In the autumn sky, avoid the crowds, and you will likely see Tianchi.
September to October is the best time to view the autumn colors of Changbai Mountain, and the understated autumn of the northern country is more beautiful than imagined.
Seize the short 20 days of autumn and head to Changbai Mountain together.

Chapter 01 - The Ultimate Way to Enjoy Autumn in Changbai Mountain
Autumn in Changbai Mountain is the most vibrant and splendid season, with only about three weeks of autumn colors each year. The dormant volcano, which holds 2 billion tons of Tianchi water, is likely to reveal its true form in autumn and winter.
Climb Changbai Mountain, stand quietly by the lake, close your eyes, and feel the heartbeat of the volcano.

Autumn on the Western Slope of Changbai Mountain
The view of Tianchi from the western slope is unparalleled. From the western slope, Tianchi appears vast and bright. Witnessing Tianchi in Changbai Mountain brings good luck for the entire year.
Changbai Mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist for more than 200 days a year, and only less than 30% of people can see its full view. With low rainfall and stable climate in golden autumn, you are likely to see Tianchi.

Gaze at the China-North Korea border from the No. 5 boundary marker, traverse a dense virgin red pine forest, and the Jinjiang Grand Canyon reveals its true form under the veil. A waterfall hidden deep in the mountains roars down, with deafening water sounds.

Autumn on the Northern Slope of Changbai Mountain
The Julong Hot Springs contain infinite earth energy, and the misty waters of Green Abyss Pool are bottomless.
Follow the winding boardwalk into the underground forest, where torrents roar at the bottom of the valley, and fallen trees lie among the rocks.
The deeper you go into the forest, the more you can feel the moist breath of the primeval forest.

From June to October, Tianchi is azure blue, and the rest of the time it is covered with white snow.
Climb to the top above the sea of clouds, overlook the full view of Tianchi, embraced by birch forests and mountains, with blue sky and tree shadows reflected in the lake.
This is also a place where couples pray for blessings, promising to stay together until old age, with the mountains as witnesses.

Chapter 02 - 42 Degrees North Latitude Rivals Canadian Maple

Many tourists have said that although they have seen the autumn colors of Kanas, they are still shocked by the autumn colors of Jilin. From early autumn, the forests at the foot of Changbai Mountain begin to change color. Fiery red maple leaves and golden birch forests form a large colorful forest, like a painter's palette, surrounded by the passionate autumn colors of red maples.

The Dew River maintains a constant temperature of 6-8°C throughout the year, never freezing in any season.
Rafting down the Dew River, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, sometimes suspended, sometimes turning, accidentally bumping into bare rocks, causing a burst of laughter on the boat, shedding the shell of fatigue, and stealing half a day's leisure.

Wooden walls, wooden tiles, wooden chimneys, farmyards made of logs, with red lanterns, corn strings, and chili strings hanging outside. Generations have passed down the craftsmanship of the Manchu ancestors, leaving one in awe.

Chapter 03 - Checking in at the Border Town Without Leaving the Country

Yanji, a border town at the foot of Changbai Mountain.
Bilingual signs are everywhere, with a café every few meters, blending Northeast style with Korean ethnic characteristics.

Tofu, rice sausage, rice cake soup, rice wine, fish cakes. Warming the taste buds and warming the autumn and winter.
In the cool early autumn, bring a few friends, a small drink in one hand, and barbecue in the other, how delightful.

The autumn in Guangdong Village begins with the rice fields.
Childhood swings, seesaws, wrestling fields, sitting on a small train through the rice fields, crossing the golden autumn waves.
The rice fields in Guandong Village, like those in Hayao Miyazaki's comics, are bubbling hot springs, making kimchi, pounding rice cakes, and experiencing Korean cuisine.
