On December 24, 2021, the G3645 train from Changbaishan Station to Beijing Chaoyang Station departed from Changbaishan Station, marking the official opening of the Dunbai high-speed railway.
This is the first high-speed railway to enter Changbai Mountain, and it is also the most beautiful forest high-speed rail line in China, passing through the magnificent forest sea along the way, which can be called China's version of the "Snow Country Train".

Changbai Mountain is a dormant volcano that took several eruptions to form its current landscape.
Entering the Changbai Mountain tour, you can choose to start from the east, south, west and north slopes, because the east slope is in North Korea, so only the south slope, the north slope, and the west slope can be entered, and the scenery along the four slopes is different.
1. The essence of Changbai Mountain
01. Changbai Mountain Tianchi
Changbai Mountain Tianchi is a lake formed by accumulating water after a long geological period after volcanic eruptions.
Tianchi water is mainly derived from atmospheric precipitation, surface runoff and groundwater, the lake surface is frozen in early December every year, until the middle of June of the following year, is the world's largest area, deepest water, the highest altitude volcanic lake.
The average depth of Tianchi is 204 meters, and the high transparency combined with such a depth of water is enough to scatter and reflect blue-purple light like seawater, showing sapphire-like colors.
02. Changbai Waterfall
The water of Changbai Mountain Tianchi flows down the Chengcha River to form a Changbai Waterfall with a drop of 68 meters, which is also listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's largest waterfall of volcanic lake, and is also the source of the Songhua River, the third largest river in China.
03. Underground forest
On the way down the north slope, you can also come to the underground forest, also known as the valley bottom forest.
It is the lowest elevation attraction in Changbai Mountain, and due to orogeny or volcanic activity, a large area of the formation collapsed, causing the entire forest to sink to the bottom of the valley. The ancient trees here are towering and scattered, showing a natural beauty that is not trimmed.

The Jinjiang Grand Canyon is about 14 kilometers long, integrating valleys, strange peaks, strange rocks, ancient trees, rare grasses, and xiushui, known as lava bonsai, which can be compared with the Grand Canyon of the United States.
The valley is low and humid, and the old forest is covered with moss, making this "volcanic natural lava bonsai garden" full of natural and primitive state, and occasionally squirrels are infested.
