Things to note when traveling to Changbai Mountain

Changbai Mountain is located in the Northeast region. It has very unique scenery and dense forests, making it a great tourist destination. However, many friends in the south have some concerns about traveling to the Northeast because they don’t know the local temperature and climate, so they don’t know how to prepare clothes, and they don’t know how to communicate with local residents to achieve better travel results. So, what should you pay attention to when traveling to Changbai Mountain?

1. Do not use an umbrella when visiting Changbai Mountain in summer, because it is easy to attract lightning in the mountainous area (there have been cases of people dying from lightning caused by umbrellas), and it is windy on the mountain, making it difficult to hold an umbrella.

It is recommended to use a disposable raincoat, which only costs 5 yuan in Erdaobaihe Town (ticket) and 10 yuan in the scenic area. If you buy a raincoat in the rain, you will often get it for 20 yuan per piece.

2. Bring as many coats and long pants as possible. Even though it is summer vacation, it is still hot to wear short-sleeved clothes in Erdaobaihe Town, but you still need a coat to enter the scenic area. On the one hand, the temperature on the mountain is low, and the coat can keep out the cold and wind. On a sunny day, it can also block the strong ultraviolet rays from the mountains.

3. If you go to rent a car and negotiate the price by yourself, it is best to agree on the price in advance and agree on who will pay for parking and tolls on the road, so as to avoid encountering unscrupulous drivers and being unhappy about the fares.

4. The scenic area is closed and tourists are not allowed to drive into the scenic area by themselves. They must take environmentally friendly buses to travel between various scenic spots. Therefore, it is best to enter the scenic area with light luggage and bring some lunch, convenience foods and water. For women, please dress as simply and naturally as possible to facilitate mountain climbing.

5. After September 15th every year is the fire prevention period in Changbai Mountain Nature Reserve. During this period, outdoor fires are prohibited. Backpackers are requested not to bring outdoor camping equipment.

6. Because the terrain is complex, it is best to purchase travel accident insurance before leaving for Changbai Mountain so that you can get timely assistance in case of an accident.

7. Try to carry as little cash as possible during your trip to Changbai Mountain. Do not put money in your luggage but keep it close to you. It is best to shop at regular stores and ask for invoices as proof of purchase.

8. Important documents such as ID card, credit card, and air and ship tickets should be carried with you and kept properly.

10. When traveling to Changbai Mountain and staying overnight, be sure to inform your family of the hotel name, phone number, and scheduled stay time. If you are traveling in a group, write down your teammates' room phone numbers.

11. Some taxi drivers who pick up passengers usually work for individual hotels or taxi drivers. They are highly mobile and it is difficult to guarantee the quality of the services they provide. Tourists do not understand the local conditions and once they are cheated, they have nowhere to complain.
