🍁Changbai Mountain Autumn Fairy Tale Journey｜Avoid the Crowds and Encounter the Most Beautiful Tianchi!

Who says Changbai Mountain is only worth visiting in winter or summer? Autumn at Changbai Mountain is the hidden treasure you can't miss all year round! 🍂 The colorful forests covering the mountains look like God's spilled palette, with scenic views all along the way—no need to squeeze into crowded spots. Even better, there are fewer tourists now, greatly increasing your chances of seeing the full view of Tianchi!

📅 Best Time to Enjoy Autumn Colors
📍 Mid-September to Late October
📍 Recommended viewpoints: North Slope and West Slope Tianchi perspectives are better ————

🌲 Practical Tips for Autumn Viewing
1️⃣ Changbai Mountain has a large altitude difference; when the autumn colors are at their peak on the summit, the foothills may still be lush green. It’s recommended to bring enough clothing and dress in layers.
2️⃣ Tianchi is covered by clouds and mist about 70% of the year, but autumn has more clear days, making it easier to see its true beauty️.
3️⃣ For forest hiking, wear non-slip shoes, carry a light backpack, and bring some energy snacks and water.
4️⃣ UV rays are strong, so remember to use sunscreen; the forest weather is changeable, so bring rain gear.
