expensive. If you have leisure time, you can also go to the Changbai Mountain Natural Museum in the town, or go to the Northeast Wind Changbai Mountain Grand Theatre to see the duet performance. The nearby big stage river, underworld and other small attractions are also worth seeing.

The travel strategy of the west slope of Changbai Mountain is as follows:

Xipo Scenic Area is located at the west foot of Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain. There are many invisible landscapes on the north slope, such as Jinjiang Grand Canyon and Alpine Garden. You can also stand next to the boundary pillar of China and North Korea and take photos as a souvenir. Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain, viewed from the top of the west slope, has a broader and more spectacular view than from the north slope.

Compared with the northern slope scenic spot, the western slope is developed late and there are fewer tourists. Summer is the tourist season of Changbai Mountain, and it is also the season of wild flowers blooming on the mountain, which is very charming. In addition to the above-mentioned scenic spots, there are other scenic spots in Xipo Scenic Area, such as Tizi River, Iris Garden and Wang Chi.

As soon as you enter the mountain gate, you can take the environmental protection bus directly up the mountain to see Tianchi, which takes about 45 minutes by car. It takes about 20-30 minutes to climb 1440 steps from the eco-car parking lot on the mountain to the top of the mountain. If you are not physically strong, you can also spend money on sliding poles.

The steps up the mountain are wide, and some guardrails can sit down and rest on the way, so it won't be very tiring to climb up. Climbing to the top of the mountain is a big viewing platform, from which you can enjoy the panoramic view of Tianchi and the peaks. Next to the observation deck is the boundary pillar between China and North Korea, which is sacred and solemn. You can take pictures on both sides, but don't cross the rope used as a fence at will.

After returning to the parking lot, take the eco-car down the mountain and start to visit various small attractions in turn. Finally, after seeing the alpine garden, you can take the bus directly back to the mountain gate, or get off at the fork in the road on the way, where you can change to a minibus to go to Wang Chi Garden. After watching Wang Chi, you need to go back the same way, take a minibus, and then transfer to a bus to return to the mountain gate.

The restaurants in Xipo Scenic Area are located near Gaoshan Garden, but the price is slightly higher, and there are not many canteens in the scenic area. It is recommended to take some dry food and water to travel. There is also a natural ski park in the scenic area, where you can experience skiing, snowmobiling and other entertainment projects in winter. You can stay in Songjianghe Town in the west of the scenic spot at night. There are all kinds of hotels, shops and restaurants in the town, and the consumption is not expensive.
