The Changbai mountain nature preserve aims to protect the natural environment and forestry ecosystem whose centre is the famous
Tianchi lake as its core .The whole area in Jilin Province's Antu ,Fusong, and Changbai these three counties, and the southeast is beside the DPRK . The total area is 196,465 hectares, it is the best preserve area with the most abundant species of the wilds plants and, most ecosystem among the nature preserved at the same latitude on the Earth; it is the typical representative of the Europe continent the Northern Hemisphere ecosystem. In the area there are 2540species of wild plants and 1508 kinds of animals, among which are 364 kinds vertebrate and 780 are insects. Ladies and Gentlemen, we all know that Changbai Mountain is a dormant volcano and it has erupted for three times from the 16th century till now ,the first time was in the August of 1597 ,the other two being the April of 1688 and the April of 1702.Changbai Mountain has a varied topography and complex natural environment .with the increasing of elevation from bottom to the top of the mountain, the climate soil and creature can be divided into four vertical plant belts with clear boundaries .there are the mixed forest belt of coniferous trees and broadleaf trees at the elevation between 500to 1000metersabove the sea level. Coniferous tree belt with the elevation between 1000 to1700 meters, mountainous birch belt which locates at an elevation from 1700 to 2000 meters and mountainous tundra belt distribute above 2000meters.
Ok everyone we are standing on the volcanic area that surround the Tianchi Lake of the Changbai mountain .look this is the most beautiful scenery
here –so it is called heaven pond. it locates on the top of the volcanic cone of the highest peak .the shape o the lake is oval similar to that of a fallen leaf .Actually this lake is formed naturally after the volcanic eruption .it spans 4400s from south to north and 3370 meters from east to west, with the depth of 373 meters at its lowest point .The lake water surface of Heaven lake is about 2189.1 meters above the sea level, its total water capacity is 2.01 billion cubic meters
The heaven lake only has the water outletbut no inlet, an temperature is lower during the whole year and the average water temperature is below 7 degree, and at the same time the lake is the highest mountainous lake above the sea level, the deepest lake with regard to its water content and the boundary lake of china and DPRK.
Around the Changbai Mountain there are 16 peaks,
West to the Tianchi Lake slightly north，the horizontal distance
of 1260 meters to the Limingmountain is the White clouds peak of elevation 2,691 meters which it is the highest mountain in the Northeast. the next one is north to east of the Tianchi lake the horizontal distance of 325 meters to the White clouds peak is the Tianwen peak, to the west of the Tianwen peak , the horizontal distance of 1750 meters is the Long men peak ,whose elevation is 2595 meters.
Everybody what we are going to see is the Changbai Mountain’s hot spring group,
The Changbai Mountain hot spring group is located from 900 meters, to the Changbai Mountain waterfall ,its hard to believe that there are tens of springs concentrated in this 1000-square –meter area .The spring’s temperature is different from each other ,the average tempera is between 60 degree to 80 degree，In addition，The hot spring also has high medical value that it can be used to cure many diseases .
Now we are staying at the “small Tianchi Lake”
The saying of a lake beast prevailing for along time which in addition make the lake more attractive .whether the beast exists or not needs further investigation and if today we are lucky enough, we may watch a sight on that beast .there is also one gap between Tianwen peak and Long men peak in the north of the lake .the water spills out here and flows 1250 meters north wards along side the Tian river and drops suddenly from the rift, it is of great momentum. Thus the waterfall which has drops 68 meters is formed and it is called the fall of Changbai Mountain, it is also the Source of the Songhua River
Which is also called the lake of the ring it has a circumference of 260 meters and a total area of 5000 square meters the depth of the lake is about and the water there is perpetual .
Generally speaking forest should grow on the ground but it is strange that a forest grew under the cliff of the mountain here .this is the so –
called “underground forest” ,but the towering old trees help turnthe mountain range to an attractive green world .
Ok every one .our visit is coming to the end now and we have to bid farewell to each other, we are looking for ward to you next visit to

