1. Accommodation: The first night we stayed at the Orange Hotel, which is very close to Changbai Mountain High-speed Railway Station and very convenient. The second day we stayed at Changbai Mountain Crown Holiday Hot Spring Hotel, the room is very large, the hotel has natural hot springs and also provides three hours of skiing
2. Clothing: Now going to Changbai Mountain, you must prepare a long thick down jacket otherwise you will really freeze into a dog, shoes must be warm snow boots (preferably non-slip) socks are best thickened, hats gloves earmuffs scarves are essential, masks must also be prepared, masks are best to buy double-layer windproof, sunglasses also bring a pair otherwise the wind blows the eyes hurt, can't open the eyes when taking pictures, warm baby can also bring some
3. Snow Ridge: Our two people chartered a round trip is 300, the ticket is 88, snowmobile 188 per person, sitting up for five or six minutes and can't see anything in the middle, this price is a bit high, not highly recommended. The scenery of Snow Ridge is also very beautiful, you can also feed deer on it, the photos are very out of the picture, we took a horse-drawn sled down the mountain, 120 per person, the scenery along the way is really too beautiful, like being in a white fairy tale world
4. Hot Springs: In order to soak in the hot springs, we chose to stay at the Crown Holiday Hot Springs Hotel for one night haha during the stay you can unlimited times oh. It is divided into indoor and outdoor, outdoor hot springs is really a great experience, the feeling of ice and fire is very comfortable and beautiful for taking pictures
5. Tianchi + Drifting: We set off at 9:30 in the morning, first went to the North Slope Water Color Drifting, the driver told us 120 per ticket (actually can bargain to 100 per person) after the end of the drift we chartered directly to the West Slope Tianchi, set off at eleven o'clock and arrived at twelve fifteen, after arriving we need to take a bus for about an hour and a half up the mountain, then walk on our own more than one thousand four hundred steps to reach the top of the mountain. We started walking at two o'clock, arrived at the top of the mountain at about three o'clock, the wind at the top of the mountain is super big and too cold, stayed for a while and then went down the mountain, when we went down the mountain at three o'clock it was just sunset, the scenery is really too shocking! (The round trip charter from the West Slope is 400)
6. Note: Buy tickets for Tianchi in advance for both the North Scenic Area and the West Scenic Area, if the North Scenic Area is not open, the West Scenic Area may still be open, if you buy tickets temporarily, you may not be able to buy them
7. Cost: Our round-trip airfare is 1400 per person, accommodation for four nights is 1500 per person, tickets for attractions are 730 per person, renting a set of ski clothes is 298, because we are all two people chartering, so the cost will be a bit more, each person is 470, food cost about 660, for a five-day and four-night trip, we each spent a little over five thousand.

We drove there and parked the car in the parking lot outside. You must take the Jingjiao car to enter the scenic spot. It takes 60 minutes to drive to the real door, and then take the scenic Zhongba up the mountain. wasted time. Fortunately, the weather was strong and I saw Tianchi.
Getting ticket as a foreigner is extremely difficult, do get your ticket at least a week in advance. we managed to visit tianchi purely based on sheer luck. weather was insanely frigid (with wind ~-40 degree). do come well dressed or you can rent them near the entrance. journey up is about 1.5 hour from the pick up location
Fortunately, I saw Tianchi this season. The feeling of this season looks very dynamic. The overall feeling of the west slope is better. Some ticket exchange speed is also very fast. Although I feel that I have been taking the car, the overall is still relatively fast. There are also many hotels in front of the west gate.
Looking at many strategies, it is said that the north slope is the earliest development, but the most complete view of Tianchi is the west slope, and the west slope is closest to the airport, so I chose the west slope. More than 1400 steps are actually OK, but when you come down, your knees can't stand it. It's very wasteful. The next day, your legs hurt. If you have the conditions, you still have a trekking pole. Xipo gave me the feeling that I had been waiting for the car to take the car. I didn't expect that there were so many tourists in the peak season. It took an hour to wait for the shuttle bus. It was another hour to take the car up the mountain. The scenic spot opened at 8 o'clock. After two drives to the ladder, it was almost 11 o'clock. Fortunately, the weather is very good, Tianchi can see very clearly. In addition, the Tianchi crater in early September has a huge wind. In addition to the jacket, you can bring a down or grab a down jacket if you are afraid of the cold. The back itinerary is to take the bus and drive down the mountain road to visit other attractions all the way.
We Changbai Mountain west slope to the top of the mountain has been raining this day, because Guangzhou friends come once is not easy, so rain also up the mountain. The wind and rain were heavy. We have been trying to climb. When we reached the peak, our clothes were almost soaked. Tianchi was covered by dense clouds. The wish to see Tianchi was not realized. We gave Tianchi a glass of wine on the big platform and we went down the mountain. I didn’t see Tianchi. Although it’s a bit regrettable, But we were happy.
Last year, although the West Slope was chosen for National Day, there were many people. The bus turned to the minibus and climbed the steps. It was really tired, but the Tiangong was beautiful. I saw Tianchi. It was a worthwhile trip. I went to prepare to challenge the South Slope next time.
