About Wuying National Forest Park

One of Asia's largest, most complete and most representative gateways to primeval Korean pine forest. On entering the park you will see the 'Shaoqi' train; further in, wooden boardwalks lead through forest on every side. The most worthwhile sight is Tianci Lake (天赐湖). Its surface is still as water, and in the distance stretches of pine forest are reflected beneath the blue sky, a truly exquisite scene.

Wudalianchi Scenic Area

Wudalianchi Scenic Area

Wudalianchi is famed at home and abroad for its exceptionally well-preserved volcanic landscape, rare anywhere in the world, and for its mineral water. The scenic area is not well suited to winter visits: the stark black-and-white desolation offers none of the colour of spring and summer. May to September is the best time to visit. Standing at the crater of Laoheishan, the lava terrain makes you feel the wild, primordial landscape of millions of years ago. Best of all, looking down at the lake from the crater summit, the water shows shades of yellow, orange, green and blue, a colourful display produced by the different mineral content of the lava. Wonder awaits at every turn, and the lava caves are equally enchanting. On the north side of Xijiaodebu Mountain, the Crystal Palace cave will leave every visitor awestruck. When you have had your fill of scenery, you can soak in the hot springs.
