I was very impressed by Heihe City in Heilongjiang. It is not only a busy port city, but also has a long history. If you have a travel plan in Heilongjiang, you must arrange it. 😄.
[❓What to do]
🔹The other side of Heilongjiang is the Russian city of Bu. The two cities are across the river, so there are many Russian tourists.
🔹The tour can be divided into two parts: the urban area and the ancient city of Aihui. The ancient city is 33 kilometers away from the urban area.
🔹If you arrange a 2-day itinerary, you can play all of them. You can also go to the Russian city of Bu on the other side. You need to apply for a visa at the Heihe port.

We chose the west slope where there are relatively few people. Tickets need to be booked in advance. We closed the mountain due to rain, so we chose to take the kids to dig ginseng and pick blueberries🫐, which was also a great experience. There is a Wanda Resort on the west slope, and the accommodation includes some entertainment activities. You can consider staying for a night to repair. 5️⃣ Yanbian:  🎫 Check-in point: Internet celebrity bullet screen wall-Korean Folk Village-Floating Market-West Market My hometown Qingdao is too close to South Korea, so I am not very interested here~ The streets are full of barbecues.
