Present situation of tourism on the west slope of Changbai Mountain

Walking into the western slope of Changbai Mountain, as soon as you set foot on the open alpine garden and look at the main peak of Changbai Mountain, you will immediately see that the giant Buddha lying peacefully in the sky, with an extremely heavy and comfortable expression, is admirable. The nature of nature is amazing. People who believe in nature often pay tribute to the embodiment of wisdom. Facing the quiet nature, human beings will also become peaceful. Gaoshan garden

The tundra of Changbai Mountain is not a desolate desert. It is a magical "hanging garden" and the only treasure house of primitive alpine vegetation in Northeast Asia. More than 70 kinds of frozen plants have been found in/kloc-0. There are no four seasons in the alpine tundra of Changbai Mountain, and permafrost is below the surface. There are 300 windy days in 365 days a year; There are 12 months in a year, and 9 months are covered with snow and ice. The plants here are amazing. During the frost-free period in July and August every year, they germinate, blossom and seed at an extremely fast speed, and then go into dormancy. These two months, from the hillside at an altitude of 2000 meters to the head of Changbai Mountain, it seems to be magic. The whole mountain was covered with a thick carpet, and countless exotic flowers and grasses competed for each other. When people come here, they will have a feeling of coming to heaven and enjoying the hanging gardens. This magical flower season is most obvious on the western slope of Changbai Mountain. Because of the sun, spring comes earlier on the west slope than on the north slope. At the end of June and the beginning of July every year, flowers bloom in the highlands on the western slope of Changbai Mountain, and the number and area of flowers are amazing. Because it is inaccessible and the scenery is excellent, people think it is a place where immortals move, so it is called a garden in the sky and a place where angels walk.

Besides flowers, there are many insects, butterflies, bees and other small animals in the alpine garden. Someone has seen wild sika deer here, and also caught a very precious and rare extreme northern adder! Wang Chi

Wang Chi is located on the west slope of Changbai Mountain, with its back against Jade Snow Peak and facing Jinjiang, and working hand in hand with the magical and beautiful alpine garden. The elevation of the pool surface is 1850m, with a diameter of 200m and an area of about 2000m2. There is another story about Wang Chi. According to legend, Nurhachi, a young Han Chinese, fell ill while digging ginseng in Changbai Mountain. It was only after drinking this pool of water that he was cured and survived. Nurhachi didn't forget the help of the pool water. When he became a great instrument and unified the north, he returned to his hometown of Changbai Mountain and visited the pool water. Nurhachi said: "The people call me the old man king, and I should also call this life-saving pool king!" "The water quality in Wang Chi is very clean, and Chi Pan is covered with sand grass-grass and cattail, accompanied by beautiful birch and Chinese pine. There are small fish in the pond and many frogs and birds in the forest. On the clear lake, frogs and birds often sing. Wang Chi is blue-green, clean as a precious mirror, reflecting the clouds in the sky and the trees on the shore. It's so beautiful here, no wonder there are always groups of dragonflies flying on the lake.

gentle slope

Panting slope is the landscape of the western slope of Changbai Mountain, which used to be the only place for hiking and watching Tianchi Lake. Because the hillside is steep and steep, and there is no flat place in the middle, tourists have to keep climbing. In addition, there are many trees and the view is not wide, which makes people breathless. This climbing road is therefore called a breathless slope.

The beauty of breathing slope lies in participation. If you don't climb the breathless slope, you won't feel the excitement of getting close to the mountains. Only by climbing the panting slope can you feel the joy after fatigue. Perhaps nature knows human thinking very well, and if it wants to witness the wonders of Tianchi Lake, it must first taste the pain of climbing. After suffering, there is a flat and open place for people to rest. Then, it is a new and more difficult road, waiting for people to climb. What's behind the panting slope? A "tiger"! Yuanyangdi

Yuanyang land is a strange landscape of Changbai Mountain and a mystery of nature. On the gentle slope, you can often see two approximate circular grasslands connected together, but the colors are not the same, sometimes very different. This kind of biological strange circle is found in Changbai Mountain and the northern prairie. So far, scientists can't tell why the grass grows into circles and the color difference between adjacent circles is so great. It is said that delicious mushrooms will grow along the grass circle. Experienced mountain people often pick mushrooms along the grass circle. People in Changbai Mountain call this round grassland with different colors Yuanyang Land. First, it shows that the two circles are different. Second, it shows that the two circles are inseparable. It's a good name. For tourists who like to explore nature, it is essential to have a look at Yuanyang Land. Tizihe

There is a "ladder river" in Changbai Mountain, and you can imagine its unusual from this strange name alone. Visitors to Changbai Mountain will be interested in seeing its wonders when they arrive at Tizi River.

