The attraction is so capricious. I came in November and it was only open one or two days a week at most. It snowed every day in November, and the park closed when it snowed. Strong winds also keep Tianchi (Heavenly Lake) closed. In fact, Tianchi is closed year-round. If you want to see Tianchi, I suggest coming in September or October. The chances of seeing it are much higher then. Luckily, it was open today... but only half open. You could only see two spots; the smaller Tianchi was completely frozen. Not much to see.
5 stars! Changbai Mountain, bringing paradise on earth to life! ✨
As a must-visit sacred mountain in Northeast China, this trip to Changbai Mountain completely overturned my understanding of natural beauty, leaving me speechless with awe! We chose the classic route of the North Slope + West Slope, which allowed us to easily visit the core attractions while unlocking different perspectives of the magnificent Tianchi Lake, making for a truly immersive experience.
The North Slope truly lived up to its reputation, with superb facilities, making it perfect for traveling with my parents! After taking the scenic area bus and transferring to a shuttle bus, experiencing the speed and excitement on the winding mountain road, Tianchi Lake on the main peak suddenly came into view—the azure lake surface, like a precious mirror left behind by God, is embedded among the peaks, pure and without a trace of impurity. All my previous expectations were fulfilled at that moment. After descending the mountain, we visited Changbai Waterfall, where the roar of the water could be heard from afar. The frozen waterfall in winter was even more spectacular. The Julong Hot Spring Group emitted steaming vapors; be sure to try the hot spring-boiled eggs—the egg whites were tender, and the yolks were runny—a unique delicacy of Changbai Mountain. The Green Abyss Pool's waters were crystal clear and turquoise, dotted with waterfalls, reminiscent of "Little Jiuzhaigou." Hiking on the wooden boardwalk in the underground forest, the air was filled with negative ions, making even the air feel sweet.
The experience on the West Slope was completely different. Climbing the 1442 steps was challenging, but reaching the summit was absolutely worth it! The view of Tianchi Lake here was the most expansive and complete, an unobstructed panoramic vista that took our breath away. In summer, wildflowers blanketed the mountains, creating a sea of blossoms; in autumn, the forests were ablaze with vibrant colors—every snapshot was a wallpaper-worthy image. The volcanic lava landforms of the Jinjiang Grand Canyon, with their bizarre rock formations, showcased the wonders of nature.
For transportation, I recommend taking the high-speed train to Changbaishan Station. From there, it's a 20-minute taxi ride to the North Slope entrance – excellent value for money! For accommodation, I chose Erdaobaihe Town, which is convenient for food and drinks. In the evening, you can stroll along the Thousand Paper Crane Street and the Beautiful Pine Park, making it super convenient to visit the scenic area the next day. A small reminder: Tickets and shuttle buses must be booked online in advance, especially for the South Slope where there are limited capacity and tickets need to be booked quickly. Mountain weather is unpredictable, so remember to bring warm clothing, rain gear, and sun protection.
Whether it's the mystery of Tianchi Lake, the grandeur of the waterfalls, the healing power of the hot springs, or the tranquility of the forest, Changbaishan heals all fatigue with its purest scenery. This trip to the "Oriental Alps" was absolutely worthwhile, and I'm already looking forward to coming back next winter for skiing, rime ice viewing, and rafting!

Jingyuetan has a nice environment and is close to the city. Driving an electric scooter is not cost-effective, costing 100 yuan per hour, and a complete loop around the lake takes more than three hours. Riding an electric bicycle is better, as you can return it anytime you visit the various attractions.
Jingyuetan truly lives up to its title as the "green lung of the city," boasting stunning scenery. Cycling or hiking around the lake is incredibly pleasant, the air is fresh, and the forest bathing area is truly relaxing. The scenic area is well-managed, making it an ideal place to escape the hustle and bustle and reconnect with nature. It's quite rare to find a park that charges an entrance fee, especially considering that sightseeing buses and rides are not free!

