Top 5 Undiscovered Gems in Wudalianchi in April

🌺 Gem 1: Wenbo Underground River

📍Location: West side of Wudalianchi Scenic Area (3 km from Longmen Stone Village)
✨Highlights:

A Song of Ice and Fire: In April, the underground river is not completely thawed, and blue ice floats on the water surface, blending with steam to form the spectacular "ice fog forest".

Volcanic Cold Spring: Step barefoot into the cold spring at -2℃ and experience a natural "ice and fire spa" (requires a guide to enter the unopened area).

🌸 Gem 2: Volcanic Lava Tunnel

📍Location: Undeveloped area southeast of Laoheishan (requires a local to lead the way)
✨Highlights:

Travel Through Time: Hike through a 2 km volcanic lava tube with black basalt covering the cave walls. The beam of a flashlight makes it look like the surface of Mars.

Lava Moss Secret Realm: In early April, the moss turns green, and fluorescent moss flickers in the dark (do not use strong flashlights to avoid disturbing the ecosystem).

🌷 Gem 3: Bailong Cave Tianchi

📍Location: The mountain behind the Beiyaoquan Scenic Area of Wudalianchi (navigate to "Bailong Cave")
✨Highlights:

Underground Karst Cave Spectacle: Drill into a karst cave covered with stalactites, with a natural hot water lake hidden at the bottom of the cave (water temperature is 40℃, instant noodles can be cooked).

Volcanic Poplar Counterattack: The isolated volcanic poplar outside the cave entrance has a twisted trunk but has survived for a hundred years, symbolizing the miracle of life.

🌼 Gem 4: Nange Laqiu Volcano Ranch

📍Location: The summit of Nange Laqiu Volcano (8 km from the scenic area gate)
✨Highlights:

Volcanic Crater Prairie: In April, residual snow dances with wildflowers, and you may encounter the footprints of free-range brown bears (avoid periods when bears are active).

Stargazing Point: There is no light pollution in the crater, and the Milky Way can be seen with the naked eye hanging over the volcanic group at 3 am.

🌸 Gem 5: Yaoquanshan Luming Valley

📍Location: At the foot of Yaoquanshan Mountain (walk 1 km east past Zhongling Temple)
✨Highlights:

Deer Herd Morning Mist: In the early morning, follow an Oroqen guide deep into the valley to get close to wild red deer herds (feeding is prohibited).

Divine Spring Tea: Use volcanic cold spring water to brew local Astragalus to sample "Yaoquan Health Tea" for free.
