I plan to go on a self-guided trip to Changbai Mountain in December or January. Is winter suitable for self-guided tours? Is the transportation convenient after arriving at the scenic spot?

You can go, but you need to be well prepared against the cold. Long down jacket, scarf, hat, gloves and cotton shoes (preferably high-tops) are indispensable. Before departure, you can search on Baidu for some places in the Changbai Mountain area. According to the weather forecast for the day, you can go up the mountain when the weather is fine. If it is cloudy and snowy, you will not be able to reach the top and there will be nothing to see.

There are not many eating shops on the mountain, and the ones that are there are relatively expensive. When you go up the mountain, you can bring some chocolate, beef jerky, etc. at the bottom of the mountain. Remember to recycle the garbage and don’t throw it away~

The hot spring in front of the waterfall sells boiled eggs, corn, and ham sausages, and you can also try them. There are also hot coffee and other drinks for sale at the rest points, which are quite expensive.

Be sure to wear sunglasses or snow goggles. There is a lot of snow in the mountains, and it is very dazzling when the sun is bright. It is very inconvenient not to wear glasses. You can’t see clearly and hurt your eyes. It may be short-lived after a long time. Snow blindness.

If you are not going for an in-depth tour, you can finish it in one day. There are some scenic spots that you can skip in this season. If you have enough time, I recommend the hot springs on the north slope. You can soak in the hot springs in the open air and look at the scenery opposite. It's a snowy mountain peak, but it's quite pleasant. You can arrange it at the end of your itinerary. After climbing the mountain, you can take a dip and then go back to the hotel to rest. You should have a good sleep. If you soak in the hot springs first, you will be very tired, you will not have the energy to climb the mountain, and you will be wet and uncomfortable.

The road conditions on the Antu side are not very clear. If the road is being repaired, the work should be suspended in this weather. It often snows heavily in winter, so it is not recommended to travel long distances by car. Try taking the train, which may be slower, but safer. You can go from Harbin to Changchun to Baihe, and Baihe is the northern slope. This train line should be relatively convenient. Baihe is the terminal station. You can choose the night train and sleep all the way to Baihe. I need to remind the poster that the Changchun-Baihe train is the oldest green train. The smell of coal smoke on the train is relatively strong, and the conditions of the sleeper berths are not very good. You should be mentally prepared~ But if If you think about it from another angle, the green leather car is almost disappearing. Just think of it as a feeling before it disappears. Maybe you will feel better about it.

If you want to stay, there are better hotels on the mountain. There are also hotels at the foot of the mountain. The prices are relatively high. There are also many small shops at the foot of the mountain. You can take a look. You can also search online before departure and contact one. In winter It's the off-season, so the prices should be relatively reasonable. Small shops seem to be able to bargain, so you can give it a try. In addition, it seems that you can ski now, but I don’t know the specific situation of skiing for the time being. You can ask me by the way when you stay in Baidu. Many shop owners will also do tours, providing pick-up and drop-off vehicles and advice.

The Baidu keyword "Changbai Mountain Tourism" should be enough. In addition, you can also go to self-guided travel websites such as "Youduoduo" and "Mafengwo" to find relevant strategies. It will not be complicated.

In addition, the roads are slippery in the snow. Pay attention to safety during the journey, especially in the mountains. Follow the designated routes in the scenic spots and do not try to "find another way" on your own. The risk factor is very high. On the road, safety comes first, and only when you are safe will you be happy.
