Chang Bai Shan (North Mountain) + Antu

Yaa Engrish!


The waterfall, it is surprising big since I am so far away you barley notice it is even in the picture.

We made it to the top after we thought we were going to die on our ride up to the top of the mountain.

Yeah I don't you can border hop into Korea from China through a volcano covered in ice and snow. All power to you if you want to try.
Finally a couple of us got the time off to head out of town so we planned a vacation out. Somewhere better than just poping over to Changchun for a 3D movie and some foreign food.

We took a train to Antu, this tiny little town. I'm not what to call it but it sure was boring there.

Eggs and corn cooked in hot springs.


Me flashing north Korea. LOOK AT THESE!
Ended up taking a taxi to a small water fall, a tiny hike through what a Chinese person would call a forest. before we went to the main exhibit. Chang Bai Shan Mountain where there was another waterfall much bigger in size and a hot spring where they cooked food in the water. We went on the scariest ride up the side of this mountain before we made it to the top.(there were several points I thought I was going to die, death by falling down the side of this mountain in a vehicle that this Chinese guy was driving like an insane maniac because he wanted to get off work on time.) At this time of year the water was still frozen over. All in all a great trip.
