Features: The Changbai Mountains, stretching over thousands of kilometers, extend across the eastern parts of Jilin, Liaoning, and Heilongjiang provinces. Therefore, "White Mountain" (Changbai Mountain) and "Black Water" (Heilongjiang River) have become synonymous with Northeast China, symbolizing the magnificent landscapes that have nurtured the northern Chinese ethnic groups. The main attractions of Changbai Mountain include:
- Climbing to Heaven Lake on the western slope of Changbai Mountain.
- The surrounding 16 peaks around Heaven Lake, such as Baiyun Peak, Yuzhu Peak, and Xianfu Peak, all reach up to the sky with altitudes exceeding 2,500 meters.
- Tiger Back, with its colorful appearance, resembling a giant Northeast tiger dominating the summit.
- Breathing Slope, where every step makes one gasp for breath.
- Jinjiang Waterfall, with its two tiers cascading down, creating mist as they plunge into the valley, offering a glimpse of a fairyland on earth.
- Tizi River, narrow at the top and widening below, with steep cliffs like knife-sharp edges and deep, cold streams, known as "10,000 Meters of One Line of Sky."
- One Slope, covered in lush grass like a carpet.
- High Mountain Garden, featuring elegant alpine rhododendrons, flawless alpine poppies, and countless exotic flowers, all blooming in competition, making one feel as if in a fairyland.
- Jinxi Spring, Yujiang Spring, and Lanhuo Spring, all shrouded in mystery.