I went on October 25th, catching the Halloween night activities the weekend before Halloween, and had a lot of fun. I originally planned to write about my experience as soon as I got back, but I got busy and procrastinated, and before I knew it, half a month had passed since Halloween.
Because my trip to Shenyang was short, I only planned to go to Fantawild. I bought a 159 RMB night ticket and entered the park at 3 PM, getting in after about ten minutes.
You can take a free photo at the entrance, and pick it up opposite the visitor center when you leave. Small photos are free, but larger ones cost money.
My original plan was just to explore the park and bring the kids next time, so I started wandering around. However, the park is quite large, with many branching paths, so after strolling around for a while, I downloaded the Fantawild app, which proved very helpful.
I went on several rides, including Light of Life (a giant 3D movie), Liaozhai (a live performance with special effects), Mine Train (a roller coaster), Soaring Over the Horizon (similar to Soaring Over the Horizon), Conch Bay (an animated movie suitable for children), Dinosaur Crisis (an indoor ride-on movie), and Amazing Circus (a haunted house). If I had more time, I'd like to ride Soaring Over the Horizon and Mine Train again, especially the Mine Train, which is perfect for me – a thrill ride! 😁 Most of the haunted houses required wristbands, which was annoying. I didn't have one, so I just bought one, similar to the one at the North Loop.
The Space Shuttle stopped running around 8 PM, and I rushed but missed it because of the 8:30 PM fireworks show. I also skipped Fire Meteor, since I'm not a roller coaster enthusiast; I've already gritted my teeth and ridden Hollywood Dream, Flying Dinosaur, and Decepticon… I'll save the Giant Swing for next time 🤣.
Due to the Halloween activities and it being Saturday, it was quite crowded; most of the rides had a 30-50 minute wait.
I felt the Halloween activities were even more fun than the attractions themselves, with lots of interactive NPCs along the main street. The interactivity was better than Universal Studios Osaka and Hokuroku, offering not only scary NPCs but also funny, cute, and beautifully posed figures that could playfully interact with visitors.
I spent from 3 pm to almost 9 pm there, and Fantawild's fun exceeded my expectations. It seems I'll definitely come back during Halloween or some other pre-holiday event.
The amusement park is truly a fun place! From thrilling roller coasters to relaxing carousels, it offers something for everyone. The staff are friendly and welcoming, always smiling. The park is spotless, with every corner well-maintained. The dining options are plentiful and reasonably priced. Overall, it's a great place for a family outing and highly recommended!

Having visited many lakes in the south, this was my first time visiting a lake in the north, and I was amazed. The water was vast and the blue was crystal clear. Under the sunlight, it shimmered like sparkling pearls, precious and beautiful. The explanations of each scenic spot and story were also very apt. It was a wonderful trip!
The scenic area is excellent, with unique scenery and a large area, suitable for a family trip that can easily last a whole day. If possible, staying overnight within the scenic area will enhance the experience. A very nice scenic spot. Highly recommended.

Yabuli Ski Resort ⛷️🏂 is actually quite cost-effective outside of peak season because they have promotions! (Peak season is a different story... there's nothing you can do about it, for example, when the Ice and Snow World is open, or during Chinese New Year, that's peak season!) For beginners, I still recommend using skis 🎿 (you'll get the hang of it after a few falls) before trying snowboarding 🏂 (you'll fall and tumble, hahaha). Honestly, snowboarding is much harder than skiing ⛷️!
I'm from southern China and had never skied before. When I arrived in Yabuli, I jumped in without hesitation. I rented clothes, shoes, and other equipment, then hired a trainer. After a bit of instruction, I basically got the hang of it, though of course, I did have some falls.
Skiing was truly enjoyable, and the air was clean and pollution-free. I just couldn't stop. Yabuli is also a famous ski resort with all the facilities you need. You can enjoy skiing to your heart's content here!

Superb! The emotional value of seeing the Snow Cracker Monkey from Shanxi was off the charts! Beautiful Changchun, I'll definitely come again next time! The only regret is that I didn't get an autographed photo because I didn't buy the ticket through Douyin.
The night show is a Journey to the West theme park activity, which is very interesting. The actors performed very seriously and professionally. The lighting effects are good. The little animals who persisted in their posts are particularly cute. I recommend everyone to play

It was a great experience. The service was excellent. The attractions were good. I tried the indoor rafting, which was great. The fish spa was nice, with its small fish and water guns. The breakfast at the Suifeng restaurant and the food on the third floor of the hot springs were also very impressive and good.
Thanks to the rafting guy who pulled us out and helped me find my glasses. 🙏🙏🙏. The rafting waves were so thrilling. So much fun. The park is so huge. One day is definitely not enough to explore. The staff are so friendly and attentive. The service is great! No words can express my excitement at this moment❤

It's a typical karst cave, but there's water inside so you can take a boat ride around. You should wear warm clothes when you go. There's a small town nearby where you can eat mutton soup, which is quite good. The accompanying staple food is also delicious, but I don't know what it's called. Transportation isn't very convenient.
Benxi Water Cave is the only AAAAA-rated scenic area in the area. The cave boasts the longest known tourist-friendly underground river, accessible by boat. A leisurely boat trip offers stunning views of the various unique stalactite formations – a natural gift to Benxi.
The park also includes a museum and a petrified wood museum, providing opportunities to learn while enjoying the scenery.
However, the service attitude and skills of the park staff could be improved.
