Things to do in Changbai Mountain

Changbai Mountain, true to its name, is incredibly clean! The restrooms in all areas were spotless, with sensor-activated flushes and hot water for handwashing – a truly touching experience for an autumn/winter trip. The restrooms had different themes, such as sables and black bears, adding a touch of vibrancy. We arrived a little late; most of the leaves had fallen, and it was the dry season, so the waterfalls weren't at their most beautiful. The small Tianchi Lake wasn't worth visiting yet; it's small, the water quality is so-so, and the surrounding forests are bare. Overall, the autumn air was crisp and clear. The 50-kilometer stretch from the distribution center to the transfer center was beautiful, vibrant with color, and Tianchi Lake was stunning. I especially loved the forest at the bottom of the valley; the pine scent was wonderful! I highly recommend walking to the end; there are vast, fairytale-like forests there, and we were lucky enough to encounter foxes and quite a few chipmunks along the way!

This stay was fantastic! The hotel was impeccably clean, the room was bright, and the facilities were complete and well-maintained. The staff were friendly, patient, and responsive to our needs. The environment was quiet, providing a high quality of rest. Excellent value for money, highly recommended!

Peaceful rafting and less crowded. I had a very good experience.

Absolutely stunning, absolutely stunning. I came at night, and it was drizzling outside. ☔️☔️☔️ So happy... The receptionist was very friendly and recommended taking photos. It's definitely a great photo opportunity.

Except for the inconvenient transportation, everything else is good. First, the angle of Tianchi is good, and it is the most complete slope, and you can see all four slopes. Second, the ecological protection is good. Since it was opened the latest, the vegetation is original. Third, the distance is short after getting off the bus, so there is less walking. Fourth, there are attractions such as the double waterfalls and the Yalu River Grand Canyon.

The three-day, two-night stay was very fulfilling. The resort hotel facilities were quite good, nestled against the mountains and beside the water, and quite spacious. Even though Changbai Mountain was closed due to weather, there were still plenty of fun things to do in the resort area. The breakfast was plentiful, cleaning was prompt, and the service was excellent. 👍 A great place to play in the snow in winter and escape the heat in summer.

Besides rafting, the forest also offers swings, deck chairs, and other relaxing facilities. During the National Day holiday, it took an hour to drive in for rafting, but the queue lasted two to three hours. The scenic area only has one road in and out, which is narrow and mixes pedestrians and vehicles, making it difficult to get in or out. They said the forest development permits were difficult to obtain, and the staff had already tried their best to guide visitors and provide shuttle buses to those in distant parking areas; their service was quite good. I really hope they can find a way to optimize the flow of people, expand the parking lot in front of the scenic area, or consider implementing a one-way system like the one in the valley. There are also tent hotels inside.

In this beautiful scenic area, you can choose to hike or cycle 🚴🏻‍♀️, watch the sunrise in the morning and the sunset in the evening, relax in the natural oxygen bar, and immerse yourself in the embrace of the mountains to let yourself go.

Staying at the Crowne Plaza Hotel allows you to enjoy the hot springs downstairs, with unlimited access every day. The natural hot springs are excellent. Special thanks to Wang Rongmei, the staff member, for their attentive and warm service. This trip was very pleasant and highly recommended. I would love to come back again next time.

It was breathtaking! My trip to Changbai Mountain this National Day holiday was definitely worthwhile. The moment I saw the entire Tianchi Lake, I felt like I'd have a year full of good luck. The景区 staff were also very friendly and responsible, helping us with our ticket booking.
