Is the best scenic spot in Changbai Mountain Scenic Area being circled and charged separately? Official response
The best scenic spots in Changbai Mountain Scenic Area in Jilin have been surrounded, and you need to pay 10 yuan to go and enjoy the scenery? On September 6th, a netizen reported that she encountered a second fee in the scenic area. On the 7th, the scenic area management responded to Jimu News reporters that there was no such thing as a secondary fee. The scenic spot had a merchant charging 30 yuan for taking photos, and tourists could go there for free without taking photos.
"Didn't she come in with money? This point is not allowed, and there will be charges." On the morning of September 6th, a netizen posted a video reflecting that she was stopped at a scenic spot in Changbai Mountain, Jilin, and had to pay to enter.
"The trip to Changbai Mountain is great everywhere, but some people who don't know where to come from will hold onto the best attractions and spend 10 yuan. When we bought tickets, we were not informed of such hidden consumption! This will be looked down upon by tourists, which is not in line with the grandeur of Changbai Mountain," said the netizen.
The entrance to the scenic spot is guarded by someone
In the video posted by the netizen, the entrance and exit of the scenic spot are blocked with ropes and tables, and staff are maintaining order. A notice board next to it reads "Wide angle panoramic snapshot costs 30 yuan". In the video, it can be seen that there are many tourists at the high observation points.
It is understood that this is a scenic spot of Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain Scenic Area. According to public information, Changbai Mountain Scenic Area is located in Antu County, Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture, Jilin Province, adjacent to North Korea.

On September 7th, a journalist from Jimu News called the Tourism and Culture Bureau of the Changbai Mountain Protection and Development Zone Management Committee, and the staff stated that the matter was explained by Changbai Mountain Tourism Co., Ltd.
The staff of Changbai Mountain Tourism Co., Ltd. told reporters that they had noticed the complaint made by the netizen online, but what she said was not true. That scenic spot has merchants taking photos for tourists, and each one costs 30 yuan for quick pickup. If tourists do not need photography services, they can also enter the entrance for free. Due to the large number of visitors here, regardless of whether they take photos or not, they often need to queue up at the entrance. The above netizens may mistakenly think that they need to queue up and pay in order to enter.
"In addition to a 105 yuan ticket and necessary transportation fees within the scenic area, there will never be a secondary charge. It is impossible to spend 10 yuan to visit the scenic spot," said the staff member.
