In addition, you can enjoy many natural beauties such as the Changbai Waterfall on the mountain, the Alpine Garden, the Jinjiang Grand Canyon, the forest at the bottom of the valley, and the alpine hot springs.
Changbai Mountain is a dormant volcano. The Tianchi Lake located at the top of the main peak volcanic cone is the largest crater lake in my country and the highest volcanic lake in the world. Standing on the top of the mountain with an altitude of more than 2400 meters, you can see the mountains in the distance, overlook the clear and pure Tianchi like a jewel under the blue sky, and feel the fairyland in reality.
