Changbai Mountains are located in the southeast part of Jilin province, with 16 peaks over 2,500 m high. The main peak is Mount Baitou, with an altitude of 2,691 m.

On the top of Mount Baitou lies Heavenly Pond which is formed by water accumulated in a crater. Enriched by precipitious mountains, the pond is as clear as a mirror. The pond offers a pleasing scene with its shimmering water against the green mountains.

Changbai Mountains are a great treasures house of natural resources. The mountain area is the original producer of the well-known "three treasures of the Northeast" i.e., ginseng, mink and pilose antler.
