The white dew had just passed, and the weather was slowly turning cooler.
When the southerners are still soaked in the summer heat during the day; the leaves of the northern country have been quietly dyed red, and they are about to become a fairy tale world.
For the first trip in autumn, it is better to choose a sunny morning, get on a train to the north country, and walk through the forested forest.
The picture shows the train along the forest around Shenyang
Blue sky, clear water, yellow leaves, red maple, waterfall, hot spring... Every frame of Van Gogh's oil painting of the northern autumn scene can actually find the answer in Changbai Mountain.
In previous years, to go to Changbai Mountain, we needed a plane to transfer to the airport bus; or a high-speed rail and then a chartered car, which was time-consuming and expensive.
But this year is different! At the end of August, the national railway network revealed that -
"The most beautiful 'forest high-speed railway' (Shenyang to Jiamusi high-speed railway Changbaishan to Dunhua south section) is about to open!"
This means that the era of sitting in a hard seat for more than 20 hours, waiting for the airport bus at the airport, carpooling/chartering cars being arbitrarily charged high prices by drivers, is about to go back!
The era of high-speed rail belonging to Changbai Mountain has finally arrived!!!
Later, from Beijing to Changbai Mountain - 8 hours
Shenyang to Changbai Mountain - 4 hours
Harbin to Changbai Mountain - 4 hours
Changchun to Changbai Mountain - 2 hours
Yanji - Changbai Mountain 1 hour
Dunhua - Changbai Mountain 0.5 hours
At present, the Baidun section of the railway has completed static acceptance, and it is expected to be put into trial operation on November this year.
It should be noted that the most beautiful time period for autumn in Changbai Mountain is only more than 20 days: starting from mid-September and ending in early October.
After the opening of the high-speed rail, bring your loved ones and go to see the autumn of Changbai Mountain!

Advise you to be sure to come to Changbai Mountain in the autumn!
After an autumn rain, Changbai Mountain became Van Gogh's oil painting: the coniferous forest still maintains the evergreen of the four seasons,
Maple leaves, birch, larch, and beauty pine are blown into fiery red, golden yellow, and purple by the autumn wind, which is extremely beautiful.

When the train to the northern town, through the autumn colorful forest.
In my mind, a small poem suddenly appeared from nowhere:
"The train is the first quote for autumn. No matter where you go, it's far away."
It should be known that the winter in the northern mountainous areas is long, the temperature difference between day and night is large, and the address structure near the scenic spot is complex.
For high-speed rail, whether it is construction, or the maintenance of equipment in the later winter is quite difficult.
The construction of this section of high-speed rail to Changbai Mountain began in August 2017 and took four years to complete.
Not only have we overcome technical problems, but we have also strived to achieve the ultimate in aesthetics and environmental protection.
The architectural curve of the whole station draws on the mountain outline of Changbai Mountain; the station shape explains the concept of "the source of the three rivers".
Even the color of the roof's building materials is inspired by the snow of Changbai Mountain.
As far as possible along the railway line, it is integrated with the surrounding forests to reduce the division of land along the line.
In front of the station, a large number of original forest landscapes have been preserved, creating a "high-speed rail station in the forest".
Walking through the forest, you can only see the greenery in summer, the babbling of water, and the birch leaves shaking gold in autumn.
If you're lucky, you'll also encounter one or two forest elves.

If you have not seen the world's highest volcanic lake - Tianchi, the original appearance, the trip to Changbai Mountain will definitely have regrets.
Although the main peak of Changbai Mountain is known as "a thousand years of snow and pine, straight up to the first peak in the world";
But locals will tell you that the best time to see Tianchi is actually in autumn – there are few beautiful people and the air visibility is high.

The first time to go to Tianchi, it is best to develop the early, fully equipped north slope.
Take a direct buggy ride to the top of the mountain and walk 300 meters to overlook Tianchi.
In September and October, the lake has not yet begun to freeze completely, and it is still azure;
But the summit may already have white snow. Standing on the north slope, you can also see the boardwalk built by The Koreans on the east slope that leads to the lake.

