The Ussuri River forms the border between China and Russia. Its basin boasts fertile land, dense primeval forests, and abundant flora and fauna. It has been recognized by the United Nations Environment Programme as an unpolluted river. Here's a travel guide to the Ussuri River: Main Attractions • Hutou Town: Located in Hulin City, Jixi City, Heilongjiang Province, Hutou Town marks the starting point of the Ussuri River. The Songhua River in China and the Iman River in Russia converge at Hutou and flow into the Ussuri River. Here, the "World's First Tiger" statue stands majestically on the banks of the Ussuri River. Measuring 25 meters long, 16 meters high, and weighing 30.4 tons, this massive copper-forged and welded sculpture covers an area of 200 square meters. It has been listed in the Shanghai Great World Guinness Book of Records and serves as a significant cultural landmark and iconic symbol of the Hutou scenic area. You can also visit the ruins of the Japanese Imperial Army's Hutou Fortress, including a museum and underground fortifications, which showcase the evidence of Japan's invasion of China through artifacts and relics. • Zhenbao Island: Located on the Ussuri River, Zhenbao Island was originally a peninsula extending from the Chinese side into the river. Over time, the constant flow of water transformed it into an island. It is the station of the Chinese Sail-860 missile boat and was also one of the sites of the Sino-Soviet border conflict, holding significant historical importance. • Ussuri Town: Situated on an islet at the confluence of the Heilongjiang and Ussuri Rivers, Ussuri Town marks the easternmost point of China's territory, with Russia just across the river. Only one family resides here permanently. Despite its small size, the town has a rich history and abundant tourism resources. It is home to China's largest chum salmon farm. Famous attractions include East Pole Square, Bolshoy Ussuriysky Island, and the Easternmost Outpost of China. • 856 Farm: Located in Mishan City, Jixi City, Heilongjiang Province, 856 Farm boasts a border line and islands. The border line is the lowest boundary formed by the confluence of the Heilongjiang and Ussuri Rivers, while the islands are steep formations created by the impact of the two rivers, offering stunning scenery. Best Time to Visit The Ussuri River offers unique experiences in every season. Spring (March-May) is ideal for witnessing the melting ice and snow and the revival of nature. Summer (June-August) is hot, humid, and rainy, making the riverside a perfect place to escape the heat. Autumn (September-November) showcases the vibrant colors of the "five-flower mountain," with forests ablaze in hues of red, yellow, and orange. Winter (December-February) transforms the landscape into a snow-covered wonderland, perfect for enjoying winter activities. Food Recommendations The local cuisine is characterized by its salty and spicy flavors. Heilongjiang cuisine is diverse, with signature dishes such as braised chum salmon, pickled vegetable powder, and the "Four Stews of Northeast China" (catfish stewed with eggplant, pork stewed with vermicelli, sauerkraut stewed with pork belly, and chicken stewed with mushrooms). Local snacks include Harbin red sausage, pine nut tripe, and Lao Ding Feng pastries. Transportation Guide • Hutou Town: Visitors can fly or take the train to Jixi City. From Jixi Highway Passenger Transport Terminal, take a long-distance bus directly to Hutou Town. There are two buses daily, one in the morning and one in the evening.

