1. "Tizi River" is located in the 5A scenic spot "Changbai Mountain". Changbai Mountain is a world-famous dormant volcano, one of the "Ten Famous Mountains in China", "the first mountain in Northeast China", and the border mountain between China and North Korea. Nine of the 16 peaks on the top are located in my country, and seven, including the highest peak "Jiangjun Peak" (2,691 meters above sea level), are located in North Korea. Changbai Mountain was first mentioned in the "Buxian Mountain" in "Classic of Mountains and Seas" more than 4,000 years ago, that is, the Fairy Mountain. The famous "Tianchi" on the top of the mountain is the world's largest, deepest and highest crater lake formed naturally after a volcanic eruption. It is the source of the Songhua River and one of the three major golden water sources in the world. It is also the birthplace of the Jurchen people. It was regarded as a sacred mountain of dragon veins by the Jin and Qing dynasties. It was banned and protected for more than 200 years in the Qing Dynasty. The Qing emperors often came to Changbai Mountain to worship and leave poems. In history, there are Nurhaci, Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qianlong, Emperor Jiaqing, Emperor Daoguang, Fan Zhongyan, Du Fu, Xin Qiji, Xu Xiake, Deng Xiaoping and other celebrities have left their footprints. During the Anti-Japanese War, it also served as the base of the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army, and Yang Jingyu and other anti-Japanese national heroes emerged. The scenic area is rich in animal and plant resources and is the filming location for many film and television dramas. It integrates sightseeing, skiing, and hot springs. It is divided into three routes: North Slope, West Slope, and South Slope. They are not connected to each other in Changbai Mountain and belong to three independent sub-scenic areas of Changbai Mountain Scenic Area. The West Slope includes five major areas: Tianchi, "Jinjiang Grand Canyon", "Wangchi", "Alpine Garden", and "Tizi River".
① Address: 200 meters west of the intersection of Shengshan Road and Wangchi Street, Fusong County, Baishan City, Jilin Province (Changbai Mountain Tourism Distribution Service Center)
② Transportation: No bus, easy to park by car.
③ Peak season: The warmest in summer, you can see the sea of rhododendrons and irises in June.
④ Time: 6 hours.
⑤ Notes: Pay attention to the weather forecast before going, so as not to see Tianchi on cloudy and foggy days.
2. The distribution center of the west slope of Changbai Mountain is in Jianghe Town, Fusong County. It is the departure point for direct buses to the inside of the scenic area. It is a place that tourists must go to because private cars cannot enter the scenic area. There are 3 ways to get there by public transportation:
① Plane: After leaving the "Baishan Changbaishan Airport", there are no airport buses or public buses. You can only take a taxi to the distribution center 18 kilometers away. The metered fare is about 40 yuan, but the drivers who are looking for work usually ask for a flat price of more than 50 yuan. You can bargain for 40 yuan.
② Train: "Songjianghe Station" is about 7 kilometers away from the distribution center. The metered fare is less than 20 yuan, but local taxi drivers tend to charge a flat price. You can bargain for 20 yuan.
③ Long-distance bus: "Songjianghe Passenger Transport Station" is about 7 kilometers away from the distribution center. The same applies to taxis.
3. Ladder River is located on the way to Tianchi, but the shuttle bus generally does not stop on its own. There is a small road leading to the Ladder River. It is named because the riverbed at its source is as steep as a ladder. On the surface, there are only cracks, and you can only hear the sound of water but not see the water flow. It is also known as the "underground river". The cold water of the Tizi River has become a natural refrigerator. Wild animals that fall into the river at the bottom of the valley will not rot. In the early years, border guards even went down to the bottom of the valley to pick up wild animal carcasses to improve their diet. Therefore, this river is also called the "Prey River". "The meat in the Tizi River does not spoil" has become a wonder of Changbai Mountain. This area is currently closed, which is a pity.
