Changbaishan or Changbai Mt is in Jilin Province, China along the China/North Korea border. It is a stratovolcano range with a crater lake, Tianchi (Heavenly Lake) at its summit. The picturesque Changbai Mt Scenic Area is a 5A national scenic area with alpine forests, snow-capped mountains, lakes, waterfalls and hotsprings. Different seasons will unfold magical scenes of the area.

Changbaishan is one of China's premier ski destinations, offering world-class skiing experiences amidst breathtaking natural surroundings. During our recent trip to Changbaishan, we stayed at the Hyatt Regency, which offered an excellent base for our skiing adventure. Located at the foot of the Changbai Mountains, the Hyatt Regency boasts a prime location in the heart of Changbaishan International Resort. The hotel features luxurious accommodations, with spacious rooms and suites offering stunning views of the mountains. The hotel's facilities are top-notch, including a spa, fitness center, and several excellent dining options. Of course, the main attraction during our trip was the skiing, and Changbaishan did not disappoint. The resort boasts over 43 kilometers of ski runs, with something for skiers of all levels, from beginners to experts. The snow quality was excellent, and we were able to enjoy the slopes in relative peace, as the resort is still somewhat undiscovered by international tourists. One of the highlights of our trip was skiing down the Changbai Grand Canyon, a breathtaking run that took us through a narrow canyon flanked by towering cliffs. Another highlight was the chance to ski on Changbai Mountain itself, one of the most majestic peaks in China. Overall, our ski trip to Changbaishan was an unforgettable experience, and the Hyatt Regency provided the perfect base for our adventure. If you're looking for world-class skiing in a stunning natural setting, Changbaishan is definitely worth a visit. And if you're looking for a luxurious hotel to stay in while you're there, the Hyatt Regency is an excellent choice.

It’s almost winter time so it’s time to plan your ski trip! 🤩 If you’re planning to go to Changbai mountain, then Sheraton can be your consideration. It is one of the more affordable option with decent facilities and not far from the ski resort itself. Room was good, all ski resort tickets are included (except clothes rental) and they have big gym, too, that is bigger than The Westin’s. The only drawback is that you’d need to walk outside to go to the swimming pool which is located inside The Westin building, and that it is one of the father away hotel location from the Hannasan hotspring resort (Hyatt is the nearest). Tips: Check the weather forecast before you go. It would probably nicer to have bright and sunny days during your stay. But hey, some blizzard would add up to your winter experience! _______ Address - Fusong County, Baishan, China (one area with The Westin, swimming pool only at The Westin building) Ambiance/Facilities - Ski Resort Highlights - a more affordable accommodation with good access to Ski Resort (vs. Holiday Inn that is located super high up the snow mountain) Avg. Price per Person - USD 400 Rating - 4.0/5.0 #mytripvlog #skiresorts #wintergetaway #skitrip #china

Address: HYATT REGENCY CHANGBAISHAN Atmosphere/Facilities: Calm interior and many facilities and programs to enjoy Key Points: Average price per person: USD 200 Rating: 3.8 I requested airport pickup when making the reservation, and was told to wait for a staff member holding a card with the hotel name on it when I arrived at the airport on the day. I couldn't see the hotel name (there were other hotels) I thought the staff went to the bathroom for a while, so I kept waiting but they didn't come I called the hotel and they told me to go to the parking lot and look for a bus... Only taxi drivers were honking and the buses had all left I called the hotel again and they told me to wait while they talked to the staff 15 minutes later they called and said the bus had already left so they would send another staff member... There was no sign that said Hyatt Regency Changbaishan in the first place and the pick-up bus wasn't even a Hyatt-only vehicle. It was a bus that picked up guests from various hotels and dropped them off at each hotelㅡㅡ I had to wait for about an hour after arriving at the airport without even eating (The airport is so small that there are no stores or restaurants in the airport) #Ho-kang-se #Hot-place #Hotel-recommendation #Baekdu-san #Baekdu-san-travel

Park Hyatt Changbai Mountain, a mountain resort hotel hidden in the white birch jungle, the tranquil environment will take in the panoramic view of the snow field and the winter scenery of the original mountain forest. The outstanding architectural design combines the essence of high-grade art, exquisite and delicate decoration and facilities. The interior decoration highlights the Chinese style, paying attention to every nuance in a low-key luxury and individual way, providing guests with an elegant private atmosphere. And an extraordinary personal experience.

