Family Trip to Changbai Mountain in Autumn from Guangzhou! Four Days and Three Nights Practical Guide

Changbai Mountain in autumn looks like a fairy tale. Start from Guangzhou with your kids and unlock Tianchi Lake, colorful forests, hot springs, and skiing in four days and three nights. Full of practical tips, save it and go whenever you want～ ❣️Day 01: Guangzhou → Changbai Mountain, First Hot Spring Experience ▪️ Transportation: Take the earliest flight from Baiyun Airport, arrive at Longjia Airport in 5-6 hours (around noon). After dining at the airport, walk to Longjia High-Speed Railway Station and take the high-speed train for over 2 hours to Changbai Mountain Station. ▪️ Accommodation: Contact Blue View Hotel in advance for shuttle service. It’s recommended to stay one night only (the hotel is a bit expensive), including hot springs + ski ticket + breakfast, very cost-effective. ▪️ Family Experience: After checking in, take the kids to soak in the hot springs to relieve travel fatigue and adapt to Changbai Mountain’s climate. Kids can also enjoy playing in the water. ❣️Day 02: Full View Tour of Changbai Mountain North Slope + Skiing Fun ▪️ Changbai Mountain North Slope Tour: Enter the mountain directly from the Blue View Hotel entrance. The front desk will notify at 7:00 AM whether Tianchi Lake is open. Buy tickets in advance on the Changbai Mountain official WeChat account. Ticket price is 225 + 80 for Tianchi main peak = 305 RMB (about 35 RMB refunded within seven working days, actual cost 270 RMB/person). The ticket includes transportation with full shuttle service up and down the mountain, route planned by the scenic area. Visit Tianchi main peak, Green Pool, Small Tianchi, waterfall, and Julong Hot Spring in sequence with your kids. Surrounded by colorful autumn forests, the scenery is stunning. Explain volcanic geology to the kids for an educational and fun experience. ▪️ Heping Ski Resort: After touring Changbai Mountain and dining, take the hotel shuttle to Heping Ski Resort, which closes at 9:30 PM. Let the kids experience the joy of autumn skiing with professional instructor guidance and guaranteed safety. ▪️ Accommodation: Arrange a car with the front desk half an hour in advance and stay in Erdaobaihe Town. ❣️Day 03: Snow Ridge Autumn Adventure ▪️ Transportation: Rent a car from Erdaobaihe Town to Snow Ridge, about 1.5 hours drive. It gets dark around 3-4 PM in the north, so it’s recommended to leave early. ▪️ Snow Ridge Tour: Although there’s no heavy snow in autumn, the mountain forest is dyed with autumn colors, creating magnificent scenery. Hike with the kids to enjoy the autumn views, breathe fresh air, and feel the vastness of northern autumn. You might encounter small animals along the way, which will make the kids very happy. ▪️ Accommodation: Return to Erdaobaihe Town for the night. Hanting Hotel is not recommended (poor floor heating, no hot water for shower). It’s better to choose a family-friendly hotel. ❣️Day 04: Korean Ethnic Style + Return Trip ▪️ Korean Traditional Costume Photo Shoot: Dress the kids in beautiful Korean costumes and take photos against the autumn backdrop to capture wonderful family moments (if not taking photos, you can replace this with the Edelweiss Reindeer Park). ▪️ Edelweiss Reindeer Park (optional): Entrance fee 30 RMB. You can feed deer, see the snowman army, and visit Rose Waterfall. It’s close to the town and high-speed railway station. Interact with reindeer with your kids to cultivate love and care. ▪️ Return: Take the high-speed train from Changbai Mountain Station to Longjia High-Speed Railway Station, then board the flight back to Guangzhou. 🏨 Accommodation Supplement: In Erdaobaihe Town, we recommend Changbai Mountain Wanda Jin Hua Hotel. It has complete family facilities, attentive service, convenient dining nearby, and is suitable for resting with kids.