North Slope View of Changbai Mountain
The Changbai Mountain is renowned for the top 10 mountains in China, and a National Nature Reserve in Jilin Province. The respectable leader Deng Xiaoping highly appraised after his trip, he said, “It will be a lifelong regret for not mounting the Changbai Mountain.”
Now we are in the world-fame Changbai Mountain National Nature Reserve. It was founded in 1960. In 1980, it was listed among the International Man and Biosphere Protection Net as a World Nature Reserve. In 1986, it was in the list of National Forest and Wildlife Reserve and in 2000, it was authorized Grade AAAA Tourist Site.
Changbai Mountain Nature Reserve is a nature and forest ecosystem with the Tianchi Lake as its center. The reserve covers a area of 196465 hectares and situated in the three counties of Antu, Fusong, Changbai, and is close to the DPRK （Democratic People's Republic of Korea） to the Southeast. It is also the best preserved nature reserve with the most abundant species of wild plants, and most intact ecosystem among those at the same latitude all over the world. There are more than 2540 species of wild plants and 1508 kinds of animals, among which 364 kinds are vertebra animals and 780 are insects.
The natural environment of Changbai Mountain is of complicated variety. Climate, soil and living things are changing distinctly with the rising of elevation. From
its foot to top, 4 distinctive sceneries are formed because of striking change of temperature: Broadleaf Trees, the Belt of Conifers, Birch and the Belt of Tundra. At the foot of the mountain, trees are lush and flourishing, but in the top of the mountain there are no trees, no grass at all. （If we climb the mountain, it seems as if we traveled from the temperate zone to the polar zone. A poem pictures this:
The mountain experiences 4 seasons in a day,
Its temperature differs dramatically in a 10-li way.
The Changbai Mountain is a dormant volcano which has erupted three times. The 1st eruption took place in August, 1597, April 2nd, 1668 and April 3rd, 1702-over 300 years up to now. and now its geographic changes are still going on.
The magic and charm of the mountain lies in its magnificent nature vies and winter scenery with thick snow. Here you can enjoy the boundless virgin woods, vertical landscape belts, distinctive volcanic landforms and the deepest crater lake of the highest elevation in the world. The Changbai Mountain Waterfall is of 68 meters dropping in elevation with hot springs scattering densely in this are. All this shows the mountain is a charming resort you're longing for.
Now our bus is going through the green corridor, you can have a look at the beautiful view.
1.The Belt of Conifers and Broadleaf Trees at the elevation 500-1000 meters above sea level. The trees grow lush and in profusion. This place is called “the sea of trees and the plain of snow.” In some particular areas on either bank of the 二道 White River grow a special plant-Beauty Pine. Most of the 300 Changbai species of vertebrates grow here. （兽类有东北虎、梅花鹿、马鹿、野猪、黑熊等；鸟类有鸳鸯、榛鸡、大山雀等；爬行类有蝮蛇、草蜥、松花蛇等；两栖类有中国林蛙（哈什蛙）、花背蟾蜍等。

Such as beasts like northeast tigers, spotted deer, red deer, boars, and black bears; birds like mandarin ducks, hazel grouse, tomtits; reptiles like vipers, grass lizards, snakes; and amphibians like Chinese forest fogs and figured-back toads, etc. ）
2.The Belt of Conifers between 1000-1700 meters. It is moist and its temperature drops sharply. （树木以耐寒的针叶树如红松、云杉、冷杉、落叶松等为主。

针叶林带常见的兽类有紫貂松鼠、棕熊等；鸟类有三齿啄木鸟、黑琴鸡等；爬行类有蝮蛇、送花蛇；两栖类有日本雨蛙、林蛙。

There grow many species of trees with cold-enduring conifers as their major, including red pines, dragon spruces, firs, larches, etc. There are beasts such as sables, squirrels, brown bears, etc.; birds such as 3-teeth, wood peckers, heathbird; repitiles, such as vipers, snakes; amphibians such as Chinese frogs, Japanese hylas, etc. ）
3.The Belt of Birch which locates from 1700 to 2000 maters. The mountain is steep and it is severely cold in winter, rainy and windy in summer. （岳桦林带的兽类高山鼠兔，鸟类有山雀、柳莺等；两栖类有林蛙。

