Changbai Mountain North Slope Scenic Area

The Heavenly Lake of Changbai Mountain in July and August is simply amazing😍! With the summer temperature around 20 degrees, it's like a paradise on earth, perfect for escaping the heat👍! It's said that only the lucky ones can catch a glimpse of the Heavenly Lake, as it's often shrouded in mist for over 200 days a year. If you can see it, you're definitely a Lucky Girl😎! I saw the Heavenly Lake on my first visit, haha, I must be the chosen koi🥳! Changbai Mountain has the North Slope, West Slope, and South Slope to choose from. The North Slope is more developed and you can see all the traditional sights there. The West Slope is more ecological, and the view of the Heavenly Lake is more expansive. It seems that fewer people go to the South Slope. I chose the more traditional North Slope on my first visit. 🎈About the attractions: During the summer vacation, it's super crowded, and the attractions have a limit on the number of visitors. Once the limit is reached, ticket sales will stop, so it's strongly recommended to go early. 👉The ticket is 105 yuan, and the shuttle bus is 80 yuan. 🎈About the weather: The weather on Changbai Mountain changes in the blink of an eye! If it's not raining, just a short-sleeved shirt with a light spring/autumn jacket will do. But if it starts to rain, it's a different story; even a light down jacket wouldn't be too much at the summit. However, there are down jackets for rent on the mountain, which I remember cost about 80 yuan each. 🎈About the routes: There are two routes on the North Slope, Route A and Route B. It's recommended to start with Route B, which is less crowded, more scenic, and great for taking photos📷. If you can see the Heavenly Lake after walking Route B, you'll have a pretty comprehensive view. Then you can walk Route A with more confidence. Route A has more attractions than Route B, but they are quite similar, and it's extremely crowded. Personally, I prefer Route B for its tranquility! 🎈About the journey: There are shuttle buses on the North Slope, so the walk isn't too long. But if you get motion sickness easily, be prepared with things like orange peels and motion sickness medicine, because the mountain roads can be quite winding. The altitude of Changbai Mountain is over 2000 meters, and there's hardly any altitude sickness, but some people might feel a bit dizzy. Attention!! Make sure to apply sunscreen! Sunscreen! Sunscreen! The UV rays are super strong! Be prepared if you're going in July or August! You can't use umbrellas on the mountain, so if it rains, bring a raincoat and a thick jacket. 🎈About taking photos: It's recommended to wear light-colored, solid clothing, which goes well with the blue sky and blue water of the Heavenly Lake, making for great photos! Skirts are not recommended❌. Let me tell you a secret, I found an excellent spot for photos👉just below Route A. It's not crowded, and you can sit on the ground, casually stretch out your hand against the pure blue sky, and get amazing shots in minutes, giving you the feeling of being in Tibet. After coming down, there are also some minor attractions like the Changbai Mountain Waterfall, Changbai Mountain Hot Springs, etc., but the Heavenly Lake is still the most stunning and healing!

Visiting Changbai Mountain. I was very lucky that when I reached the summit, the sky was clear and fogless, allowing for a clear view of Heaven Lake. The water was as clear as jade, the sky as blue as silk, grand yet delicate, truly a place one must visit in their lifetime. The birch forest at the mountainside, the grasslands and tundra near the summit, and the bald peaks at the top (which were said to be covered with snow until a month ago), show a clear change in vegetation with altitude. Unfortunately, the car was moving fast, and the mountain roads were dangerous, so there was no chance to take pictures during this part of the journey. The weather on Changbai Mountain is unpredictable, with sudden rain and sunshine. As soon as we descended the mountain, it started to rain. If we had been half an hour later, we might not have been able to enjoy the magnificent view of Heaven Lake so smoothly. Climbing from the base to the summit to see Heaven Lake requires waiting in several long lines, and I mean long lines. Be mentally prepared, as it is much more strenuous than queuing at the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang. Also, the temperature at the summit is low, so be mindful of adding or removing layers of clothing.

The icy wonderland on the unfrozen river is truly a must-visit. The pine trees on both banks are covered with traces of frost and snow, which under the sunlight, appear so crystal clear and translucent. On the northern slope of Changbai Mountain, there are two types of rafting: the Water Color Rafting and the Devil's Realm Rafting. However, both rafting experiences are actually in the same waters, and the scenery doesn't feel much different, with everything shrouded in a vast expanse of white. Remember to keep warm, keep warm, keep warm! Important things must be said three times!

