Where is the Changbai Mountain Range located?

Changbai Mountain is located in the southeast of Jilin Province, China, bordering on North Korea. It is also the dividing line between China and North Korea with Tianchi as the boundary, with North Korea accounting for about 52% and China accounting for about 48%! Changbai Mountain in China is divided into three slopes around Tianchi, the north slope, the west slope and the south slope. The three slopes are not in the same administrative region, of which the north slope is in Yanji City, Antu County, Erdaobaihe Town, the west slope is in baishan city, Fusong County, Songjianghe Town, and the south slope is in baishan city, Changbai Korean Autonomous County! That is to say, the whole Changbai Mountain is in Jilin Province, the northern slope belongs to Jilin Province, Yanbian Prefecture and Yanji City, and the western and southern slopes belong to Jilin Province and baishan city.

Changbai Mountain Range is the birthplace of Yalu River, Songhua River and Tumen River. It is the birthplace of Manchu in China and the sacred mountain of Manchu culture. The total area of Changbai Mountain range is 1964 square kilometers, and the core area is 758 square kilometers. The highest peak in Bai Yunfeng is 269 1 m above sea level, which is the highest peak in Northeast China. Changbai Mountain has outstanding universal value, excellent natural quality and rich cultural connotation in ecology, biology, geology and history.

Changbai Mountain's word "Changbai" also has a beautiful meaning, that is, being together for a long time and growing old together represents people's yearning and praise for loyalty and happy love. Changbai Mountain was first recorded in China more than 4,000 years ago. Shan Hai Jing called it Buxian Mountain, Tutai Mountain in Northern Wei Dynasty, Taibai Mountain in Tang Dynasty and Changbai Mountain in Jin Dynasty.

When Changbai Mountain was basically formed about 4.5 billion years ago, there was a gap at a point in the eastern hemisphere, and this gap was the whole Changbai Mountain area.

In about 25 million years, Changbai Mountain has experienced four volcanic eruptions. Basalt magma starts from the upper mantle, rises along the huge cracks in the earth's crust, and spews out of the surface with great energy. Magma with strong impact will eject protolith and pre-solidified rock, volcanic ash, water vapor and so on. Into the air, and then fall around or on one side of the crater under the action of gravity and wind, accumulating into various volcanic landforms. Because of the low viscosity of basaltic magma, it flows faster and longer on the surface, forming a vast basalt platform. The bases of the main peaks of Changbai Mountain, such as Nangang Mountain, Changhong Mountain and Yingbi Mountain, which are distributed in the northwest of Changbai Mountain area, are all basalt platforms formed in this period.
