Recommended itinerary
丨"Little Korea" Yanji / Feel the exotic atmosphere
Yanji, a culinary gem that has exploded in popularity in recent years, is a border city with a distinct personality. Walking the streets, the ubiquitous bilingual signs and the Korean spoken by passersby make you feel like you're in Korea. Kimchi, rice cakes, gimbap, and hanbok—these elements aren't the elaborate fare of Korean dramas, but rather the authentic, everyday life.
丨Check-in barrage wall/Take a photo of an internet celebrity
Yanji’s internet-famous “landmark” is filled with Korean signs, which give you a shocking impact just like a barrage of comments. This is also one of the reasons why many people are interested in Yanji. You can create Korean-style blockbusters with just any photo you take!

丨Wandering in Changbai Mountain/Colorful Autumn
[Yeshebang VIP Privileges] Arrange VIP through bus tours, no need to transfer to scenic shuttle buses, travel worry-free
Enjoy a leisurely breakfast, soaking up the holiday atmosphere, and depart for the Changbai Mountain North Slope Scenic Area. Our VIP Express (Note 5) will be available throughout your visit, eliminating the need to wait for shuttle buses. First, explore the underground forest, formed by tectonic activity, and the Green Abyss Pond, known as the "Little Jiuzhaigou." Then, visit the Changbai Mountain Waterfall, where, like a dragon pool gushing auspicious snow and a stream sweeping across the sky, you can truly feel the energy of the magma surging beneath the earth's crust. From the vantage point of the plank road, gaze down upon the primeval forest, a vibrant mix of towering red pines and various deciduous trees, ablaze with vibrant colors. On the way up, you'll encounter the classic Changbai Mountain dish, the soft and chewy "hot spring boiled eggs," highly recommended! The vibrant mountains, vibrant autumn leaves, pristine snow-capped mountains, and tranquil Tianchi Lake weave together a magnificent autumn symphony.
丨Clear blue sky and pool water/holy mountain gem
China National Geographic magazine once described Changbai Mountain as "Here, volcanic landforms coexist with glacial relics, hanging gardens and vast jungles blend strength and softness, and majestic beauty blends perfectly." Changbai Mountain, renowned alongside the Five Sacred Mountains, is the highest mountain in Kanto and forms the border between China and North Korea. For safety reasons, VIP buses cannot directly reach Tianchi Lake. Instead, you will arrive at the transfer center within the scenic area, where you can transfer to a bus that takes you to Tianchi Lake, the heart of Changbai Mountain. Tianchi Lake, like a sapphire set high in the mountains, is breathtakingly beautiful. Its jewel-like blue waters, surrounded by sixteen peaks, resemble the moon surrounded by stars. White clouds are reflected in the lake, complementing the blue sky, creating a beautiful scene surrounded by a pool of clear water.

丨Hiking in the Ginseng Forest/Follow the old boss and become a hunter
We'll take you deep into the forests of Changbai Mountain, where vast expanses of forest and peaks rise one after another. Beyond its renowned beauty, Changbai Mountain also offers a precious gift: ginseng. Ginseng harvesting has been practiced in the Changbai Mountain area since the mid-3rd century AD. We'll travel to Fusong County and follow a local headman deep into the dense forests of Changbai Mountain to experience ginseng harvesting (Note 5). We'll hear the headman explain the "free mountain culture" and the detailed process of worshiping the mountain spirit and harvesting ginseng: tying a red string, pressing a copper coin, and using a deer bone needle to gradually peel away the outer layer of soil, slowly extracting the ginseng, thanking nature for this gift. After the experience, each person can take home a piece of ginseng.