This winter, let us explore the ancient mountain ranges mentioned in 'The Classic of Mountains and Seas', observe the Heavenly Lake, and traverse the forest and snowfields. 🌟Attractions: Hiking through the forest and snowfields at Laolikehu Feeding deer Drifting in the Magic Realm Changbai Mountain North Scenic Area Skiing 📝Tips: ✔️The airport in Jilin is Changchun Longjia Airport, and it takes two hours by high-speed train to reach Yanji City from the airport. ✔️Upon arriving in a new city, it is recommended not to stay out too late, as it gets dark early. Rest early. ✔️Winter clothing suggestions: Thick down jackets, sweaters, shell jackets, fleece-lined thermal underwear, fleece-lined socks, snow boots, gloves, hats, and scarves. 🚉Transportation: It is recommended to join a tour group or find a local pure play group, or to hire a private car for travel.

This winter, Changbai Mountain is really hot, everyone is going to see the snow and ski❤️ If you want to play in Changbai Mountain, you can take a look at this note✔️ Do your homework, so you won't step on the thunder✔️ - The 1️⃣st thing The climbing entrances of Changbai Mountain are divided into "North Slope" and "West Slope" two tickets, the driving time between the two slopes is 2.5 hours🚘🚘🚘 The regular play is to go to the "North Slope", and there are more high-end hotels & ski guests on the "West Slope". Different slopes have different feelings when looking at Tianchi. But Changbai Mountain often does not open the climbing entrance to Tianchi in autumn and winter, it opens according to the weather. There are only a few days in a month in winter that can be opened to Tianchi, it depends on luck. So it is said that only 1/3 of the tourists can see Tianchi😂 I didn't succeed in climbing Tianchi this time, the wind was too strong, and the Tianchi scenic area was not open for more than ten days. If you want to be more stable, you should come in spring, summer and autumn. - The 2️⃣nd thing It is more convenient to stay in "Erdao Baihe Town", there are many choices for eating and drinking. It's best to live near the place where you eat and drink in winter, otherwise it's really too cold, it starts to get dark at four in the afternoon, and there are not many people on the street at five or six. If you are in a high-end hotel, you need to basically estimate the food and drink in the hotel, because the taxi fare to go down the mountain to eat in the town is not cheap. - The 3️⃣rd thing Moworld Drifting→ Indeed, those who drift are all southerners😂 It's pretty good when there is rime, but I can't resist the cold🥶, I just take a few photos on the shore, it's too late to regret if I fall into the boat. Fee: 70💰/person - The 4️⃣th thing Both the north and west slopes of Changbai Mountain have star hotels and ski resorts, and star hotels will include ski resort tickets and free snow gear (snow shoes and snowboards)⛷️ The top luxury hotels are all gathered on the west slope of Changbai Mountain, and ski enthusiasts are also on the west slope, where the ski resort is more beautiful‼️ - The 5️⃣th thing Changbai Mountain has an airport✈️ near the west slope The high-speed rail station of Changbai Mountain🚅 is near the north slope Everyone can choose transportation according to their own funds and travel preferences🚘 Self-driving note⚠️Novices do not try to drive on snowy roads easily in winter🚘 - The 6️⃣th thing Changbai Mountain Snow Velvet Deer Park is near the north slope🦌 You can play and take pictures with the deer at close range✔️You can buy moss for them to eat, about 30💰a pot of moss, eaten in three seconds😂 - In general, Changbai Mountain is a very good place❤️ I didn't see Tianchi this winter, I'm thinking about continuing to rush in summer📷 Go to the west slope in the snow season and soak in the hotel for a ski✔️

Location: Changbai Mountain North Slope Scenic Area Transportation: Direct high-speed train access, with taxis available from the station to the Changbai Mountain ticket office (no more than 30 yuan) Tickets: 225 yuan (105 for the North Slope Scenic Area ticket + 85 for the eco-car ticket + 35 for the shuttle bus from the ticket office to the scenic area) ps: Although the sum of each attraction is a bit expensive, it's truly worth it An additional 80 yuan is required for the main peak of Tianchi First stop: Tianchi (My classmate and I were super lucky; the weather was clear when we arrived, not cold at all, and we saw Tianchi right away! 😁😁😁 However, it's common to rent a cotton coat for 30 yuan at the foot of the mountain or buy a raincoat. I was dressed warmly and didn't rent one, and it didn't rain so I didn't buy a raincoat either ☺️☺️☺️) Second stop: Changbai Mountain Waterfall (The eco-car takes you directly to the designated spot; the Changbai Mountain Waterfall is the only outlet of the mountain, with rapid and clear water flow) Third stop: Small Tianchi (This attraction is just so-so 😂😂😂) Fourth stop: Luyuan Tan (The water is super clear, and the pool is green) Fifth stop: Underground Forest (Personally, I think if you're not in good physical condition, you can skip this one. It's 1350 meters from the entrance of the scenic area to the end, and the forest is rich in species) Finally, take the shuttle bus back to the scenic area ticket office, and that's it 😊😊😊 Many people visit Changbai Mountain inspired by the character Zhang Qiling, or for its beautiful meaning 'Longing for each other until we are old and grey'. In any case, it's a place well worth visiting.