Changbai Mountain is not only Tianchi. In the underground forest, stand on the cliff overlooking the entire fantasy forest at the bottom of the valley; you can also go directly to the bottom of the valley to explore and follow the footsteps of the little squirrel to find autumn.

The most suitable leisure and entertainment activity after climbing the mountain is to go to the hot springs.
After bathing in the pure natural sulfur hot spring of Gollum bubbling, and then eating a special hot spring chicken egg and hot spring corn, it is not in vain.
/The bustle of the northern town, full of free atmosphere /
Erdaobaihe Town is located on both sides of the Erdaobai River, which is the first town under changbai mountain and the most beautiful 20 towns in the world.
You can rent a bicycle to wander slowly down the street, go to the beauty pine forest area, breathe in the fresh air, and then go to the Autumn Duck Park in Warsaw to feed the autumn sand ducks.

The ancient city of Neyin at the foot of Changbai Mountain is like a time machine!
Gudukou, Sowan Province, Shaman Prayer Hall, Na Yin Old Dye Shop... The Manchu Jurchen tribe, which has disappeared for 400 years, reappears here.

In the early morning, stroll along the path of the ancient house in the forest and watch the cooking smoke coming out of the chimney of the cottage;
At sunset, go to the source of the Three Rivers to wait for a sunset, and shoot a large film with your hand.

After going to Changbai Mountain, there is no need to rush to punch in the net red attractions.
If you find a café on the yalu river's boardwalk, you can clearly see the houses, factories, small trains of the North Korean people on the other side, and even occasionally the North Korean people wash clothes on the other side of the river.

After watching such a picture for a long time, my mind seemed to suddenly return to the eighties and nineties, and time suddenly became so slow and slow
/ In the foothills of the forest, lie and watch the starry sky /
Autumn is high and refreshing, and the sky visibility is relatively high.
As long as it is sunny, in the forest campsite away from the lights, you can clearly see the vast galaxy without climbing to the top of the mountain.

On the side of the street, sausages, cakes, seaweed wrapped rice, ginseng chicken soup, barbecue fragrance.
In recent days, snow clams in the forest, wild mushrooms in the mountains, fungus, and various mountain vegetables have just emerged... The food in the Changbai Mountain area is really too much to say.
If you want to get closer to the scenic spot, you can go to Erdao Baihe Town, and authentic foodies must go to Yanji next to it.

If you don't know what to eat, it is not wrong to ask the driver master who usually goes to the most shop!
Order a bowl of plain-looking beef soup rice, accompanied by Korean characteristic yellow beef dipping sauce, and the store's own rice wine, the healing power is full.

Firewood + volcanic stone instead of ordinary baking pan, when sauerkraut pork belly and small ribs are lined up on the stone and the oil bubbles. I don't know how many people are included in their list of must-eat late-night foods.

Friends with a big appetite should try various flavors of rice packets. Pork belly and elbow meat are a perfect match. The amount of one meal packet properly addresses the stomachs of two people.
Most shops will prepare guests to experience Korean costumes for free, which is also considered an "immersive food punch", right?

Come to the northeast, how can you not eat an authentic northeast iron pot stew?
Compared with the exquisite Korean ingredients, the grand and heroic iron pot stew is mostly local.
While watching the two-person performance that is staged regularly every day, while eating chicken stewed mushrooms, it is even if you experience the life of half of the Northeastern people.
/Ginseng Chicken Soup/
Recommendation: Master Zhang ginseng chicken soup, although it is a chain store, the taste is still more authentic in Yanji
The weather gradually cooled down, and in the evening came a bowl of warm ginseng chicken soup. The chicken was breaded with dates, glutinous rice, and ginseng.
The glutinous rice stew is warm and sticky, and the chicken is super nice with dipping sauce!
Chicken soup is also sweet and warm, and you can feel the warmth even when you are on the go.
The cuisine around Changbai Mountain has a strong Northeastern flavor and preserves Korean specialties quite completely. It only takes a day or two, and it's really not enough to eat
