Changbai Mountain is a sleeping volcano, and its last eruption occurred several hundred years ago. This led to a plateau forming on top of the mountain and, over the years, water gradually filled the volcanic opening. Due to its mountaintop location, people started calling it Lake of Heaven. The lake is oval in shape and is about 13 square kilometers in size. It`s about 200 meters deep on average, with the deepest point, 373 meters. There are 16 mountain peaks surrounding Tianchi. The strongest visual impact comes on a sunny day, when the white clouds are reflected in the water and it seems that the mountain and the lake are in the clouds. But getting a fine day at this altitude and in this location isn`t easy. You might be lucky.
