Heaven Lake

#celebrateit Perched atop the Changbai Mountain range, straddling the China-North Korea border, lies the ethereal Heaven Lake with a slightly elliptical form. It is a volcanic crater lake formed in the aftermath of eruptions, China's largest and highest volcanic lake, and the world’s deepest highland lake. Surrounded by rugged peaks, the lake's waters are a stunning shade of emerald, providing the headwaters for the Songhua, Tumen, and Yalu Rivers. Visitors can access Heaven Lake from the northern, western, and southern slopes of Changbai Mountain, each offering a unique vantage point of this natural wonder.
