Have you ever thought of taking a trip to Changbai Mountain?

Changbai Mountain Range, the highest mountain system on the eastern edge of the Eurasian continent, runs from northeast to southwest, with most of its altitude over 1000 meters. The main peak is Baiyun Peak, with an altitude of 2691 meters, and the highest peak is Baekdu Mountain, with an altitude of 2749 meters. The regional scope of Changbai Mountain has different meanings in regional geography and practical application. In a narrow sense, Changbai Mountain refers to the main peak of the Changbai Mountain Range, that is, the giant volcanic cone above 1800 meters in altitude; another understanding is that it refers to the Changbai Mountain volcanic area; in a broad sense, Changbai Mountain refers to the Changbai Mountain Range, or the Changbai Mountains, which is the general term for the mountains in the eastern part of Northeast China. Over a period of about 25 million years, the Changbai Mountain region has experienced four volcanic eruptions, which formed the volcanic cone shape and main peak of Changbai Mountain. In each of these four volcanic activities, the volcanic material ejected increased the height of the volcano by more than 200 meters. After that, Changbai Mountain entered a relatively stable period. Between 11,000 and 15,000 years ago (during the Quaternary Holocene), the volcano revived and eventually formed the Heavenly Lake of Changbai Mountain. The terrain of the Changbai Mountain area gradually decreases from southeast to northwest. The southeast part is mainly mid-mountains with an altitude of over 1000 meters, gradually decreasing to low mountains and hills towards the northwest, until reaching plateaus at around 300 meters in altitude. It has a continental monsoon climate. The annual average temperature in the Changbai Mountain area is 2-6°C. The temperature decreases with the increase in latitude and altitude. The Changbai Mountain area has a dense river network, with four major water systems originating from it: the Songhua River, Tumen River, Yalu River, and Suifen River. Changbai Mountain culture is an integral part of Chinese culture, with rich connotations and broad extensions. It has excellent historical remains resources mainly concentrated in abandoned cities and settlement sites, military sites, ancient battlefields, transportation relics, and other major historical remains landscape cultural resources. Changbai Mountain is truly beautiful, just go for it!!! Changbai Mountain Heavenly Lake
