There are not many people in the West Scenic Area, and there are not many cars in the North Scenic Area. Two attractions, Tianchi and Grand Canyon, are opened on the 1442 steps.

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

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.
