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
'Tianchi' which means 'The Lake of Heaven'.
Apart from the crystal clear water, there are
big impressive rock formations around Tianchi.
No plants, no animals, just a mountaintop setting
with water and stone.
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.
