Jilin—A Dreamy Winter Wonderland in Changbai Mountain

The enchanting winter atmosphere of Changbai Mountain feels like stepping into a fairy tale… 🧐Location: Changbai Mountain Snow Ridge 🚗Transportation: Self-driving or taxi are both convenient. Consider chartering a vehicle to avoid sharing and potential rushing, ensuring a leisurely experience. Attractions: 1. Snowmobile: Ascend the mountain for 168 per person. It only takes a few minutes, saving you approximately 40 minutes compared to walking. However, be prepared for potential queues during peak times. 2. Reindeer Feeding: Purchase moss (30 per portion) to feed the reindeer in the park. 3. Horse-drawn Sleigh: Opt for a horse-drawn sleigh for both uphill and downhill journeys at 120 per person. Despite the slight chill, gliding through the dense snowy forest offers a delightful experience. 4. Photography: For those walking up and down the mountain, the scenery along the way is superb. The dense pine forests, with snow seemingly clinging to every branch, provide countless photo opportunities. The rime-covered trees in Snow Ridge are exceptionally picturesque. Important Notes: 1. Temperatures are quite low, so protect every inch of exposed skin, including your face. 2. The reindeer here seem perpetually hungry, so it's best not to buy moss immediately upon entering. They tend to swarm and quickly devour the moss, making it difficult to capture good photos. 3. The snow on the branches is most prominent in the early morning. As the sun rises, it begins to melt, disappearing by midday and afternoon. 4. Wear tall snow boots to prevent snow from entering your shoes. Also, consider using foot warmers to avoid cold feet. 5. Be mindful of deer droppings on the ground within the deer enclosure. 6. The horse-drawn sleighs can be a bit smelly, and snowmobiles are somewhat pricey. If you prefer to avoid both, simply enjoy the walk, which takes about 40 minutes uphill. 7. There's a pink wooden hut midway up the mountain, which serves as a small shop where you can purchase snacks.
