The Lake of Heaven
Changbaishan is in Jilin Province,Northeast China.Much of this beautiful,mountainous area is thick forest.Changbaishan is China’s largest nature reserve and it is kept in its natural state for the people of China and visitors from all over the world to enjoy.The land varies in height from 700 meters above sea level to over 2,000 meters and is home to a great diversity of rare plants and animals .Among the rare animals are cranes,black bears ,leopards and tigers.Many people come to Changbaishan to study its unique plants and animals.Others come to walk in the mountains,to see the spectacular waterfalls or to bathe in the hot water pools.However,the attraction that arouses the greatest appreciation in the reserve is Tianchi or the Lake of Heaven.
Tianchi is a deep lake that has formed in the crater of a dead volcano on top of the mountain.The lake is 2,194 meters above sea level,and more than 200 meters deep.In winter the surface freezes over.It takes about an hour to climb from the end of the road to the top of the mountain.When you arrive you are rewarded not only with the sight of its clear waters,but also by the view of the other sixteen mountain peaks that surround Tianchi.
There are many stories told about Tianchi.The most well-known concerns three young women from heaven.They were bathing in Tianchi when a bird flew above them and dropped a small fruit onto the dress of the youngest girl.When she picked up the fruit to smell it,it flew into her mouth.Having swallowed the fruit,the girl became pregnant and later gave birth to a handsome boy.It is said that this boy,who had a great gift for languages and persuasion,is the father of the Manchu people.
If you are lucky enough to visit the Lake of Heaven with your loved one,don’t forget to drop a coin into the clear blue water to guarantee your love will be as deep and lasting as the lake itself.
天 池
长白山在中国东北的吉林省,这个美丽的山区大部分是茂密的森林.长白山是中国最大的自然保护区,保持着它的原始状态,以供中国人民和世界各地的游客们欣赏.这里地面的高度从海拔700米到2000多米不等,是多种多样稀有动植物的生长地.珍稀动物有白鹤、黑熊、豹子和老虎.许多人到长白山来研究珍奇的动植物.另外一些人则是到山里来走一走,看看那些蔚为壮观的瀑布,或者在温水池里泡个澡.然而保护区里最令人欣赏的地方则是天池,或者说是天上的湖.
天池是一个深水湖,是由山顶一个死火山的火山口形成的.湖的海拔高度为2,194米,水的深度超过200米,到冬天湖面就全部结冰了.从路的尽头到山顶约需一个小时.你一到达山顶就会得到回报—你不仅可以看见天池那清澈如镜的湖水,而且还可以看到天池四周的16座山峰.
天池有着许多传说故事,其中最著名的是关于从天上下凡的三位少女的故事.她们在天池洗澡时,突然有一只鸟飞到她们的上方,把一个小小的水果扔在最年轻的那个姑娘的衣服上.当她拿起来闻的时候,水果飞进了她的嘴里.姑娘吞食了这个果子,后来就怀孕了.过了一段时间,她生下了一个漂亮的小男孩.据说这个男孩就是满族人的祖先,具有语言天赋和很强的说服力.
如果你有幸与你所爱的人去游天池,别忘了投一枚硬币到清澈碧蓝的湖水中,以确保你们的爱情像湖水一样深厚、持久.
