Changbai Waterfall

Apart from Heavenly Lake (Tianchi), the main waterfall in Changbaishan (Changbai pubu) probably exerts the strongest appeal for travelers in this region. This is one of many waterfalls that lead off from the lake, but this one, near the northern corner, is the largest and most famous.

The falls are the terminus of the 1250 meter long Chengcuo River. The falls are known for both their silvery sheen, and the mammoth rock at the upper ledge that splits the flow into two.The water flows over the edge, hits the pool 68 meters below, and the sound of this can be heard for miles around. The pool below then splits into two itself, and these are the source of both the Songhua and Tumen Rivers.

The falls can be reached by heading 500m to the east of the carpark.
