The Lucky Journey to Heaven Lake: A Guide to Avoiding Pitfalls When Traveling to Changbai Mountain with Kids

Who understands! The moment we saw Heaven Lake at Changbai Mountain with the kids, all the travel hassles were worth it ❤️ A few days ago, the park was still closed, which made us very anxious, but luckily Heaven Lake "opened up" for us! 🚄 Transportation & Location Take the high-speed train from Shenyang, 2 hours to Changbai Mountain Station, then a taxi to the North Slope costs only about ten yuan, very family-friendly for those with kids! Stay in Erdaobaihe Town at the foot of the North Slope, convenient for food and lodging. This is also the most developed area, making it easier to manage kids without too much hassle. 💰 Costs & Park Entry Experience - Full-price ticket for the scenic area is 225 yuan (includes shuttle bus ticket, a must-buy!) - Shuttle bus ticket to the main peak of Heaven Lake is 80 yuan per person, charged separately 📌 Tested details: - Private cars are not allowed into the scenic area 🚧, you must switch to the shuttle bus at the distribution center; the whole trip takes about 1.5 hours - Time-specific tickets allow entry 1 hour in advance, don’t arrive too early to avoid waiting; we entered at 8:30 am when there were very few people - Don’t leave luggage at the park’s storage! It requires a deposit and refund process; it’s more convenient to store luggage at the hotel 🗺️ Simplified Route for Traveling with Kids Prioritize these spots to save energy and avoid detours: 1. Heaven Lake: Best lighting in the morning! Get there early with the kids, no competition for photo spots, and you can tell them the legends of Heaven Lake. 2. Changbai Waterfall: The waterfall is still roaring in winter and is very impressive! Must try the hot spring eggs, 3 for 10 yuan; beware that the duck eggs are salted duck eggs, don’t get confused. 3. Green Pool (Lvyuan Pool): You can skip the small Heaven Lake! Take the bus directly to Green Pool, which is emerald green in summer and stunning for kids to see. 4. Underground Forest: A treasure spot for family hiking! The wooden boardwalk is flat and easy to walk, kids can observe trees and listen to the sound of the stream. 🏨 Accommodation Tips - Changbai Mountain Waterscape Villa: Instagram-style glass and wood cabins, very atmospheric for staying with kids - Changbai Mountain Original Folk Hotel: Has family-friendly rooms and offers folk activity experiences
