Remark:

Latitude 41° north passes through Tbilisi, Georgia, Rome, Italy, Barcelona, ​​Spain, and Boston, USA—one ancient civilization after another. However, the truly unspoiled spot along this latitude, a pure land, is the Changbai Mountains on the Sino-Korean border. This region, the birthplace of the Manchu people, is as renowned as the Five Sacred Mountains and the highest mountain in eastern Kanto, rising 2,691 meters. The majestic Tianchi Lake, surrounded by sixteen peaks, reflects white clouds in the azure waters, complementing the deep blue sky, creating a tranquil and clear scene like jade. In autumn, evergreen coniferous forests, layered birch forests, and vibrant tundra create a stairway leading to Tianchi Lake. Nature's vibrant colors paint the landscape in fiery red, gold, crimson purple, and dark green, ushering in the Age of Color.
