This super detailed guide to the north slope of Changbai Mountain will help you avoid all the pitfalls. Save it now❗ 🚗Transportation: Changbaishan Station is the nearest train station to the north slope. If there's a direct train, take it. If not, you can transfer at Changchun. Enjoy a steaming bowl of chicken soup with tofu skewers in Changchun before heading to Changbai Mountain. Sounds delicious, right? 🎫Tickets: You can purchase tickets and shuttle bus tickets on the Changbai Mountain mini-program. The full price is CNY 305 (CNY 225 for the entrance ticket + CNY 80 for the shuttle bus). Once purchased, you can travel freely within the scenic area with no additional fees. ❤️Recommended Itinerary: Tianchi Lake → Small Waterfall → Silver Ring Lake (Small Tianchi Lake) → Green Source Pool → Underground Forest. First, take the bus to the mountain transfer point (about 1 hour), then transfer to a smaller bus to the summit (about 16 minutes). The snowy scenery along the way is stunning, like stepping into Frozen. 🏠Accommodation: Highly recommend staying in Erdaobaihe Town. It's close to the North Scenic Area Tourist Distribution Center, and you can enjoy Korean cuisine in the evening. Soybean paste stew, bibimbap... just thinking about it makes my mouth water🤤. ❗Important Notes: (1) Book tickets in advance: The mountain gets crowded during holidays, so it's recommended to book tickets 3 days in advance. If the scenic area is closed on the day of your visit, you can get a free refund before 23:55. Super convenient! (2) Choose your time slot: When buying tickets, select your preferred entry time. Choose the earliest slot, 8:30 - 9:30, for fewer crowds, beautiful scenery, and photo opportunities without queuing. ❤️The north slope of Changbai Mountain has many attractions. The west and south slopes offer wider views of Tianchi Lake. Each slope has its own unique beauty, so choose according to your preferences. This winter, let's go to Changbai Mountain and experience the magic of snow and ice together...
