The world's highest crater lake emerges as a piece of jade on the main peak of Changbai Mountain. In ancient folklore, the 12-million-year-old lake is home to mysterious creatures.

Changbai Mountain in northeast China is named after its iconic, perpetually white snow-capped peaks. The 14-episode Changbai Mountain Series reveals a "natural museum," as it is one of the best-preserved forest ecosystems in the world.
