The morning immediately after getting up we catch the 7:50 train to Songjianghe 4242 times. The Songjianghe time around 10:00 or so.
Mix the day before Beijing has given the two I would recommend the western slope of Changbai Mountain chartered good driver, a driver surnamed Ren master, open Alto car, chartered costs 300 yuan a day, while the western slope of all ticket packages. Which have been touch with the car, and our journey becomes much more calmly.
1 to Songjianghe train station, he was waiting outside the station master had been a long time, and we continued on our way immediately jumped Alto.
Master Ren was originally Protection Agency, and no wonder the western slope while closing off hills, but he passage. I had hoped the western slope of the line can visit Heavenly Lake, Jin Jiang Jin Jiang Grand Canyon and waterfalls three spots, but any teacher told us that the road to and from Jinjiang waterfall takes about 4 hours, If you go to the waterfall can not be back before dark, then drive, and We also had to give up the idea, but unfortunately the Jinjiang waterfall scenery and hot springs along the way.
Western slope of the road has just been repaired soon after the road better than the northern slope of the mountains to go more. If it is summer, the mountains along the garden this is a very spectacular, but this season will see is just a brown alpine meadow of the. From the alpine garden up, we saw the western slope of the peak was submerged in a thick cloud, it appears that the western slope of Tianchi is doomed to see it.
Have to walk on the western slope there is more than 1000 stairs to climb the mountain Plank Road, Tang Tianchi in addition to the peak you can see, when North Korea on the 5th pillar, the tourists do not come here no more crossing to the photographic souvenir. Can not see the Heavenly Lake, plus the weather is really bad, we stayed for a peak on the same route returned.
Small Alto came to the entrance of the Grand Canyon was nearly 1:00 pm, he was also well-intentioned teacher warned us after stopping into the canyon not to leave the board after the paved scenic tour lines, edge of the cliff, let alone set foot in so easily. He can not think of our valleys, linger in the afternoon a memorable one, until 5:00 p.m. after more than ready to leave.
Jinjiang Grand Canyon is a spectacular Changbai Mountain one miracle after another, to Changbai's Mix who must not miss. After entering scenic walk along the boardwalk to the left about a quarter of an hour you can see the Grand Canyon, the road along the cliff to the left, you can see a path leading to the bottom. We follow the path down, walked a steep slope full of volcanic ash, I MM say that nothing has refused to move forward, and I had to let her stand in place, he himself continued to explore the bottom. In fact, after the adoption of this volcanic ash slope, the road ahead is like walking more, bottom of scenery is there some other charm, but empty, very quiet. While the bottom camp is guilty of bad news, but I still think the Grand Canyon trough is a good camping place, but the prior 10 million to be bullish forecast. Grand Canyon 70 kilometers, if the road can be seen along the bottom of the infinite unexplored canyon scenery, but also to explore ways to board the cliff across the valley, a mob who wanted to come should be worth trying the line.
Back to Songjianghe to about 6:30 or so, we live in Songjianghe the Baekdu night hotel at a cost of 80 yuan / rooms, hotel condition was good, management is also more formal.

Because they are not tourist season, combined with the western slope of closing hillsides to facilitate, in the mountain Plank Road at the entrance to no one to rent coat business, but the weather happens Peak unbearable chill. My girlfriend Chong-feng give clothes to wear, and any teacher that put their own pieces of large suits lent me, and I also added in the suit raincoat outside the wind, this body and equipment that can be really embarrassing.
Western slope of mountain road repair very neat, mountain climbing and should have no difficulty, but the more air the greater the upward climb, the more bone-chilling cold and thick fog. West Slope due to normal sunlight than the northern slope of the full and covered the mountains full of meadows, meadow this season has already withered and yellow, and each strain of grass on both hung icicle, frozen fog on the mountain meadow above the rolling movement of the . The occasional burst of wind ripped a seam will be fog to reveal a blue sky, the western slope of the peak suddenly appeared on the horizon, a sun surrounded by dark clouds broke away on the radio at the peak will be the rock dyed golden cast, as a general, but when I raise my camera, the peak once again, for the fog to cover up too solidly, missing the.
We have just reached its peak, I heard a number of tourists up the mountain earlier cheered up, the original is a corner of the fog dispersed, Tianchi can already see a vague outline of the. However, lasted only a few seconds of time, the immediate left of the vast expanse of whiteness is still the one that try as we repeated calls, the western slope of Heavenly Lake no longer refuse to show up. An older more visitors to be extremely difficult in the edge of the cliff teams played a tripod, just waiting for the weather turns for the better shooting Tien Chi, a young man behind the body backward, pulled tightly to his coat, so as not to occur when strong wind comes up dangerous.
Western slope of the edge of a cliff towering pillar of China-North Korea on the 5th, I just walked pillar, to the North Korea's territory, the so happened that the phone rang, so I punched in the Changbai Mountains of Britain "international long-distance." In addition to the wind whistled some could not hear me call, where the signal is not actually a little weak.
Visitors in the Peak standing a long time, still no trace of Tianchi, but more and more bad weather in the mountains had to have down the mountain. Tianchi because we've seen, how sorry can not think, there is no more to stay at the peak. The way down, the air gradually it began to hail the size of red beans, we find any play I just want to forward to hurry back to the car.
Go by way of the Grand Canyon, I have liked the warmth of a small Zheliang Alto, as well as any master drive. Master Ren has been presented to us along the way the scenery and local customs, such as pointing to the car window fog, said: "Look, there is the tiger back", "Look, there are outposts in the past," in fact we are the not see anything, only speak from any master to hear his voice in the deep sentimentally attached to and proud of Changbai Mountain.
Jinjiang Grand Canyon hidden in the south-west slope of Changbai Mountain immense virgin forest into its original integrity of the forest suddenly cut off. Canyon depth of 160 meters, 300 meters wide at its widest point is the result of Changbai volcano eruption triggered by an earthquake shattered the surface generated. Cliffs on both sides of the Grand Canyon, such as the general Daoxue ax steep, most of the precipice attached to a thick layer of ash, grayish black, and some of it is brightly colored clay cliffs. In the Red and the Black Canyon of the between the two sides, there is layer upon layer, numerous lava Feng Shi, regardless of how many of these rock gestures, sharp edges are blind, like the ancient Yi Bing Bing Ren handle, pierce the earth , straight to point to blue sky. North Jinjiang winds in the doldrums and in front of me a big bend Po, pour away. How the mighty force of the soul-stirring in order to tear the forest and the earth, it is time for many years before the wind and rain erosion carved the Grand Canyon piled today's magnificent picture, Jinjiang Grand Canyon as a cliff and into the abyss, water and fire, land and cutting edge composed of a living purgatory, we are face to face, watching the display of arbitrary nature of his unparalleled power, breathtaking.
Jinjiang Grand Canyon in recent years was known, no one traveled through 70 km of the mysterious valley distance, if the time can be stuck in that afternoon, I am willing to wandering in the valleys so that the Grand Canyon are unknown wonders of step by step show in front of me, giving themselves time and again to whom the admiration.
Until the Grand Canyon was the setting sun dyed times, we realized that not only the western slope of the journey will end, we will also bid farewell to the Changbai Mountains.