There are beasts such as mountain mice and hares and birds such as mountain tit, willow warbler. And the amphibian is the Chinese frog.）
4.The Belt of Tundra distributed above 2000 meters. It lies on the middle and upper part of the volcanic cone. （高山苔原带有多年的草本地衣、苔藓等；每年六七月，太原上百花争艳，宛如美丽的天然花园。

这个地带的主要兽类有高山鼠兔，鸟类的代表种类是白腰雨燕。

Every year in June and July, the wild flowers are in full bloom, competing for beauty each other. Seeing the thriving mountain top garden, you cannot believe your eyes. The main animals here are mountain mice and hares and the common bird is white-waisted swift.）
Now, here we are on the peak of the mountain with a full vies of the Tianchi Lake. The lake lies on the top of the volcanic cone. It seems as if it is a shining pearl dotted on the peaks. It looks a fallen leaf in the shape of an ellipse: 4400 meters long from north to south; 3370 meters wide from east to west. The deepest is 373 meters and 2189.1 meters above sea level, and its storage capacity is 2001 billion cubic meters. Thus, it is the deepest mountain lake with the highest elevation. In addition, it serves as the border lake between D.P.R.K.
Its water is as clear as crystal. 16 precipitous peaks are standing over the lake and are taking reflections in the lake.
The beauty of the Tianchi Lake comes along with a legend. It goes like this
Once upon a time ,the Lady Queen Mother had two daughters .They were alike and beautiful .Nobody could tell who was more beautiful .One day ,at a peach immortality in Chinese mythology , god Taibai太白 presented Lady Queen Mother a magic mirror of jade .announcing that it could tell who was more beautiful ,the elder one or the younger one . As a result, the mirror judges that the younger sister is more beautiful. Naturally that irritated the elder files into a rage and then throws the mirror away. While the mirror drops onto Changbai mountains, it becomes the Heavenly Lake.
1.Baiyun Peak（2,691 meters at altitude）
Lying to the northwest of the lake , It is the highest peak in the Northeast named “Baiyun （white cloud ）Peak” whic h has 2,691 meters in elevation.
白云峰 2691-------天文峰2670-------玉柱峰2662------华盖峰 2640-----芝盘峰2603-----龙门峰 2595
Black Draught Gap
The Black Draught Gap is a cliff opening half way up the major peak of the Changbai Mountain .It is located on the roadside of the way to the peak. It's the best place to overlook the Erdao White River Valley and the Changbai Waterfall running down the narrow north gap of the lake. It's 500m high from the cliff to the valley bottom.
These is a gap between Tianwen Peak and Longmen Peak north of the lake .The water spills out and flows 1,250 meters northwards along Tian River and drops suddenly from the rift. It is of great momentum.Thus, the waterfall which has a drop of 68 meters is formed and is called the waterfall of Changbai Mountains. Rushing down the valley and canyon, the water looks like white skill. Local people call it “ White River”（or 二道White River）。

It is headstream of the Songhua
Now we are staying by the “Small Heavenly Lake”,which is also calle d the Lake of Sliver Ring.It has a circumference of 260 meters and a total area of more than 5,000 square meters. The lake is deeper than 10 meters .And the water there is perpetual.
There is also a group of hot springs in Changbai Mountains .It is hard to believe that there are tens of springs gathering in this 1,000-square-meter area. The temperature of the water is between 60 and 82 centigrade. So they are characterized by high temperature springs. And by scientific investigation, the hot springs of Changbai Mountains contains scores of beneficial minerals and can cure many diseases.
Generally according to the principles of nature, forest should grow on the ground. But it is strange that a forest grows under the cliffs .This is the so-called “Underground Forest”. The valley is 50-60 meters high and its bottom is 2500-3000 meters long from north to south. And the towering old trees help decorate the mountain range to be an attractive green world.
How time flies! Our visit is coming to an end now .And we have to say goodbye to each other .I am looking forward to your next visit to the Changbai Mountain Range . Hope you have a pleasant journey back.。
