I want to go to Changbai Mountain by myself. Do you have any detailed travel guide? It would be best to include all the famous attractions in Changbai Mountain.

1. Basic:

The full name of Changbai Mountain is Changbai Mountain National Nature Reserve. There are four slopes in Changbai Mountain. The quality of the scenery and the development situation are: North Slope, West Slope > South Slope > East Slope (in North Korea). Currently, the North Slope and the West Slope are open. The north slope is close to Erdaobaihe Town, and the west slope is close to Songjianghe Town. The southern slope will also open, usually around mid-to-late June. In 2017, locals said it would open on June 23. Popularize what you found: Erdao Baihe Town = Erdao Town + Baihe Town + field area. This is the division of the area by the Forestry Protection Bureau

2. Transportation:

From 2017, reaching Changbai Mountain is very difficult if you don’t drive by yourself. The transportation is not convenient, and there is no connection between the various scenic spots. First, let’s talk about the way to reach the Changbai Mountain Scenic Area. If your destination is to go directly to the North Slope or the West Slope: North Slope - (Carpooling, Express) - Erdaobai River — (Passenger car) — Antu/Dunhua/Yanji — (High-speed rail is the fastest, regular express is a waste of time) — Changchun Western Slope — (Carpooling) — Songjiang River / Baishan City — (Airplane/Train) — Transfer in big cities.

Carpooling is available between the North Slope and the West Slope. The airport is near Songjianghe Town, and the taxi fare from the airport to Songjianghe Town is about 100 yuan. I settled directly on the north slope because the scenic spots on this slope are better and there is not much difference between the two areas in terms of accommodation. I will explain my route in detail later.

3. Accommodation:

You can stay near the scenic area, including the Jianlin Dad series. The price is slightly higher but the quality is good; there is also a WS YHA, but I didn’t choose it because I saw it on Douban and it was criticized badly. You can live in Erdaobaihe Town, and there are options at any price. I saw a hotel in a certain place, and I thought it was pretty good. You can read the overall reviews. If you have friends who have stayed there, please leave a message to give feedback. You can also stay in Songjianghe Town.

4. Weather forecast:

You can directly search for Changbai Mountain National Nature Reserve and Antu County. It should be noted that Changbai Mountain is a high-altitude area with mountainous temperature differences, and the temperature in the county and on the mountain will be quite different. Therefore, most of the time, the weather forecast is not accurate, and the weather in the Changbai Mountain Scenic Area is relatively changeable.

5. Others:?

Before going, except from June to August, you need to know in advance whether Xiaxi Slope is open. Because there was snow in Changbai Mountain at the end of May and the roads were not fully icy, the park on the west slope was not open for a few days.
