Some helpful info I found after reading previous poster's suggestions. Directions to CBS from major cities in Jilin:

1) Take HSR to Changchun, which is directly linked to Dalian, Shenyang, and Haerbin.

2) Take HSR from Changchun to Dunhua or further east to Antu.

3) Drive 4:45 from Dunhua to Songjianghe (ski resort), or 3:45 (Erdao)Baihe (N entrance to CBS Heaven lake).

Alternately, fly into and/or out of NBS airport.
