Changbai Waterfall

　　    Changbai Waterfall is situated on the northern side of Heaven Lake, at the terminus of the Chengcha River. At the 1,250-meter mark, the river plunges 68 meters to form a spectacular waterfall. As one of the most celebrated scenic wonders of Changbai Mountain, it is named Changbai Waterfall. Due to its significant drop, the fierce impact of the two water columns—resembling racing snow dragons—sends up countless splashes and a misty spray that fills the sky. Below the cliff lies a pool over 20 meters deep. The torrent then rushes into the Erdaobai River, the main source of the Songhua River. Suspended dramatically across the rugged cliffs amid a range of competing peaks, the waterfall presents a breathtakingly magnificent sight. Among the many stunning views of Changbai Mountain, Changbai Waterfall stands out as the most iconic, often described as the “eye” of the great icy dragon that is the mountain. Changbai Mountain is the highest part of China’s northeastern mountainous region, covering much of Yanbian, Baishan, and Tonghua, with its main range located in Chiping District of the province.
