Tianhua Mountain Scenic Area
天华山风景区
A granite mountain area in northwestern Kuandian, known for its peak forests, strangely shaped rocks and autumn foliage. It ranks just behind Tianqiaogou on Ctrip ratings.
Tianhuashan is located in northern Guanshui Town in Kuandian. It is part of the Changbai Mountain range, and is a 4A-rated scenic area and a national nature reserve. The park is known for its granite peaks, rocks resembling animals and objects, and primeval secondary forest. Hiking trails and boardwalks link several viewing platforms with views over the layered mountains. In autumn, red leaves cover the slopes, and the scenery is comparable to Tianqiaogou but with fewer people. A full round-trip hike takes about 4 to 5 hours, and some sections have steep steps, so you'll need a reasonable level of fitness. Ticket prices follow the official announcements from the park. The site is about 40 km from Kuandian county town and is best reached by car. It is often scheduled on the day before or after Tianqiaogou.
