The remote Changbai Mountain in Jilin Province, on the border with North Korea, is not a familiar tourist destination nor is it a common theme for artists. As Fu had remarked, “Visiting the Changbai Mountain is not easy; reaching the ‘Heavenly Lake’ [at the mountaintop] is even more difficult. Traveling to this astonishing and superb place is the best event in one’s whole life.” It took Fu five days to complete this remarkable painting, which portrays the lake surrounded by an expansive forest in what appears to be a topographically accurate rendering as if seen from the air.
