What is the difference between the Changbai Mountain eco-friendly bus and the transfer bus?
2 Answers
The difference between the Changbai Mountain eco-friendly bus and the transfer bus lies in the route. Route: The eco-friendly bus operates between various scenic spots within the Changbai Mountain scenic area. The transfer bus is used in the northern scenic area of Changbai Mountain to travel from the Tianchi transfer center to the main peak of Tianchi. Number of rides: The eco-friendly bus can be taken repeatedly as it shuttles between various scenic spots. The transfer bus, which runs from the Tianchi transfer center to the main peak of Tianchi in the northern scenic area, can only be taken for one round trip. The transfer bus is essential for reaching Tianchi, especially if you are visiting the northern slope, unless you don't want to see Tianchi. The eco-friendly bus, on the other hand, is like a public transport vehicle that connects various scenic spots within the mountain, with designated stops where passengers can get off.
Last summer, I went to Changbai Mountain with friends and noticed a clear difference after experiencing the eco-friendly buses and shuttle buses. The eco-friendly buses are like those large green coaches that operate exclusively within the scenic area—quiet and environmentally friendly, as they are electrically powered, reducing pollution. They take us around the mountain to enjoy the scenery, with a guide onboard, making the journey very comfortable. On the other hand, shuttle buses are more like minivans, constantly shuttling between transfer points, such as transporting visitors from the main entrance to the cableway starting point. Their routes are short, frequent, and fast, but they might run on diesel, making them noisier. The two serve different purposes: eco-friendly buses aim to minimize environmental impact while providing a full sightseeing experience, whereas shuttle buses act as supplementary transport for handling peak crowds or remote spots. I recommend tourists prioritize eco-friendly buses to enjoy nature and then use shuttle buses to save time. Remember, Changbai Mountain is at high altitude, so choose your transport based on your physical condition to avoid exhaustion from rushing around.
