Scenic Route on the Southern Foot of Changbai Mountain

　　Traveling upstream along the Yalu River from Changbai Korean Autonomous County, about 90 kilometers from the county town, lies the world-renowned southern foot of Heaven Lake on Changbai Mountain. Ascending to the lake from the southern slope offers a unique experience. Along the way, you’ll encounter towering peaks, cliffs as sheer as walls, pristine forest landscapes with diverse vegetation, as well as famous scenic spots such as the Bone River Valley, Camel Peak, and Tiger Fang Peak, all of which showcase the wonders of nature. From the summit on the southern side of Heaven Lake, the alpine lake stretches out before your eyes, with all 16 peaks of the lake vying in beauty, and the unfathomable depths of the lake water.

　　The southern slope of Changbai Mountain is especially suitable for travelers with limited mobility or seniors, as the entire journey can be done without walking—all the scenery unfolds right along the road. However, the mountain roads on the southern slope are equally thrilling.
