After deciding to go to Changchun this summer, Changbai Mountain Tianchi was my first choice. Especially after seeing other people's articles about Changbai Mountain Tianchi on the Internet, I was even more yearning and excited. "Excitement" comes from the article is full of pictures and texts, and the magnificence of the beauty of Tianchi in Changbai Mountain is infinite. In particular, he also wrote that the Tianchi of Changbai Mountain is not necessarily visible when you reach the edge of the Tianchi, it is completely determined by the weather, and the Tianchi cannot be seen if it is cloudy and foggy. The article also writes that the author met several tourists who said that they had not seen Tianchi three times. All this made me yearn for Changbai Mountain Tianchi from yearning to urgency. "Urgency" may have something to do with my naivety, always trying to test my luck.

I saw on the Internet that there is a long way to go from Changchun to Tianchi, which is really unbearable for me who is motion sick. Therefore, after repeated arguments, it was decided to look at Tianchi from the western slope. All the information on the Internet proves that the west slope is the most beautiful to see Tianchi. Then, look at the most beautiful.

Contact the local travel agency in Changchun a week in advance. Everything is providential, and it is precisely because I contacted in advance that I knew that the West Slope saw the Tianchi, and I sent a two-day tour once a week on Saturday. When I learned the news, the ticket had been booked in advance, and it happened to be booked at 5 p.m. on July 21 and Friday to Changchun Airport.

Everything is in order, just wait for the weather to be completed.

It was cloudy when we set off from Changchun at five o'clock on Saturday morning, and it began to rain in the afternoon. The mood is also the same as this weather, worrying about tomorrow's Tianchi trip. In the afternoon, after visiting the Swan Scenic Area in the rain, stay overnight in the border city of BS. The town is small and full of roads that are being renovated and many new hotel buildings are used for tourist accommodation, which can be seen as a tourist city.

After settling into the accommodation, it was already past eight o'clock. At night I began to sweep the streets to see if there was anything to eat. Now that the rain has stopped, there are a lot of people like me on the streets. There are a lot of melons and fruits sold on the side of the road, and the small white melons here are my favorite, they are very delicious. In Changchun, I also saw many melon farmers selling this kind of melon. When they came, the Changchun people in the car ate the skin and seeds together, and almost every family brought this kind of melon. When I went to Harbin a few years ago, I liked this small white melon, which seems to be a specialty of Northeast China. Therefore, after seeing fresh melons with melon seedlings on Baishan Street, I bought a big bag.

Whenever I buy local food on a large scale, I always give myself the reputation of "stimulating the local economy and contributing to the villagers". Haha, it's completely for a legitimate reason to cover up the true colors of foodies.

By the way, I asked the owner of the blueberry shop about the kind of rice crackers made by the Korean people I saw in the Wangswan Scenic Area. At the time, I made it a pancake, but later my fellow traveler said it was made of rice, so I was interested. I think of the rice crackers I ate in Busan, South Korea, and they were very delicious. After listening to my description, the shopkeeper said that there was one for sale, which was called pot beads. The Xian people (the locals call the Koreans the Xian people) buy them on the street every morning and process them at home in the afternoon. She enthusiastically wanted to take me to the Korean family that sold pot beads, and I asked her to tell me in detail. I don't know how to get around, but I'm sure I'll be able to find a good place to eat.

I turned around and turned to the front of a house on the adjacent street, and the door said "pot beads". Oh, the saliva is going to come out. When I entered the door, I saw a large processing workshop, and the people inside were making it. I happily bought three bags, nine large sheets, and began to eat as I walked out the door. It's so delicious, and it's very different from what I ate in Kamasho, where the "Nabe Beads" rice crackers are fried in oil. After eating one, my throat was very uncomfortable. I categorized this as a lack of adaptation and gave the rest to the guide. The tour guide's words made me completely break the idea of eating similar food in the future. She said: These things processed with rice are all inferior rice, and good rice is used to steam and cook rice.

Return to the hotel with a large bag and a small bag. After eating and drinking, I cleaned up and went to sleep, but I couldn't sleep. One person was a little scared, and got up and lined up his chairs against the door. Soon after lying down, I always heard a bang, a bang outside the window, and I don't know what it was. At first, I didn't pay attention to it, but then the sound became denser, making it harder for me to sleep. I finally fell asleep, and I was woken up. I simply got up and looked out the window, and it turned out that it was raining heavily, and there was a canopy under the window.

Seeing such a heavy rain, I became worried, such weather, Tianchi must not be able to see.

