Changbai Mountain Travel Guide in Winter

One of the most beautiful mountains of China

By brucepangzhenPublished 3 years ago 5 min read

I heard that here is the most beautiful winter in China. The deep blue night sky, the bright moonlight, the snow-covered land, and the snow scene at night are incredible. Obviously it is a cold winter, but it gives people a wonderful sense of warmth. Find a time, come to Changbai Mountain to watch the snow.

The tourist facilities on the north slope of Changbai Mountain are complete, and the accommodation conditions are good. You can reach the side of Tianchi, as well as Changbai Mountain waterfalls, underground forests, and hot springs. However, many of the original landscapes are not so well preserved, and the whole view of Tianchi cannot be seen. However, there is a demon route that is very suitable for photography. The Tomb Raider's Note seems to be here.

On the west slope of Changbai Mountain there are Guanchi, Jinjiang Grand Canyon, Alpine Garden, Changbai Mountain Ski Resort, Tiger Back.

The southern slope of Changbai Mountain is often overlooked because the traffic here is too inconvenient, but the landscape here is the most primitive. You can also take a bus directly to the top of the mountain, and you can see Tianchi without getting off the bus. It is often the best choice for self-driving tours and travel companions. All the way along the Yalu River, the scenery is also very good. In addition, Shifudaogou along the southern slope is definitely a must-visit place for Changbai Mountain travel. This place is often the biggest surprise for those who have traveled to Changbai Mountain.

Generally speaking, if you want to climb less, you can walk from the north slope to the convenient point. You can go up the mountain directly by a snowmobile. By the way, you can also see waterfalls, underground forests, and beauty pine.

If you want to experience hundreds of stairs, climb to the top step by step, and see the whole view of Tianchi, you can walk westward, and you can also see the Grand Canyon. The landscape on the mountain is amazing when the spot is in full bloom in autumn.

If you want to see the most pristine and exciting natural scenery, experience the forest sea snowfield, trek through the snow, and see the living conditions of the locals, don't miss the southern slope.

Although Tianchi is just a pool of clear water on the top of the mountain, it seems to have infinite magic power, attracting visitors from all over the world. The legend about the water monster in Tianchi is the most widely spread among the people, but no one knows what the water monster looks like. Locals say that the water in Tianchi is freezing to the bones, even in summer. Zhang Jian, a swimmer who has crossed multiple waters, had to challenge across Tianchi, but ultimately failed due to the low water temperature. It is also because the operation is too difficult, and the depth of the Tianchi is still unknown.

Changbai Mountain Tianchi is a very characterful attraction. You must communicate well with local tour guides. After all, they have lived here for decades, and you can know the weather better than you. Generally speaking, it is snowy and foggy, and you can't see Tianchi. You can only see the peaks when you go.

Going up to Tianchi from the north slope is a little easier and can be a very exciting off-road vehicle. There are thousands of steps to climb from the West Slope. If you have poor physical strength, don’t do it. The South Slope has already said that you must have a local guide who is familiar with the road conditions to take you up. If you are lucky, you can watch the sunrise.

Changbai Mountain is super invincible cold, really super invincible cold. When you can exercise, you can wear as much as you can. There is also the wind. The local guide who carried me said that the peak Tianchi is full of eight-level winds for more than 200 days a year... What he said is exaggerated, but the wind is strong and biting, and it’s hard to wear it. minute. If you use your mobile phone to take pictures, please warm your mobile phone to your chest in advance, otherwise the mobile phone will shut down quickly when the temperature is low. When I go hiking, I wear disposable warm patches, which can continue to heat up for 8 hours, which not only warms myself but also prevents the phone from shutting down at low temperatures.

The necessary equipment and supplies for climbing Changbai Mountain are:

Clothes: quick-drying pants, sweaters, down jackets, plus jackets on the outside; pants are fleece jackets.

Shoes: It is strongly recommended that waterproof high-top hiking shoes, the most important anti-skid type that is both waterproof and warm; conditionally match a pair of thick hiking socks;

Other small equipment: self-heating body warmers, snow covers, hats, large masks, eyes, earmuffs, waterproof gloves, purpose: all exposed to the outside should be wrapped!

For gloves, it is recommended to buy the kind with a touch on the finger, so that the gloves can be taken directly without taking them off;

In addition: remember to keep your phone and camera warm, and bring batteries for your back. At low temperatures, the battery consumes a lot of power. When I went before, my friend posted a warm baby on the phone, otherwise it would be easy to crash.

Bring some high-calorie foods: Chocolate beef jerky to add energy!

Please pay attention to girls, moisturize as well as keep warm! Although the room is warm as spring, no matter how cold it is outside, it is very comfortable to return to the room, but the biggest side effect of the ice and snow weather is dryness! There will be static electricity everywhere.

It is estimated that everyone has experience with moisturizers, so I won’t say more. I just want to remind sisters to be careful. The moisturized skin must be covered with sunscreen or foundation cream and other isolation textures, and be careful of frostbite.

The most important thing is to bring your good mood and eyes to appreciate beauty. The beauty of Changbai Mountain is shocking. After Comrade Deng Xiaoping who had seen the world climbed to Changbai Mountain, he said: "It is a pity that you can't live on Changbai Mountain. "Climbing is also considered a wish. There are many historical legends in Changbai Mountain, and there are many undeveloped forest routes that outsiders don't know. You can ask a tour guide to explain and watch it more.
