💖 Itinerary
Day1️⃣: Arrive at Changbai Mountain → Check into Erdaobaihe Hotel → Explore Yunding Market

Day2️⃣: North Slope Day Tour
Start early for Changbai Mountain North Slope. Take eco-buses to Tianchi transfer center, then switch to off-road vehicles to reach Heaven Lake. Continue to Changbai Waterfall, Julong Hot Springs (try boiled eggs in hot springs!), Green Deep Pool, and Underground Forest – each showcasing nature's wonders.

Day3️⃣: Snowflake Reindeer Park → Return
Morning visit to Snowflake Reindeer Park for adorable reindeer encounters and perfect photos! Afternoon departure prep.

🌟 Must-See Spots
✅ Heaven Lake (North/West/South Slopes)
👉 North Slope: Best views, multiple attractions, minimal walking with direct shuttle access
👉 West Slope: Full lake view but requires climbing 1400+ steps
👉 South Slope: Only open summer, limited tickets, distant but panoramic views
⭐️ Pro Tip:
North Slope is ideal for families/elderly – easy access, stunning waterfalls/hot springs/forests, plus proximity to high-speed rail. For Heaven Lake views, choose Route B (5-min walk, fewer crowds) over crowded Route A.

✅ Snowflake Reindeer Park: A fairytale setting where kids can feed reindeer and live their storybook dreams.

📌 Smart Tips
1. Pack summer clothes + light jacket (mornings/evenings get chilly). Bring windbreakers for Heaven Lake summit; kids may need thermal leggings.
2. Book tickets 1 week ahead. Check summit openings by 6am daily. Avoid cloudy/rainy/foggy days ❌ – sunny+windy days are ideal 🌞💨