❄The Changbai Mountain in winter is simply the real version of Frozen! The dreamy feeling is just right🤏🏻! The photos look great Below is a detailed no-brainer guide for everyone, seeing is earning!👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 - ❄Precautions: The best time to visit Changbai Mountain is from December to February and March of the following year. If you come too early, there may not be any snow yet, and if you come too late, the heavy snow will close the mountain and you won't be able to get in! So everyone must arrange their time reasonably! - ❄Essential supplies: 1⃣Down jacket/cotton coat/storm coat (whatever keeps you warm!) 2⃣Sunglasses/goggles (the altitude of the mountain top is very high and the ultraviolet rays are very strong, coupled with the reflection of the snow, it may cause dizziness) 3⃣Gloves/anti-slip shoes (the climbing process will be very cold, don't forget to keep your hands warm! The road surface is slippery and may freeze, be careful not to fall!) 4⃣Lipstick/body lotion (the winter in the north is very dry and cold, and the wind on the top of the mountain is strong, be careful of skin cracking!) - ❄Recommended route: 1⃣North slope tour route: North slope mountain gate-Tianchi-Changbai Mountain Waterfall-Xiaotianchi-LvYuanTan-Underground Forest 2⃣West slope tour route: West slope mountain gate-Tianchi-Changbai Mountain Grand Canyon-Alpine Garden-Wangchi 3⃣South slope tour route: South slope mountain gate-Tianchi-Yuehua Twin Waterfall-Yalu River Grand Canyon-Carbonized Forest - 📝Note tips: ✅I recommend everyone to go up the slope from the north gate! Because there are many small attractions along that route that you can check in! ✅If you want to come to see Tianchi, you must ask the hotel or check the weather forecast on the day. It is said that Tianchi is only open for more than a hundred days out of 365 days a year! ✅It is recommended that everyone book tickets🎫 on Changbai Mountain Xiao🍊 in advance. Cost💰: You need to book tickets for the North Scenic Area (student ticket 172.5) and tickets for the main peak of Tianchi in the North Scenic Area (80). ✅Rime is a natural landscape, if the weather is right, it can be seen everywhere! You don't have to specifically go to a certain place to squat! The probability of seeing it early in the morning is greater! - ❄Ice and snow sports 1⃣In addition to Tianchi, Changbai Mountain can also see ice fishing, snowmobiles, snow hot spring rafting, etc., these sports are very interesting! 2⃣Wanda Resort has more ski trails, and Luneng has fewer. Ski suits do not need to be purchased, they can be rented! Beginners skiing is recommended to ask a coach to avoid injury. -

These two days, Changbai Mountain is not very cold, no need to rent those equipment! But those thermal shoe pads are quite good. The climate of Changbai Mountain is like a child's face, it changes when it says it changes, this morning: the main peak of the northern scenic area is windy, the road is snowy, it does not have operating conditions, it is closed all day, other scenic spots are normally open, and they will be closed at any time depending on the weather. My suggestion is that if the Tianchi of Changbai Mountain is not open today, people from the north can take the high-speed rail directly to Yanji, and we will come again the next day, or play around without going up the mountain, friends from the south can come if they are short of time, there is really a lot of snow on the mountain, and friends from the south are having a lot of fun. The hot spring eggs are quite delicious, 10 yuan for three.

🏔️ During the May Day holiday, I chose to visit the north slope of Changbai Mountain. Although it is not the best season for sightseeing, it still has its own unique charm. 🚍 Bus Route: Yanji--Hotel-Changbai Mountain North Slope Scenic Area Tianchi. Take the bus at the tourist distribution center, go through security checks in different time slots, and you can generally enter half an hour in advance. Then take the scenic area bus to the foot of the mountain, followed by a direct bus to Tianchi at the transfer center. 🚶 Walking Route: First take Route B, which has fewer people and is easier to walk, allowing for leisurely photography. Then take Route A to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Tianchi. 💦 Changbai Waterfall, Julong Hot Spring: Take the transfer bus from Tianchi to the Changbai Waterfall scenic area. A few steps up the stairs and you can see the Julong Hot Spring, the kind that really emits steam! Then continue following the signs across the bridge, and climb n steps to reach Changbai Waterfall. 💧 Little Tianchi, Luyuan Tan: Continue from the Changbai Waterfall transfer point by bus to the Little Tianchi and Luyuan Tan scenic area. Although Little Tianchi is also a great spot, we chose to go to Luyuan Tan. The journey to Luyuan Tan is very short, just two or three hundred meters walk from the bus stop, and the scenery is still very pleasant. 🌸 During this special time, although there are fewer people, the scenery is still beautiful and worth visiting. You don't need too much planning and strategy, just follow the signs, slow down, and you will naturally discover the beauty.