Next goal: Sino-Korean border town of Ji'an.
We have come to the Northeast temporary seat passengers on the train listening to the introduction, I heard that there is a mountain covered in leaves Ji'an and rich cultural heritage, it will be stable and to this traveling collection of side show.
6:09 am, catching up Songjianghe - Tonghua the 4264 second train 10:17 to Tonghua, I got back to Beijing immediately after the second day of the ticket bought. A train station about 300 meters walk to the Tonghua City on the long-distance bus terminal, and then buy a bus ticket to set security. Unfortunately, due to the train a little late Tonghua, we have just missed a set of security to the car, had to ride the 1:00 pm car.
Before boarding, we Tonghua an Internet cafe near the train station while away their time, by the way check these with the set of security-related information. Originally a small set of security, and Han was actually during the Goguryeo States, there is the argument of great significance to the history of Goguryeo in ancient city. In a number of monuments, the General Cemetery, Long-chuan heard of the tomb, etc., and good Stele, or know how much interest and therefore a number of initiation.
Passenger car from Tonghua to set an approximately two and a half hour farther along the beautiful scenic highway on both sides of chrysanthemum exceptionally fresh, and indeed a little "Saibei small Jiangnan" mean. Ji'an everywhere in promoting local tourism slogan, we can see in this town is really anxious to put their own packaged into a tourist hot spot.
Indeed, as the city set an evaluation of online Mix, like clean, prosperous. Our first stop tour before the Yalu River, by speed boats can come from the North Korean shore, not far from the front of a foreign country of the land a quick photo photo. Spend 20 yuan for the second leg of a Leap hired car, Across the river Looking over Urawa City, visit the Yalu River Bridge, a good Stele, General graves.
Return to the town and found the hotel set of safety actually packed every family, it seems fairly Jian City in Jilin Province, is notoriously tourist zone. Finally we have a set of private hostels last a spare room, although the poor condition but the price is only 35 yuan / rooms, and finally there is no sleeping on the streets.
Night we came under the CTS boss's pointing the Yalu River, in one called "North Korea clan" barbecue restaurant and enjoy a delicious meal of Korean barbecue, enjoying themselves.

Tonghua the railway station and bus stand in the same street, less than a 300 meters distance. We are out of the station, quickly ran to bus tickets, bought tickets and two hours after the idle time, we intend to take this opportunity to stroll Tonghua City.
Like visiting the City, of course, take the bus or the most convenient, and then we just hop into one of a bus, thinking where are counted which bar.
Car There are few people on the bus had seat, I thought this small city's traffic situation is good. Conductor was surprised to ask us where to go, I would say that we are casual stroll, the conductor's eyes so wide open to even greater.
After just bought their tickets to be firmly installed in the car to leave it at that we just left of the Tonghua station, the original is this here bus terminus of the.
We hurried to escape the bus it can not help but laugh.
Set of security at the Yalu River Bridge is a volunteer Ruchao then one of two important lines, and now a modern bridge built military barracks stationed with a company's strength. Here is the military-controlled areas, not loitering would like to visit the Yalu River Bridge must be registered in the barracks identity documents, while also charging the cost of 10 yuan per person.
Be assured that army will not be arbitrary charges, and others to open Gonggongzhengzheng receipts, are subjects that tour fee.

1, do not hastily passed the northern slope of Changbai good-bye, it is necessary to know the western slope of scenery are also unlimited, not to be missed, not to mention more than one peak Tang Tianchi the chance to see doubled.
2, if I re-arrange the western slope of the journey, I will swim after the northern slope of the evening rush Songjianghe, starting at 3:30 am the next day to see Tianchi sunrise, and then have plenty of time to thin Jinjiang Tour Falls and the Grand Canyon, and in addition, within one day visit to these three spots is almost impossible.

Long-term memory of those who can avail the landscape, in addition to pleasing to the eye, but also will have a distinctive style, so pleasant scenery only minimum standards. A good picture should make anyone come to mind when you have animals and natural Chongru encounter moments are forgotten; to the situation when you have University, so picture will reside in his heart.
If indeed there are some scenery, be able to have been so deeply moved, then regarded as a Changbai Mountain.
