The whole journey is just a runway, which takes two days. A day should be getting up early and getting greedy late, and you will be very tired and have no time to rest and sightseeing.
At least Changbai County should visit Lingguang Tower, buy some white jade, visit waterfalls and volcanic rocks in Shiwudaogou Scenic Area, and eat Yalu River fish along the way (it is recommended to arrange it near Sidaogou in Linjiang). There is a young Korean copper mine opposite Weisha River not far from Linjiang City. You can park with binoculars. If there are rafts from North Korea along the way and Yunfeng Reservoir is a scenic spot, you can also visit General Cemetery. There are five female peaks not too far away (there is no time).
Therefore, it is recommended to arrange a three-day tour of Yalu River, which is relatively easy.
I took the highway along the Yangtze River last year 1 1 month, Changchun-Huinan triangle longwan-Linjiang-Shiwudaogou-Changbai-South Slope-West Slope-North Slope-Erdaobaihe-Dunhua-Changchun. Very good. But I go from north to south. The only route that coincides with you is along the river. I have to say that only a few (short) sections of the road behind Linjiang are under construction, but they are all accessible by car.
