Scenery in Changbai Mountain

Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain

Changbai Mountain is generally acknowledged as the most famous mountain in Northeast China. You will see the beautiful birch forest and Tianchi Lake, the deepest alpine lake in China.

Leaf-like shaped, and slightly elliptical, it is a naturally formed crater lake after the eruption of the volcano, resembling a jasper-colored lotus flower nestled among the 16 peaks of Changbai Mountain.

Due to the changes in the vertical mountain terrain, the mountain shows four types of landscape from the temperate zone to the frigid zone with the increase of height, which is rare in the world. In mid-summer, the green billows roll with mountain breeze across, making it an ideal place to spend hot summer.
