Changbai Mountain is the most sacred mountain in Northeast China, and it is also an active volcano. It has a very spectacular natural landscape and humanistic significance. The ecological system here is well protected, and there are many rare species of animals and plants. It is a living genetic treasure house and an excellent tourist destination.

The Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain is famous far and wide. It is located in Changbai City and Yanji City in Northeast Jilin Province. The spectacular Tianchi Lake is really shocking. It is said that you can only see it for 6 or 71 days in a year. Usually, you need to know and control the local weather when you go, so that you can be prepared. Sometimes you will meet the situation that the mountain is closed by heavy snow, so you will never see Tianchi Lake. Travel itinerary of Changbai Mountain

Day 1: Changchun-Yanji. It takes more than two hours to get a train ticket, with a ticket price of RMB 115. At noon, we arrive at Yanji Station, and use Didi taxi for more than RMB 21 to reach our hotel. Yanji City is not big, and all places are not far away. It is very convenient to take a taxi outside, and the starting price is 5 yuan.

the next day: Yanji-Erdaobaihe. The four of us chartered a car to go, which was booked on the Flying Pig the night before. Each of us, 81 yuan, sent it directly to the hotel door. We must get up early. We set off at seven o'clock and arrived at Erdaobaihe in just three hours. Considering other bus and bullet train routes, I think the chartered car is the most cost-effective and saves a lot of trouble. If you want to go to the west slope of Changbai Mountain, you can fly to Changbai Mountain Airport, which is very close to the west slope. The ticket is 11.

Erdaobaihe-the mountain gate on the northern slope of Changbai Mountain, the local driver contacted by the hotel, and everyone goes back and forth in 31 yuan. If you are going to the west slope of Changbai Mountain, it will be a round trip for everyone in 81 yuan.

Day 3: Return trip, Erdaobaihe-dunhua station. For the chartered car contacted by the hotel, it takes 2 hours for each person in 51 yuan (as well as Antu Station), or you can take a bus to 38 yuan (2-3 hours), so you can choose it yourself.

Because there is no direct train to Changbai Mountain, the train can only go to dunhua station or Antu Station. Travel guide of Changbai Mountain

Yanji:

There is nothing interesting, just go and eat the delicious food there. You can go to Tumen, the border between China and North Korea, and take a train for 15 minutes (12 yuan), and then take a taxi there.

We just walked around the campus of Yanbian University, and many people wearing Korean costumes were taking pictures, which can be rented. There is a Longmate supermarket opposite Yanda, which sells some Korean drinks and foods.

North slope of Changbai Mountain:

Buy tickets on WeChat official account one day in advance, don't buy them on other software, just swipe your ID card the next day. What you buy online is: tickets+bus tickets (tickets 115 yuan+tickets for 85 yuan), student tickets are only half-price tickets (52.5 yuan +85 yuan), and then you have to buy tickets for Tianchi when you get halfway up the mountain by car: 81 yuan, if you don't.

when you see Tianchi, there are lines A and B.

There are many people in line A, but you can stand at the highest peak to see Tianchi.

Line B can be seen directly without queuing, but the view is not very good. There is a boundary pillar of Tianchi on Line B.. We went to see Tianchi from the A line, and when we came down, we turned to the B line to take a photo with the boundary pillar.

After seeing Tianchi, you can take a bus to Changbai Mountain Waterfall, Xiaotianchi, Lvyuantan and underground forest. The scenery of Changbai Mountain Waterfall is quite good. There are three boiled eggs in the hot spring, which are very delicious. You must buy them. Xiaotianchi is just a small pool, and there is nothing. Because I was disappointed after seeing Xiaotianchi, I didn't go to Lvyuantan again, but I went to see my classmate, Lvyuan. Recommended tourist food in Changbai Mountain

Yanji City:

1. Barbecue in Dapaiwu: When we went, there were few people. Four people ordered a set meal from his family, two egg cakes and shochu. The food is quite supportive, and the spicy cabbage baked by his family is also delicious. Overall, the price is not expensive, and the roasted pork belly is also good.

2. Grandma Yuan's meal: I passed by his house at noon, but there were so many people waiting in line that I didn't go in. At 9 o'clock in the evening, there were not many people. I ordered the roast beef set meal (I didn't order the white meat, which is said to be terrible), stewed chicken soup (the soup was quite light, and my stomach was stuffed with sticky rice), miso soup (the same as drinking in other places), and hot chicken feet (a little spicy and soft) Overall: the price is moderate, not as delicious as online, and the service attitude is not very good.

3. Rice wine: It's delicious, just sour and fermented, with strawberry, blueberry and corn flavors.

4. Braised pork cake with plum vegetables: There is a long queue in the snack street opposite Yanbian University, and one is 6 yuan, which is quite sweet. If you eat the whole one, you will be too tired.

Changbai Mountain (Erdaobaihe Town):

5. Xiaohuangniu Soup Restaurant: Korean-style. I ordered a Mei Tuan set meal of 118 yuan, which I personally think is not bad. I also ordered some other dishes, which are quite ordinary. I don't recommend him very much. If you want to eat rock barbecue or something, you can go to another street. A guide to travel and accommodation in Changbai Mountain

Hotels in Yanji are not recommended, perhaps because of the National Day, the price is quite expensive and the environment is not very good. However, it's quite close to Grandma Yuan's three-minute walk, and there are quite a lot of food nearby, such as cabins and so on. I suggest living near Yanbian University.

We stayed in Baihe Town, Erdao on that night in Changbai Mountain. 121 yuan a night was not bad, because the house price rose sharply on National Day. When we arrived, the proprietress upgraded a big room for us. The room was clean and tidy, but her water heater was not very good. You can't take a bath for more than 31 minutes, otherwise the water won't be hot, but it will be fine if it heats up for a while. If you want to soak in a hot spring, it is also very cost-effective. Notes on Changbai Mountain Tourism

We brought our own cotton-padded jacket. It was already cold in the morning and evening during the National Day, and the wind at the peak of Tianchi was particularly strong. If we go in winter, we have to rent masks, hats and sunglasses. We can also rent one from cotton-padded jacket at the foot of the mountain, which should be 31 yuan. We can rent it for one day and then return it.