I got up at half past four (it seems that Changchun people like to get up at this point), and it was still raining outside. When I went to breakfast, everyone was worried. By the time we came out again after breakfast, the rain was a little lighter. But I knew in my heart that the rain had stopped, and as long as it was cloudy, I was afraid that it would be a vain trip to Tianchi. The tour guide said that the group sent last week did not go up, and the Tianchi scenic spot was closed when it rained, and the scenic spot below the Tianchi was blind. After hearing this, I was originally confident and lucky, but now I really have no bottom in my heart, so I have to resign myself to fate.

Goodbye, BS City in Yanbian. I have a good impression of the town, the melons and fruits are fragrant, and the aquatic products are abundant. It's a pity that I only stayed for one night, and I only ate dry fried small yellow croaker.

The tour guide said that the Changbai Mountain Tianchi Scenic Area is about 200 kilometers away from the small town of Baishan and takes more than two hours to drive. Tianyin's mood was affected, so he simply continued to sleep. Even if you can't sleep, it's better to close your eyes than to look at the light rain outside the window. Hey, I'm really asleep, it looks like it's really raining. Wake up to see the sky blue and the sun shining. Oh, it's a sunny day! I really didn't expect that in just over an hour, I would leave the rainy day in the distance behind me. The sky was shining blue, the sun was shining golden, and it was so sunny that it was really a trance. The weather here is really as crisp and neat as the character of the people of the Northeast. It's either down, or it's eye!

No sleepiness, good mood!

However, there are still about 100 miles away from the Tianchi Scenic Area of Changtai Mountain. I thought that it was raining in BS city when I set off, and I left more than 100 kilometers with blue sky and white clouds, and the sun was shining. The weather changes so fast, and I am always very uneasy, worried that it will be rainy in another hundred miles?

After thinking of this, I told the tour guide that if I arrived at Tianchi today because of the cloudy sky, then I would not return to Changchun today, and I would continue to go to Tianchi tomorrow, and it would not be easy to come to Changbai Mountain, so I would not regret it as much as possible. The tour guide said that it was raining last week and closed for four days, just called to consult, and the scenic spot was only open today.

The closer I get to the Changbai Mountain Scenic Area, the more apprehensive I feel, and the weather has turned sunny to cloudy and uncertain.

Finally arrived in front of the Changbai Mountain Scenic Area, the sunny square was crowded with tourists, it was really lively. Get out of the car and see the blank clouds on the scenic spot, I was excited all of a sudden, I didn't care about the dazzling ultraviolet rays and strong light, I hurriedly ran to the gate of Changbai Mountain Scenic Area, and took a photo with the "Changbai Mountain Scenic Area" sign erected high, the image illuminated in the strong backlight, the black one is like taking a photo at night, but I just want to jump in a good mood!

However, the reason why I insisted on leaving the chaotic image of "visiting here" even though I knew that the backlight was too strong was that I was worried that if it rained heavily when I returned here, I wouldn't be able to shoot it. Alas, it seems that the weather on this trip to Changbai Mountain has become a major event on my mind, and it is almost abnormal.

After taking photos and waiting for the tour guide to send out the tickets, I found that the car had driven away, and my backpack was still in the car. The tour guide had to put down the group and go with me to find the car, I asked my companion Mr. Zhang to go first, she didn't agree, she had to wait for me.

Fifteen minutes later, I found the car in the parking lot, and hurried back to the gate of the scenic spot with my bag on my back. Thinking that Mr. Zhang was waiting for me, the tour guide walked slowly (now my cadence is not a few women can keep up, this is eight years of climbing the mountain to practice, live out of a female man), I went first. When I came to the parking lot just now, I saw willow orchids in full bloom on the side of the road, and the purple and red flowers were very beautiful. At that time, I thought that I would not be able to shoot it when I returned, and it was an accident to see it in the Changbai Mountain Scenic Area.

In addition, according to the experience of enjoying the scenery over the years, don't miss it if you see it, and don't expect it to be there in front of you, otherwise you may miss it forever and leave regrets. Therefore, when I walked quickly to a bright willow orchid, I was about to take a photo, and when I looked up and saw Teacher Zhang at the end of the road, she was looking at me, and I was embarrassed to take pictures when I saw that she was waiting for me from a distance. Walking forward again, in front of the last willow orchid, I felt guilty and decisively walked over and photographed it, I think my companion who was staring at me from a distance must have seen it, I'm sorry.