Stepped river is a deep valley formed by the river crossing a narrow cliff. Because it is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, it is similar to a ladder used by the people, so it is named "ladder river". There are two places in Changbai Mountain: one is in Antu County on the northern slope, and the other is in the upper reaches of Erdaobai River not far from Changbai Waterfall, but it is relatively short. The most famous one is located in Fusong County, Xipo, close to the Victoria-East Border Workstation, and forms two stepped rivers with the Songhua River tributaries, South Jinjiang and North Jinjiang, each of which is more than ten kilometers long. The ladder river is unique. Let's say it's a river on the ground, but it's hidden deep underground, and it's hard to see the river clearly just by rumbling. It is said that this is an underground river, but when you bend down to visit through the thatched grass, the rushing water is clearly visible. In order to facilitate the passage of vehicles, people built a "bridge" on both sides of the ladder river with logs. This one-to-two-meter-long bridge may be the shortest bridge in the world. In fact, most places can cross the river in one step, and the widest point is only three meters. Although the ladder river is narrow, it is deep, with an average depth of more than ten meters and the deepest point of more than thirty meters. Standing on the bridge or by the river, if you look carefully, you will see that the valley stands upright and narrow, with moss on both sides and slippery. At the bottom of the valley, the river twists and turns like a daisy, sometimes it doesn't. Standing by the river, I only feel a chill refreshing, coupled with the turbulence of the cliff, which is frightening. Throwing a stone, it took a while to hear the echo.

The ladder river also has a name called "prey river", which is named because people often find animal carcasses in the river. Because the ladder river is covered with fallen trees and rattan Artemisia, it is extremely difficult to see if it is not carefully distinguished. Therefore, wild animals living in Changbai Mountain, such as black bears, wild deer, roe deer, rabbits and so on. It is easy to fall into the river and die when migrating.

The biggest feature of this river is that no matter when picking up animals, it is guaranteed not to rot and it is very fresh. Because Tiezi River is located in the frigid zone, it doesn't thaw until the end of June every year, so the thawing period of this river is only over three months, and the water temperature is very low, and the highest temperature is only three or four degrees Celsius. The border guards stationed near the Tiezi River regard it as a "natural refrigerator", and keep the fish, meat and fresh vegetables on the mountain in the river, which is both antiseptic and fresh. Yuanyangchi

Yuanyang Pool is located in the deep forest on the west slope of Changbai Mountain. There are two versions about the origin of the name Yuanyangchi. One is that it is a paradise for wild birds. There are always flocks of waterfowl living in it in spring, summer and autumn, especially many mandarin ducks. First, there are two similar pools connected in pairs, inseparable, similar to Yuanyang, hence the name. In fact, it is correct to combine the two reasons into one. Yuanyang pond is really a combination of two small lakes. At the same time, there are indeed many waterfowl in the lake.

Yuanyangchi is a lake formed after volcanic eruption. The lake is crystal clear, because it is far away from the world and has no pollution. It is a rare paradise for waterfowl.

In autumn, the forests in Chi Pan are full of red leaves and picturesque. Birds gather to fly south, and birds sing on the lake. This gathering of nature is very touching. There is no road in Yuanyang Pool, and an experienced guide is needed to lead the way. Even so, it is common to get lost in the dense forest. It seems that a paradise like waterfowl doesn't like human intervention. Songhualien

On the carpet-spread grassland on the western slope of Changbai Mountain, there are often moving scenes of pine trees and birch trees: pine trees are tall and straight, solemn and solemn, like a masculine person; The branches and leaves of the birch tree are stretched and graceful, like a gentle and charming beauty. They are like lovers trysting in Changbai Mountain, holding a grand collective wedding, forming a powerful lineup of "Songhua Change" landscape. This wonder is located in the "Alpine Garden" zone of Changbai Mountain, with an altitude of about 2 thousand meters, which is the natural dividing line between coniferous forest belt and birch forest belt. Pine and birch, representing plants, belong to two vegetation belts. They are like lovers with deep feelings, snuggling up to each other, taking root and climbing branches for a long time. The phenomenon that two trees are conjoined because of different tree species can be seen in many places. The difference in Love between Pine and cypress is that the two trees are different in appearance, but they embrace each other, which naturally causes people to think about beautiful love. In different seasons, Love between Pines and cypresses presents different landscapes. In spring, pine needles are spitting and birch leaves are sprouting. They are like a pair of first-love men and women, full of affection; In summer, leafy, green crown, such as cover, they are like a pair of lovers in love, love fire like blazing; In autumn, birch leaves are frosted and there are many pinecones. They are like a middle-aged couple, who have been in love for a long time. In winter, white birch is in the wind, and pine trees are proud of snow. They are like an elderly couple, holding hands and smiling back at the vicissitudes of life.

Among the many "pine and birch lovers", one pair stands out. They are all over 100 years old. Pine trees are more than 20 meters high and birch trees are slightly lower. When people arrive here, they all rush to watch, and men, women and children are willing to take photos with them. People often say with emotion: Who said that seeing pine, cypress and birch fall in love makes the grass heartless? Botanists explained that the top of Changbai Mountain has a high altitude, a thin soil layer and a lot of geomantic omen. Pine trees or birch trees can hardly survive alone here, and are easily blown down by the wind. These two trees are the product of fighting against the harsh environment and the result of long-term natural selection and elimination.