Located at the easternmost point of Heixiazi Island in Fuyuan City, Jiamusi City, Heilongjiang Province, the Dongji Pagoda marks the easternmost point of China's land territory and holds significant geographical and cultural importance. Designed in an octagonal shape with a Han and Tang dynasty architectural style, the nine-story pagoda stands 81 meters tall. Its base, a two-tiered square measuring 40 meters by 40 meters, exudes grandeur. The pagoda features a circular plaza adorned with a Taiji pattern. With a diameter of 171 meters, the plaza symbolizes the 171 square kilometers of returned territory of Heixiazi Island. Tortoise and Kylin figures are placed at the two poles of the plaza, representing the harmony of water and fire, and the balance of yin and yang. Sixty carved green stone pillars featuring coiled dragons surround the plaza, 56 representing China's 56 ethnic groups, and four exquisitely carved dragon pillars stand at the four corners of the pagoda base, imbued with profound meaning. The bronze decorations of the Dongji Pagoda, crafted by Chinese arts and crafts master Zhu Bingren, are made entirely of copper, including the bronze tiles. They showcase the imagery and meaning of "Dragon Playing with the Eastern Pearl," seamlessly blending traditional cultural heritage with modern forms to create a timeless architectural masterpiece. The Dongji Pagoda is not only a major tourist attraction but also an important symbol of China's territorial integrity and sovereignty. Its unique geographical location and rich cultural significance attract countless visitors, making it a shining pearl in Northeast China. The completion of the Dongji Pagoda not only demonstrates China's status as a major power but also leaves a valuable cultural legacy and a permanent historical testament for future generations. ⏳Visit Time: Tickets are required to visit the island and cost 145 yuan. Plan for 2 to 3 hours to explore.

Dongji Square is located at the easternmost point of China's land territory. It faces Russia across the Ussuri River to the east and borders Heixiazi Island across the Fuyuan Waterway to the north. Dongji Square, with its back to the motherland and facing east, is shaped like the sharp bow of a warship, symbolizing China as a giant ship setting sail. In the center of the square stands a massive sculpture of the Chinese character "Dong" (East). Above the character is a sphere, like a hand holding up the sun, symbolizing hope and new beginnings. I arrived at Dongji Square before dawn, hoping to catch the first rays of sunlight on the motherland. At this time, the bright moon hung high above the "Dong" sculpture, and the stars twinkled, creating a unique beauty of the night. I walked to the riverbank and waited quietly for the sunrise. As the distance gradually brightened, the river surface shimmered, fishing boats sailed slowly, seabirds soared, and the square transitioned from the quiet of night to the bustle of day. Soon, the sun rose, followed by a solemn flag-raising ceremony. As the national anthem played, the bright five-star red flag fluttered in the wind and rose slowly. The sunlight was brilliant and warm, stirring the hearts of everyone present, as we witnessed the earliest flag-raising ceremony at the easternmost point. The bright sunlight shone on the viewing platform, the "Dong" sculpture, the boundary marker, and into everyone's hearts.

The eastern half is under the jurisdiction of Russia, and the western half is Chinese territory, separated by barbed wire. The No. 259 boundary marker is one of the last boundary markers set up on the island, and it is also a memorial place for the handover of the two countries' territories in 2008. Tourists are basically concentrated here to check in and take photos. This is an important historical memorial of Heixiazi Island and an important historical record of China. The newly built watchtower and two-story building on the island are the new sentry posts built after the return of Heixiazi Island, replacing the previous Wusu Town sentry posts and becoming the real "First Sentry Post in the East", guarding the east of the motherland. It is because of the Sino-Russian Middle East Road incident that Heixiazi Island was occupied by the Soviet Union for 79 years from 1929 to 2008. In 2008, the territorial dispute over Heixiazi Island was settled, and half of the territory of Heixiazi Island returned to China.