After meeting Teacher Zhang, I even said sorry and made her wait in the sun for more than half an hour, and there were few tourists in the square. The two of us hurriedly cut the ticket and entered the gate. Got on the scenic shuttle bus and began the longed-for Tianchi Changbai Mountain Scenic Area. On the bus, I saw a lot of cars going up the mountain in front of me, and I saw a lot of cars returning to the mountain halfway up the mountain. It can be seen that there are many tourists who come to Changbai Mountain to see Tianchi today.

At first, the car passed through the forest, and rushed out of the forest all the way up the mountain, and saw that the mountain was full of meadows. The undulating mountains are like a giant green carpet, and the green is so thick that it can't be dissolved, which is pleasing to the eye. Look at the green meadow up close, the mountain flowers are gorgeous, bright and dazzling, very beautiful. The driver said that we were late, and that there was another attraction on the hillside half a month ago, called Alpine Garden, where dozens of exotic flowers were in full bloom. As you can imagine, there is a separate alpine garden attraction in the meadow full of mountain flowers, which must be extremely beautiful!

After driving for about 20 minutes, I finally arrived at the visitor center under the observation deck. There are so many people, one after another, and they extend to the horizon connected to the top of the mountain. I saw that on the endless green slope, there are two wooden ladders leading to the top of the mountain, like a ladder. The flow of people is like weaving, up and down, and orderly. On the way to Tianchi, there are also proud children, and there are naturally people sitting on it, men, women and children. The young woman was lying on it, and two middle-aged and elderly people were sweating profusely, which really made me feel terrible......

Among the people who looked up and down the Tianchi one after another, almost all of them were tourists, and there was not a single person with climbing equipment. This is also determined by the natural conditions of Tianchi in Changbai Mountain. There are only two wooden stairways up the hill here. On both sides of the road are dense green grasses, blooming with bright yellow flowers, and visitors are not allowed to step into half a step. It can be seen that the management of the scenic spot is very good, effectively protecting the natural environment, two wooden ladders up and down, the least occupation of the destruction of the mountain.

On the ladder, the spectacular scene of two streams of people reaching the clouds is even more shocking. Thinking that after a while, I will also step into the clouds, and my heart will be excited, and my pace will be faster.

However, climbing up the stairs on the high-altitude mountain is really out of breath and anxious. Because, looking up at the top of the mountain, it is still very high and far away, and I am worried that the weather will change. It is now a blue sky and a white cloud, and the wooden ladder leads to the top of the green mountain, which is full of white clouds, like a pool of blooming white lotus. The crowd walks in it, it is a real walk in the clouds, like a dream.

I really want to jump to the top of the mountain in one step and watch the heavenly pool in the white clouds.

However, you still have to go up one step at a time, step by step. When a gust of wind blew, the clouds on the dumb mouth of Tianchi dispersed, and the fog came, my heart tightened. Fortunately, another gust of wind blew, the fog dispersed and the white clouds came, and the blue sky was even bluer. In this way, on the way to the top of the Tianchi, my heart moved with the blue sky, white clouds and clouds, sometimes happy, sometimes worried. I hope that the blue sky and white clouds will not move, and I hope that the clouds and mist will not come.

Finally walked the last step, came to the mountaintop observation deck, walked into the clouds in the eyes of the tourists below, but saw that there was no Tianchi on the mountaintop platform, only to see two stone monuments towering. One is a boundary monument with the national emblem, one side is Chinese, and the other side is not known in Korean. Another large stone is marked with two big red letters "Tianchi". This is the first time I have approached the border, and when I look at the bright red word "China", I am excited and hurry to take a photo with it.

Of course, you will also be sure to like the thumbs up in front of the wooden sign that says "I'm awesome when I made it to the top!" The height of the summit marked by the wooden brand SH 2470 meters is nothing to me who climbs the mountain all year round. However, when I saw this line of writing and the thumbs up today, my heart rose with infinite joy and excitement! I think this is not only because I have climbed the 2,470-meter Changbai Mountain, but also because I have been touched by eight years of climbing. At this moment, the thumbs up on Changbai Mountain are praising me! Haha, I'm so happy!

On the observation deck at the top of Changbai Mountain, everyone gathers, just like a pilgrimage (in fact, we are the worshippers of nature), and all actions are a competition for points. As soon as I took two photos with "Thumbs Up", I was crowded out by a large number of tourists, and my companion didn't rush to take pictures. However, even if everyone doesn't crowd over, you won't be embarrassed to stop here for a long time at this time. Because when I took the photo, there were all eyes in front of me looking eagerly, and my posture was about to jump.