In Changbai Mountain, there are various hot springs and pools to enjoy, but to make a net red fan, it may not be this family. This network red bubble pool is located in the Park Hyatt Hotel in Changbai Mountain Wanda Resort, from minus 20 degrees to 41 degrees, what kind of feeling is there, can be felt here. The bubble pool is located outdoors, so before entering the pool, you must have the courage to face the temperature of minus 20 degrees. In fact, from the hotel to the bubble pool only 10 seconds to the distance, that is, this short 10 seconds, in order to let This experience of harmony between man and nature is at its best. The moment when the door was opened, it was a snowy scene. The water in the pool was quietly lying in the white world. The temperature of the pool was the same as the latitude of Changbai Mountain, which always maintained 41 degrees Celsius. Between the cold and the heat, the air of the fairyland with empty water and water is formed. The blue of the sky is printed in the pool water. The white and the sly in front of the eyes are looming.

Xianren Valley Forest Park in Baishan: A Northern Secret Hidden in the Changbai Fold As autumn deepens, I drove myself to Toudaoyangcha Village, Shiren Town, Jiangyuan District, Baishan City, Jilin Province, to visit the Xianren Valley Forest Park, known as the "Little Switzerland of Northeast China." It is about 50 kilometers from Baishan city center and served as the filming location for "Human World" and "Glory of the Fathers." The stone forest and alpine grasslands complement each other, creating a serene and magnificent scene. Departing from the city at 7 a.m., it took forty minutes to reach Jiangyuan, then a taxi ride of about ten minutes to the park entrance. Tickets cost 45 yuan, half price for students; the glass walkway is 30 yuan, and feeding deer in the deer park costs 10 yuan per bag. Prepare hiking poles and windproof jackets in advance, as the forest area's temperature is 5-8°C lower than the city. Upon entering the park, first explore the Shiren Mountain Stone Forest. At an altitude of 1,320 meters, the stone peaks have been sculpted by billions of years of wind and rain; some resemble seated immortals, others look like swords drawn from sheaths. Walking along the mottled stone paths, pine needles cover the ground, birds chirp crisply, and sunlight filters through the trees creating a Tyndall effect—every snapshot looks like a masterpiece. Climbing to the stone forest viewing platform offers a panoramic view of the valley sea of clouds, with the distant Lijiadian alpine grassland resembling a huge green carpet dotted with colorful patches. At noon, I rested at a farmhouse restaurant near the park entrance, enjoying a warm kang bed with wild vegetable dumplings and iron pot stew. The fern-filled dumplings were incredibly fresh, and the stew warmed both body and soul. After the meal, I headed straight to the Lijiadian alpine grassland. On the 1,100-meter-high meadow, cattle and sheep strolled leisurely, five-pointed maples began to turn light red, wildflowers dotted the landscape, and scattered wooden houses made it feel like stepping into a fairy tale. The deer in the deer park were gentle and friendly, nodding softly when fed. Taking photos by the wooden bridge created a perfect atmosphere. In the afternoon, I walked the cliffside glass walkway, with a hundred-meter-deep abyss beneath my feet. The wind brushed past my ears, thrilling and exhilarating. Along the way, streams babbled, and white birch trees stood tall and graceful—every photo was wallpaper-worthy. At dusk, the setting sun gilded the stone forest edges, and the light on the grassland softened, making it the golden hour for portraits. Accommodation options include farmhouse inns in the park, costing 100-150 yuan per night, where you can experience authentic Northeast China kang beds; for a romantic stay, book a starry sky tent at 298 yuan per night, where you can clearly see the Milky Way at 3 a.m., but be sure to reserve in advance. ⚠️ Practical Tips 1. Transportation: Self-driving is best. The mountain roads are mostly gravel; sedans can pass but must drive slowly. Public transport goes from Baishan Bus Station to Jiangyuan District, then take a taxi to the park. 2. Clothing: Wear a windbreaker or light down jacket in spring and autumn; temperature differences in the forest are significant. Hiking boots are essential as stone paths can be slippery. 3. Fire Safety: Smoking and open flames are strictly prohibited in the forest. Registration is required before entering, and do not discard fire sources carelessly. 4. Avoid Peak Times: Weekends and holidays are prone to traffic jams; visiting on weekdays or early mornings is recommended. 5. Food: Besides wild vegetable dumplings and iron pot stew, you can try forest frogs (optional) and sticky corn, typical Northeast specialties. When leaving, dusk fell, and the wooden houses on the grassland lit warm lights. Xianren Valley is free from excessive commercial noise, offering only nature’s magnificent craftsmanship and peaceful wilderness charm. Whether hiking the stone forest, daydreaming on the grassland, interacting with deer, or gazing at the starry sky, you can shed fatigue and regain inner peace. If you prefer niche, pristine natural beauty, this secret hidden in the folds of the Changbai Mountains is definitely worth adding to your Northeast China travel list.

