Changbai Mountain
 
 
No. 93-9 (1993.9.3.)
In the east of Jilin Province, northeast China
lies Changbai Mountain
where there is a crater surrounded by hot springs,
jagged rocks, and
immense forests as a result of volcanic eruption. The accumulated water
of this crater gave birth to a lake called "Tianchi", meaning
"pond in the
heaven" which looks like a sapphire carved into high peaks.
In 1961, a nature reserve was established here by the State with a
total
area of 190,000 ha.. In 1980, it was admitted
into The International
Man and Biosphere Reserve Network. |
