The sacred lake located at the summit of the main peak of Changbai Mountain is a must-see attraction. Tianchi Lake on Changbai Mountain is located at the top of the volcanic cone of the main peak, like a bright pearl inlaid among the majestic peaks. It resembles a fallen leaf, slightly oval in shape, and is a crater lake naturally formed after a volcanic eruption. In winter, Changbai Mountain Tianchi is covered by ice and snow. Surrounded by the main peaks, amidst the serene and expansive scenery, the sea of clouds surges mightily. Wherever there is a mantle of white snow, the charm of snow flows. Along with the occasional rising water mist, it appears even more serene and expansive.
