Heaven Lake (Tianchi) on Changbai Mountain is a volcanic crater lake straddling the China-North Korea border. At an elevation of 2,189 m, it is the world's highest volcanic crater lake and the source of the three great rivers of Northeast China — the Songhua, Tumen, and Yalu. The lake's crystal-clear blue waters, surrounded by 16 snow-capped peaks, create a breathtaking alpine panorama. The best viewing season is July to September, when the lake is most likely to be visible above the clouds.
