Autumn Colors in Fusong: Family Fun and Forest Adventures at the Foot of Changbai Mountain



When the first maple leaf of Changbai Mountain turns red, autumn in Fusong becomes a treasure trove for family trips. In September, this place offers not only the vibrant colors of the forest but also exclusive fun specially prepared for families.

🌿 Must-try Family Experiences

Changbai Mountain Wanda International Resort is definitely the top choice for traveling with kids! On September 22, the G331 self-driving tour departure ceremony takes place, featuring a spectacular convoy of 60 RVs. Head straight to the water park with a constant temperature of 28°C, where slides and electric water guns keep the kids screaming with joy. The 4-visit pass for 199 RMB is a great deal, valid until September 30. Don’t forget to try the world’s longest Luge non-motorized sled—3.2 kilometers of forest track lets the whole family experience speed and excitement.

The Lushui River Hunting Resort hides the secrets of the primeval forest. Ride a stable mineral spring river raft and enjoy picturesque autumn views on both banks, while kids get close to observing wild birds. At the petting zoo, feed rabbits and pet ponies, and the professionally coached disc shooting range is a great way to release energy. Stay in a forest cabin at dusk, fall asleep to the sound of insects, and wake up to birdsong in the morning—this is true nature education.

Xianrenqiao Hot Spring Resort is an excellent choice for relaxation. Soak away fatigue in the ginseng and lingzhi pools while kids have a blast in the colorful slide children’s water play area. The surrounding forest boardwalks are perfect for strolls—holding your child’s hand, listening to the rustling leaves in the wind, and quietly strengthening your parent-child bond in nature.

🍂 Autumn Exclusive Activities

Autumn in Nantianmen Village, Xinglong Township, is full of wild charm. In the morning, identify plants and collect leaves for specimens with your kids; in the afternoon, enjoy the joy of harvesting in the vegetable garden; and in the evening, attend a small insect science class. The most heartwarming is pottery making—watching children turn their imagination into exclusive souvenirs brings a great sense of accomplishment. When night falls, dance around the bonfire with villagers—an experience you won’t find in the city.

🍲 Taste of Fusong

When traveling with kids, be sure to try the iron pot stew at Red Lantern Courtyard. Pork ribs stewed with green beans served with "Little Pig Blanket"—the aroma when you lift the lid is irresistible. Worried your child might not like it? Jushong Hotel’s ginseng chicken soup is light and nutritious, with the sweet flavor of ginseng infused in the broth that kids will love. Don’t forget to try the specialty mantis shrimp tofu soup, with its green and yellow broth so fresh it’ll make your eyebrows raise.

🏡 Top Family Accommodations

Changbai Mountain Wanda Sheraton Resort Hotel offers excellent family facilities, and the Westin’s indoor pool is a favorite among children.
