Changbai Mountain Reverse Tour | Avoiding Crowds During Holidays Is So Refreshing!

Who understands Changbai Mountain in summer... I was truly healed by the forest oxygen bar here! 🌲 No crowds, no rushing around like special forces to check off attractions, waking up naturally every day while still being able to see Tianchi Lake and enjoy hot springs ♨ This is what a vacation should be! I've discovered a great small-car tour method perfect for young people and want to share it with those looking for reverse travel experiences~ 🌵 Transportation ✔ By Air: Changbai Mountain Airport is closer to the West Scenic Area. You can take a taxi directly to the West Scenic Area, or take the airport shuttle to the West Scenic Area or North Scenic Area visitor center, then transfer to a tourist bus to the entrance. ✔ From Changchun Longjia Airport, you can take the intercity train to Yanji West Station, then transfer to Changbai Mountain, or hire a private car from Yanji to the North Slope of Changbai Mountain. 📢 By Train: Changbai Mountain Station is close to the North Scenic Area, while Songjiang River Station is close to the West Scenic Area. You can first travel to Dunhua, Antu, Yanji and other places, then transfer by bus to Changbai Mountain Scenic Area. 💯 By Bus: Erdaobaihe Bus Station is the closest to the North Scenic Area, while Songjiang River Bus Station is the closest to the West Scenic Area. 📢 Self-driving: Make sure to set your navigation to the entrance gates of each scenic area, not to the visitor center or transportation hub, as they are typically about 30 kilometers away from the entrance gates. The South Scenic Area is even further. ‼️ Essential Items ✔ Documents: ID card, student ID, etc. ✔ Clothing: Prepare warm clothes suitable for temperature differences between mountain top and bottom, as well as comfortable sneakers or hiking boots. ✔ Other items: Power bank, sunglasses, sunscreen, hydrating face masks, rain gear (rain coats recommended as umbrellas are inconvenient and dangerous due to strong winds on the mountain). If you plan to enjoy hot springs, bring swimwear.
