5 Days Changbaishan Winter Tour

After breakfast, your guide and driver will take you to explore the magnificent Changbai Mountain North Slope, one of the most beautiful areas of the mountain. Changbai Mountain is a dormant volcano famous for its snow-covered peaks, primitive forests, volcanic landscapes, waterfalls, lakes, and hot springs.

Take a sightseeing bus and scenic vehicle directly to Heavenly Lake (Tianchi), located at an altitude of approximately 2,189 meters. Recognized as the highest volcanic lake in the world, Heavenly Lake is surrounded by 16 mountain peaks and looks like a blue jade surrounded by snow-covered mountains. On clear winter days, the combination of white snow, blue sky, and volcanic peaks creates an unforgettable panoramic view.

Continue downhill to visit Changbai Waterfall, where water flowing from Heavenly Lake drops approximately 68 meters, creating one of the world’s longest volcanic waterfalls. In winter, the frozen waterfall and surrounding snow scenery create a spectacular natural scene.

Next, explore Small Heavenly Lake, hidden inside a primitive birch forest, where visitors can enjoy peaceful walking trails along the river. Continue to Green Deep Pool, often called the “Little Jiuzhai Valley of Northeast China,” featuring emerald-colored water, small waterfalls, and beautiful forest scenery.

The final stop is Valley Forest, a deep volcanic valley formed after ancient eruptions. With towering trees, huge volcanic rocks, and fresh mountain air, it feels like a natural oxygen bar.

After sightseeing, return to Erdao Baihe Town and enjoy a relaxing hot spring experience to warm your body after exploring the snowy mountain.

Start the day with a visit to Mojie Scenic Area, one of the most mysterious winter landscapes around Changbai Mountain. The name “Mojie” means “demon world,” inspired by its unique scenery of a never-frozen river covered with mist, snow-covered forests, dead tree trunks, and beautiful rime ice hanging from branches.

The river remains unfrozen because it is formed by warm hot spring water from Changbai Mountain, creating a magical contrast between steaming water and frozen winter forests. Enjoy an unforgettable winter rafting experience as you float through this mysterious snow-covered landscape.

Continue to Naitoushan Village, known as one of the most representative villages around Changbai Mountain, for traditional Northeast China winter activities.
