www.chinanews.cn 2005-01-31 17:24:11
Tianchi of Changbai Mountain, or Baitoushan, is located in southeast
Jilin on the border between China and North Korea. The northeast side of
the lake belongs to Jilin. Changbai Mountain is a compound dormant
volcano in the shape of a shield and has erupted three times since the
16th century. After spilling a large quantity of lava, the crater became
basin-shaped and formed the present Tianchi as water accumulated year
after year. Generally oval in shape, the lake has an average depth of 204
meters and a maximum depth of 373 meters, the deepest of China's mountain
lakes. In addition, it has a gross reservoir capacity of about 2 billion
cubic meters.
