Changbai Mountain!!! You must go

This summer, make sure to come to Changbai Mountain for a date with Heaven Lake! The mysterious Heaven Lake, the breathtaking sunrise and sunset, the stunning snowy mountains and mist—here is a 2-day 1-night travel guide for you to keep🌟

🚩Itinerary
Day 1:
📍Changbai Mountain North Slope Scenic Area
It is recommended to enter the park around 7 AM, take the scenic area shuttle bus directly to the main peak, and head straight to Heaven Lake as the first stop! When the weather is good, the lake water is crystal blue, surrounded by sixteen mountain peaks, and every shot is a masterpiece📷
In the afternoon, visit the waterfall group and underground forest, and finally wait at the viewing platform for a Heaven Lake sunset. The scene of clouds and mist swirling with the sky full of sunset glow is absolutely stunning🌄

Day 2:
📍Heaven Lake Sunrise + West Slope Scenic Area
Arrive at the viewing platform one hour before sunrise. Watching the first ray of sunlight shine on the surface of Heaven Lake is truly healing🌅
Then head to the West Slope Scenic Area, climb 1,442 steps straight to the Heaven Lake viewing platform (if you lack stamina, you can take a stretcher), and also visit the Jinjiang Grand Canyon along the way

🏨Accommodation Recommendation
It is recommended to stay in Erdaobaihe Town, only 20 minutes by car from the North Slope Scenic Area. The Changbai Mountain Hot Spring Hotel is recommended; after playing, soaking in the hot spring is very relaxing♨️

🍜Food Must-Try
Be sure to try authentic Korean cold noodles, spicy kimchi, and hot spring eggs! Recommended "Jindalai Cold Noodle King," located in the center of Erdaobaihe Town

📌Useful Tips
1️⃣The weather at Heaven Lake changes quickly, so bring a windbreaker and rain gear
2️⃣July to August is the best viewing season, but avoid weekends due to crowds
3️⃣Book tickets in advance on the official "Changbai Mountain" WeChat account, as tickets often sell out during peak season
4️⃣Drones require prior approval for flight and filming
5️⃣High altitude means strong UV rays, so sunscreen and sunglasses are essential!
