4.5Wudalianchi (Five Big Linking Lakes)(56 reviews) - scenic old cone volcano landscape Friday: 7:00 AM - 5:00 PM Bodies of Water • Mountains • Lookouts
I saw eight or so volcanoes. There are five lakes joined together with a lava scape. You need to ride a shuttle cart down to the lakes through a combination of lava fields and relatively untouched woodlands. lots of pretty birch trees along the way. If you've been to Hawaii it might not blow you away but if you've never seen lava and you're in China, go for it. It's a major trek to get here though unless you're in Harbin or vicinity.See more..
4.0Xiandong Hill(3 reviews) - A pleasant walk Friday: 8:00 AM - 9:00 PM Mountains
This hill is a pleasant walk with a good path to the top from where one has a fine view in the evening over the neighbouring country side and city.See more..
After visiting Jui Zhai Gou, the next must-visit area is Huang Long (not spelt as 'Wang Long'). The road leading to this attraction is already scenic. The key attraction that differentiates this from Jui Zhao Gou is its Guest Greeting Ponds, which are small pools of accumulated water arranged as steepies. The entrance starts from 3,100 metres, and the 1st attraction begins from 3,200 metres. So, altitude acclimatisation is important or it is a struggle going up to midpoint of the park. Do put aside 3 hours to go ascend and get back to the start point. Carry light. Umbrella, water and camera are must. Don't be too worried about toilets as they are dotted along the pathway. There are small outlets selling food, dtinks and oxygen. Do apply sunblock before going up, and a windbreaker as once the sun sets of covered by clouds, the park can be chilly. At the base of the park, just about 200 metres is a fast food joint. It is crowded, but the food can save the hunger...take you time during the ascend to avoid fainting spills or vomitting...See more..