My companion pulled me into the front few floors of the human wall. The human wall is lined up from south to north, connecting the dumb mouth on the top of the hill with the slopes at both ends. Needless to say, this must be the location of the Tianchi on the west slope. Tourists are excited to see the stitches and squeeze forward. You have to be agile to get close to the first row, and you can't see anything after that. In other words, Tianchi is invisible when it is blocked by one person.

My companion and I finally squeezed into the crowd in a squeezing position, but were taken out of place by the people who came out. Once again, we tried our best to "stand still", and then waited for the opportunity to squeeze forward, and we couldn't care if our hair was scattered. When I finally arrived in the first row, I was amazed when I saw it in my sight: Ah, Tianchi is so beautiful!

Tianchi is so beautiful! Tianchi is so beautiful! The sound of praise and laughter, one after another, endlessly, every face is looking down at Tianchi with a bright smile!

The Tianchi is so magnificent! It is the most beautiful and beautiful of the Tianchi that I have seen in a limited way! Condescendingly, I can only see the halfway up the mountainside of the peaks and cliffs, the mountains pick up a flat pool of blue water and the blue sky and white clouds are full of it, the strange peaks on the edge of the pool are in full phase, the deep red and light yellow of the rocks and the grass, flowers and trees are reflected in the Tianchi, the layers are distinct, the colors are colorful, just like enclosing a pool of colorful Qiong paddle jade liquid. It is also like a magnificent jade agate gemstone, which is sprinkled by the sun, transparent and jade, smooth and shining. Looking at it again, it is more like the sky that loves beauty, leaning on the top of the mountain and looking in the mirror of Tianchi, and also rushing to squeeze into the mirror of Tianchi, dressing up and tidying up the sky. This has the multifaceted changes of white clouds and blue sky in the heavenly pool, sometimes light and sometimes thick, sometimes scattered when gathering, and the clear water in the mountains becomes the heavenly pool. The beautiful Tianchi is better than the Yao Pond, and the white clouds are attached and do not go away. There is this scene in the world on the mountain, and the drunk tourists become half-immortals, and they don't know how to return the clouds and fog.

I was fortunate enough to see the most beautiful Tianchi, which made me even more reluctant to leave. However, there was a crowd behind me, and the strength was so great that I felt that if it wasn't for the fence in front of me, I would have fallen into the heavenly pool. Even if I can't stand on my feet like this, I also focus on Tianchi and my heart is full of joy. When you hear "We all come to see Tianchi from all over the country, please change it and let us take a look at it." After that, I turned around decisively and turned sideways to let the tourists holding the camera behind me squeeze in. Although I wanted this tourist to take a few more glances at Tianchi after taking pictures, I still squeezed out after seeing so many toe-toe, eager faces and voices urging me to give way everywhere. I know that the weather on the top of the mountain changes very quickly, and now it is blue sky and white clouds, maybe it will be covered with thick fog in an instant, and Tianchi will not see anything.

We are all from all over the country to see Tianchi, everyone's wish is the same, if you don't see how disappointed it will be. Standing behind the human wall, I saw that the people in front of me quickly gave way to the people behind after taking a few photos. Long live understanding! Even after watching it for just two minutes, it is also very satisfying.

That's it, in less than ten minutes, the sky was overcast, and the fog was filled.

At that time, I was walking down, only 100 meters away from the top of the mountain, and when I looked back and saw that the blue sky and white clouds were missing from the top of the mountain, I was fortunate to be lucky and saw the most beautiful Tianchi. I am very grateful to God for his favor, so that my trip to Changbai SX Slope to see Tianchi is complete without regrets!

Thank God for good luck! And I must say: Thank God, I am your darling!

Notes:

"Changbai SX Slope Looks at Tianchi", I have been slow to write, and I have never been sure that I can truly and completely express what I have seen, heard and felt. Because in my opinion, my western slope to see the Tianchi is a lucky and rare encounter, on the way to the top, the top of the mountain is cloudy and sunny (just as the tour guide in the scenic area when he saw the weather at the top of Tianchi Mountain, he said, "I stared at the top of the mountain, saw a cloud past, the sky was overcast, I was worried that you could not see, it is not easy to come to a trip. My heart was tormented. I, who have always felt lucky, have no confidence at this time......

In the end, I got my wish and saw the most beautiful Tianchi.
