Changbai Mountain 長白山 白頭山


Heavenly Lake
like a jade in the sky.


This is Heaven on Earth!


The frosty giant is situated in northeast China, bordering the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in the south.

The Chinese call it 長白山
The Koreans call it 白頭山

The most beautiful part is the 'tian chi', formed in the crater of changbai mountain.

The attractions of the dormant volcano includes rare animals, marvelous lake, amazing hot spring and forest that stretch to the horizon.

It has four seasons, winter is the longest and the most beautiful one.

don't believe?
see this.



Awesome.
Really awesome.
Beyond description.

most of the hot springs have temperatures over 60'C
with 82'C being the highest.

July and August is raining season.
The best time to visit is September.
It starts snowing in October.

It would be nice if one can stay with Korean families to understand local life.
Anyways, they have hotels there.

Oh and,
beware of changbai lake monster! ;)

I decided to blog about it
after seeing pictures shown by Korean friend
who went there last year.
SO Yeah,
