Changbai Mountains, Mountain range spanning Northeast China and North Korea.
The Changbai Mountains feature multiple peaks exceeding 2000 meters, with the highest point reaching 2744 meters at Paektu Mountain.
The mountain range first appeared in ancient Chinese texts under the name Buxian Shan and received its current name during the Liao dynasty.
The mountains hold special meaning for the Qing dynasty founders, who considered this region their ancestral homeland linked to supernatural origins.
The area receives between 760 to 1270 millimeters of annual precipitation, with snow covering the peaks for more than six months yearly.
The region contains Heaven Lake, recognized as China's deepest alpine lake, formed within a volcanic crater at the mountain summit.
