Changbai Mountain, the powder snow paradise at 41°N latitude in China, is simply the pinnacle of winter tourism.
This is a fairy-tale kingdom covered in ice and snow. You don’t have to travel all the way to Finland to experience the romance of a reindeer sleigh gliding through cedar forests, or the ethereal beauty of misty rime ice along the Demon World Drift. Home to two world-class ski resorts—Wanda and Luneng—they offer runs for every skill level, from beginner slopes to backcountry terrain. You can also visit Tianchi, the highest volcanic lake in China.
