Complete Two-Day Changbai Mountain Travel Guide

Charging to Changbai Mountain! Posting the guide only now—I really am a chronic procrastinator 😅

🚗 Transportation Tips
For high-speed rail travelers, go for the earliest train from 【Changchun Station → Changbai Mountain Station】!
Enjoy hotel pick-up service right at the station to save time and effort~

🏨 Amazing Hotel Recommendation
Highly recommend 【Chaoman Hotel】🏩
✅ Just a 10-minute walk to the scenic area security checkpoint
✅ Includes high-speed rail shuttle service, absolutely awesome
PS: Same owner as Jiyue Mountain Villa, location is perfect!

⛰️ Full Record of North Slope Exploration
📅 Day 1:
6:30 AM Depart from hotel
7:00 AM Arrive at security checkpoint (download Changbai Mountain health code in advance)
8:30 AM Take the bus to the transfer center
9:30 AM Transfer to a smaller bus to ascend the main peak

👉 Heavenly Lake Check-in Tips:
➡️ Start with Route A for fewer crowds and better views!
➡️ Route B has long lines, so you can take photos of the "Heavenly Lake" monument later
➡️ Don’t miss the souvenir stamp at the service center

1:00 PM Challenge the Warrior Staircase!
The hot spring area stairs are so steep they’ll make you cry 😭 Legs will feel weak after climbing

2:30 PM Visit Green Pool (Lvyuan Pond) √
The lake water is as green as jade, and you can see colorful ornamental fish 🐟

4:00 PM Head to the Valley Bottom Forest 🌲
An 80-minute forest bath, fewer people in the evening, super healing!

🌟🌟🌟 Avoid These:
❌ Skip the Small Heavenly Lake, the scenery is average
❌ If short on time, skip the Mammoth Museum

📅 Day 2:
Sleep in and stroll around Erdaobaihe Town~
🦆 Chinese Merganser Park: See this national treasure waterbird
🌲 Beauty Pine Park: Every snapshot looks like a forest masterpiece
💌 Cultural Recommendations:
Postcards from "Mountain Wild Store" and "Changbai Mountain Letters" are stunning!

🍗 Food Hits and Misses:
❤️ Generations Fried Chicken is finger-licking good
❤️ Beef soup rice in the area warms both heart and stomach
💣 Avoid drinks from Little Lion classmate

⚠️ Practical Tips:
1️⃣ Heavenly Lake temperature is 10℃ lower than the base, bring a jacket
2️⃣ Last scenic area bus leaves at 5:45 PM, watch the time
3️⃣ The themed post office closes at 4:30 PM, get your stamps early

Who else felt so embarrassed seeing the Zhang Qiling statue they wanted to dig their toes into the ground? 🙈
Fans of The Lost Tomb will understand!!

Next time, I’ll come back when the Heavenly Lake thaws~
