11.26 Changbai Mountain live shots! This is really not Switzerland, it's breathtaking...

Winter at Changbai Mountain is truly stunning to the point of speechlessness😍 But seeing the Heavenly Lake still requires some luck, as it only opens a few days a month. However, if you come to Changbai Mountain and can't see the Heavenly Lake, don't be disappointed! Go to these places and you definitely won't regret the trip. - 💟 Simply put, Xueling is a snowy mountain divided into three spots, all on one route.👇 1️⃣: Forest Tavern, with small wooden cabins in the woods, little rabbits, and puppies 2️⃣: Rime Forest, where it's best to spend more time taking photos. Going deep into the rime forest makes for even better shots. The snow acts like a giant reflector, making your face bright and radiant—perfect for photos. 3️⃣: Reindeer Park, where moss to feed the deer costs 30 RMB per bowl. Next to the Reindeer Park is the visitor center, where you can go in to have something warm to eat and warm up. Note: Hold the moss firmly, as the reindeer rush in and will finish it in two bites. - 💟 Travel Tips👇 It is recommended to take the horse-drawn sleigh up the mountain, which is a must-experience activity, weaving through the dense snowy forest❄. However, the horses get tired going uphill, so only two people can ride at a time. If there are more people, you can choose to take a snowmobile. 🔸 You can actually drive the snowmobile yourself, but this activity only opens when there is heavy snow. It is generally not recommended to ride it; someone pulls you along, and it costs 188 RMB per person for a few minutes. If there are many people, this activity can be quite expensive and not very enjoyable. 🔸 It is recommended to walk down the mountain; it’s not very tiring and takes about 20 minutes. The scenery along the way is so beautiful that you can stop to take photos everywhere. 🔸 Dress warmly, important enough to say three times. 🔸 The reindeer at Xueling are very eager for food. You don’t need to buy food to take photos with them, as the park is open to enter freely. If you buy food, a group of reindeer will surround you, making it impossible to take photos like I did. - ❣ This winter, come to Changbai Mountain for a snowy date~ 🥰 Hide all your romance and happiness in the swirling snow. For first-timers, I suggest joining a local small group tour👍. Having a reliable guide is really important to avoid taking 800 li of detours!!🍀🍀🍀 Source material
