The Yalu River originates from Changbai Mountain, and Changbai Mountain Tianchi is the source of the three rivers. Therefore, the Yalu River flows down the southern slope of Changbai Mountain, with picturesque scenery on both sides. It is only wide enough to be called a stream and appears very shallow. However, the water flow is very rapid, probably due to a large drop in elevation. The river water is blue, and in some places it appears ink-like, which is very beautiful. There is a North Korean sentry post on the opposite bank of the river, which is less than 10 meters wide.