In early 2026, the "Exile to Ningguta" tourism project in Northeast China went viral online! This project is not an official fixed event but a creative activity spontaneously imitated by netizens based on TV dramas. Participants dress in ancient costumes and, on the snow-covered land of Northeast China, experience "exile" life in a playful manner, feeling the unique atmosphere of extreme cold and ice. The core highlight lies in the absurd contrast; tourists bring their own "prison uniforms," handcuffs, and other props, trekking and working in the snow as if traveling back to ancient times. Here, you can fully release stress and enjoy a different kind of joy and relaxation. This unique experience has attracted many young people to check in. Come to Northeast China and join this "self-funded exile" creative journey to feel the wonderful collision of ice, snow, and ancient costumes, leaving unforgettable memories!

In December, the most captivating scenery in Jilin is hidden 1,200 meters above at Sifangdingzi. I was fortunate to encounter the alpine rime ice here in winter, and the breathtaking sight still moves me to this day. The rime ice at Sifangdingzi is a masterpiece of nature. The trees in the forest are all dressed in crystalline ice, from the foot of the mountain to the summit, everything is wrapped in a silver-white coat. Strolling through the snowy woods, the rime ice on both sides forms an icy corridor, with ice crystals on the branches sparkling in the sunlight like scattered diamonds. Choose a beautifully shaped rime ice tree, use the blue sky as a backdrop to capture a side silhouette of a person—the contrast between the black coat and the white snow makes facial features stand out more clearly. Climbing higher and looking afar, the endless rime ice forest stretches to the horizon, merging with the sea of clouds, resembling a silver dragon coiled on the land. Looking down at the snow beneath your feet, the shadows of the rime ice stretch long. A close-up shot of the ground and the rime ice’s light and shadow is full of artistic charm. Occasionally, when the wind blows and ice crystals fall, pressing the shutter at that moment captures the dynamic beauty of ice and snow. This is the unique winter romance of Jilin. Friends from all over are welcome to Sifangdingzi to experience the rime ice feast at 1,200 meters high and let the beauty of ice and snow fill your winter memories.

When it comes to popular winter hiking routes, Huapiling definitely ranks high! The route I've been wanting to try for 3 years is finally underway. The sunshine is bright, and the colorful little houses look like a fairy tale. 👟 Route difficulty: 🌟🌟, 8.5 kilometers, total ascent less than 600 meters The main challenge is the slippery downhill; although many people use trekking poles, it still feels somewhat dangerous. 🕐 Hiking duration: 5 hours including meal breaks 📍 Zhangjiakou · Huapiling 🚗 Starting point: Grassland Sky Road Middle Line No. 11 Liang Entrance Ground Parking Lot (Entrance) 🗺️ The entire route is covered with snow on farm roads and alpine meadows; see page 6 for detailed route. Recommended autumn and winter hiking gear 👇 Head: wool hat + sunglasses + face protection Upper body: compression shirt + fleece/down jacket + shell jacket Lower body: compression pants + shell pants/softshell pants Shoes: hiking boots + gaiters + crampons Windproof, anti-slip, and sun protection are especially important!

Names in Northeast China really have something special; they know how to create contrast. The rougher the name, the more stunning the scenery. A beautiful high mountain grassland is called "Old Bald Peak"... [Facepalm] After finishing the Northeast loop and going through the photos at home, I still feel pleasantly surprised. It was worth enduring the bumpy crater-like road at the foot of the mountain 📸(^_^) There's reason to suspect the few people and beautiful scenery are because of road construction 😜 It was probably a forest farm before, and the roads inside the scenic area are quite good. You can watch the scenery at the top of the mountain together with free-range cows and horses. The sea of clouds is said to be stunning, but it depends on the timing. The scenic area has built boardwalks, but walking the entire boardwalk takes several hours. Most people choose the "wild path" shortcut to the summit since the mountain is only a little over 1,000 meters high 😂 My parents, who are over 70, said it was no problem and they enjoyed the scenery [Grin] 🚗 Tips · Only self-driving is allowed; during road construction, it's best to drive a vehicle with higher clearance · Cars can enter the scenic area; the ticket costs 30 yuan, with free admission policies available
