Jilin Changbai Mountain: The Premier Mountain of Northeast China

📍 Day 1: Arrive in Erdao Baihe Town, explore Yunding Night Market!
🚄 Transport: Changchun → Changbai Mountain (2.5h by high-speed rail, super convenient!)
🏠 Accommodation: Stay in 【Erdao Baihe Town】, the base camp for the North Slope, with easy access to food and entertainment~ It's currently off-season, so lodging is very affordable.
🌃 Evening: Head to 【Yunding Night Market】! Amazing atmosphere, a must-visit for "The Lost Tomb" fans, with so many themed souvenirs you'll be spoiled for choice! 📚

📍 Day 2: Hike the North Slope! Focus on Tianchi Lake! (Detailed route + tips included)
⏰ Itinerary: Wake up at 8 AM → Eat 【Changqu Beef Soup Rice】 (energizing! A local favorite) → Enter the park at 9:30 sharp!
🏔️ 【North Slope Route & Personal Experience】
1. Tianchi Main Peak: Take a 1-hour bus from the transfer center → Switch to a minibus up the mountain → Queue to climb and see Tianchi! When we went, the lake was still frozen, and the off-season crowd was light. Walking further in offers more photo spots.
2. Waterfall & Julong Hot Springs: Must-try hot spring eggs! 🥚 10 yuan for 3 eggs—creamy yolks with ultra-tender whites! The 50°C+ spring water is perfect for warming your hands~ The distant waterfall view is spectacular!
3. Green Abyss Pool: Emerald-green lake + small waterfall, a stunning photo spot! 📸
4. Valley Forest: Primeval forest oxygen bar 🌲, 3km round trip. (Honestly, walking a few hundred meters is enough—the scenery becomes repetitive.)
🎒 Essentials: Pack lunch/instant noodles, thermos (hot water refills available on the mountain ♨️), lightweight down jacket/windbreaker (DO NOT rent heavy coats in summer—super cumbersome!)

📍 Day 3: Feed Reindeer + Off to Yanji!
🦌 Morning: Feed reindeer at 【Snowflake Park】!
30 yuan/person includes a basket of moss! 🪴 The reindeer are huge and adorable—they’ll follow you for treats, making it an unforgettable experience! First time seeing such tall reindeer—mind-blowing!
🚗 Afternoon: Take a bus to Yanji!
⏱️ 3-hour ride, 💰45/person. Book tickets in advance via 【Chuxing 365】 or 【365 Intercity Travel】 mini-programs.
