A treasure town on the banks of the Yalu River, standing in two countries with one step, gazing at a thousand years in one glance!

Under Changbai Mountain in Changbai County,
at the foot of Changbai Mountain, this treasure town lies quietly on the border.

Just across the river,
Hwisan, North Korea's third largest city, is within close reach.
Stroll along the Changbai Bridge,
experience the wonder of "one step in two countries";
climb the Lingguang Ancient Tower,
and clearly see the daily life and fireworks of North Korea across the river.
Hidden further is the secret of the southern slope—
when the clouds clear and the mist disperses, a glance from the summit of Heaven Lake reveals a view spanning millennia!

This low-key border town
holds the most unique cross-river charm.

📸 Must-Visit Spots
✅ Changbai Mountain South Slope
The most mysterious southern slope of Changbai Mountain, open only in summer each year, limited to 1,000 visitors per day. The weather is changeable, and Heaven Lake may close at any time, so it’s recommended to rush to the summit early!
✅ Changbai Port
Check in at the national border marker for the ritual of "one step across two countries"! Clearly view the Putian Fort Memorial Tower, street scenes, and daily life of Hwisan, North Korea.
✅ Lingguang Tower
Overlook the China-North Korea border from the Tang Dynasty ancient tower, and observe the daily life of North Korean people across the river through a telescope, full of vibrant local atmosphere.
✅ Millennium Cliff Town
Stay in a Korean ethnic minority homestay, sleep in a century-old kang bed-stove house, and wear hanbok to shoot a "fugitive princess" photo series.
✅ Millennium Cliff Town Cliff Experience
Explore another side of Millennium Cliff Town by walking on the glass plank bridge suspended over the river, overlooking North Korea; step on the suspension bridge over the abyss; swing on the cliff swing facing North Korea; and capture cloud reflections on the sky mirror, making your social media explode.
