🧘🏻♀️How to choose Changbai Mountain rafting?
💨The water of the north slope rafting passes through the power station, generates heat, and there will be rime. If it snows, there will also be snow sleet. You can see snow sleet in the west slope rafting.
🌟Suggestion: Whether to see rime and snow sleet depends on the weather, wind force, and luck. Go to the one near the accommodation (recommend Magic World on the north slope, and Original First Rafting on the west slope, these two are relatively flat, will not capsize, suitable for taking pictures)
🕰️Rafting time: (after the end of November)
⌚️Go to the north slope rafting, arrive before 7 o'clock, the whole rafting takes 40 minutes, and finish rafting before the sun rises.
⏰You can go to the west slope a little later, arrive around 8 o'clock, rafting for 40 minutes, the temperature is low and the snow will not melt.
📎Notes for Changbai Mountain Rafting:
1. Magic World Rafting includes cotton clothes, it is recommended to wear them, take them off for photos and sit on the buttocks to keep out the cold, the whole process is relatively flat.
2. The Original First Rafting comes with waterproof pants, don't wear skirts~ The waterproof pants come with shoes, you need to change shoes, you must wear thick warm socks + warm foot stickers, the early stage of rafting is relatively flat and suitable for taking photos, the later stage has two rapids.
3. The temperature for rafting needs to be below 0°C or it has snowed in the past few days, otherwise you will see bald trees, discourage.
♨️Hana Mountain Hot Springs:
🩱Preparation: Swimsuit! Be sure to prepare in advance, if you don't prepare, don't buy it in the hot spring hotel outside, it's expensive and ugly inside without exaggeration‼️
🏨We were given hot spring tickets in the Pullman Hotel
🔖You need to spend another 10 yuan to buy towels, slippers and storage cabinets in the hot spring hotel. We went at 1:30 in the afternoon, the hot spring opened at 13:00, so we went relatively early and there were not many people. When we left, it was almost 4:30, and there were more people. I highly recommend everyone to go in the afternoon, the sun is super beautiful, super out of the picture, there are many people at night!
⭐️The hot spring experience is super good, the indoor hot spring has a smell, so we purely soak in the outdoor hot spring, wrapped in a bathrobe and then soaked in the hot spring is super warm, not cold at all. It feels super magical, ice and fire, the head and neck are super cold by the wind, and occasionally snowflakes fall, but the body soaked in water is super warm, looking at the rime and blue sky and falling snowflakes, it's too magical! You must come and experience it! But don't soak too much, we soak every 15 minutes and then go to the indoor lounge chair and sauna room to buffer.
🧖♀️Washing and care: The bathing after the hot spring is quite clean, with separate bathrooms and doors, orderly washing and care products, as well as dryers and plastic bags, which are very convenient for taking away bathrobes and swimsuits.