Heixiazi Island is located in Fuyuan City, Jiamusi City, Heilongjiang Province. It is located on the southwest side of the main channel at the intersection of the Heilongjiang River and the Ussuri River. It is the easternmost point of the motherland's territory and the earliest place to see the sun in our country. Heixiazi Island has been our territory since ancient times. On September 29, 1929, due to the China Eastern Railway Incident, the Northeastern Army was defeated and occupied by the Soviet Army! Since 1954, Chinese fishermen have been unable to land on the island. On February 23, 1964, China and the Soviet Union began negotiations on its ownership. By October 14, 2004, during Russian President Vladimir Putin’s visit to China, China and Russia signed the " Supplementary Agreement between the People's Republic of China and the Russian Federation on the Eastern Sector of the Sino-Russian Boundary", the boundary dispute between the two parties has been settled, Heixiazi Island was divided into two, and the half of the island close to China on the west side is owned by our country. On October 14, 2008, China and Russia held the unveiling ceremony of the China-Russia boundary monument on Heixiazi Island, marking the official return of the approximately 171 square kilometers of land on the west side of Heixiazi Island and its associated waters. During the summer vacation, the family went to Mohe to search for the north. After returning to Harbin, they flew to Fuyuan to complete their visit to the East Pole of the motherland. Heixiazi Island is currently a very large tourist attraction. There are no permanent residents, so you have to buy a ticket to cross the bridge to enter. From the East Pole Pagoda (Figure 1), the commanding heights on the island, you can overlook Khabarovsk (today's Khabarovsk, Figure 3). The nearest Russian settlement on the island (Figure 4) is nearby. At the entrance of Dongji Pagoda, you can spend 30 yuan to take a battery car to the easternmost boundary monument No. 259/4 to see the handover ceremony (Picture 6-8). According to the tour guide and the battery car master, it used to be open, but there are always Unconscious tourists like to go around and take a look behind the boundary markers. This is illegal border crossing! Relevant departments had to set up isolation nets. Now it is difficult to get close to the boundary marker, which really makes us latecomers cry... There is an old Soviet military camp site at the entrance of Heixiazi Island Wetland Park (Figure 9-11). It is now Provincial cultural relics protection units bear witness to the history of occupation. The Bear Garden is a great place for families to visit. There are more than a hundred black bears inside, and you can buy carrots to feed them. It is said that there are still wild black bears on the island, so Heixiazi Island lives up to its name! The exit of Xiongyuan is the Easternmost Post Office (Picture 13). Compared with the Northernmost Post Office building in Mohe, this place is much simpler. It is just an inconspicuous business hall. Don’t miss it. Don’t rush back to the city after leaving the island. Be sure to go to Dongji Square (Figure 14-20). This was the easternmost point of our country’s land before the return of Heixiazi Island. Witness the intersection of the Heilongjiang and Ussuri rivers, and the square There are three boundary monuments on which you can take photos and check in. To the north, you can see the Orthodox church built overnight by the Russian side at the southern end of Heixiazi Island... With a trip to Heilongjiang, you can visit both the Arctic and East Pole of your motherland. It’s really worth it!

Fuyuan, under the jurisdiction of Jiamusi City in Heilongjiang Province, is located in the triangular area where the Heilongjiang and Ussuri Rivers converge, facing Russia across the river. Fuyuan is the easternmost city on China's land and the first place in China to see the sunrise. Fuyuan is a lovely small town, perfect for a one-day tour. 1️⃣ Watching the Sunrise (Summer sunrise around 3 AM) When in Fuyuan, you must watch the sunrise. The two best spots are Dongji Pavilion and Dongji Square. ☀️ Dongji Pavilion The highest point in Fuyuan, a Tang-style building, is the best place to watch the sunrise and sunset. The lights come on around 7:30 PM, which is also beautiful. Pros: Located in the city, you can go back to the hotel for a nap after watching the sunrise. Cons: Requires climbing, about 20 minutes (some taxis know the gate lock code and can drive directly to the foot of Dongji Pavilion). It's windy on the mountain, so wear more clothes to watch the sunrise. ☀️ Dongji Square A landmark in Fuyuan, where you can see the distinct confluence of the differently colored Fuyuan Waterway and the Ussuri River. Pros: Open view. Cons: About 30 kilometers from the city, a bit far, with few accommodations nearby. The entrance road to the square is narrow, and parking on the roadside can cause traffic jams. ☀️☀️ If driving yourself, choose Dongji Pavilion if you want to stay in the city and not be too tired; if hiring a car, choose Dongji Square, and after watching the sunrise, you can visit nearby places like Heixiazi Island and the Eastern First Post. 2️⃣ Heixiazi Island You need to take a scenic shuttle bus to enter: Wetland Park (former Russian barracks site) - Eastern First Tower (handover monument, need to take a 30 yuan electric car) - Wild Bear Park (feed the bears). The shuttle bus stops at each station on the way there and goes directly to the entrance on the way back. Tickets: 110 yuan/adult Shuttle bus: 40 yuan 3️⃣ Fish Museum A freshwater fish museum, with live fish on the first floor and specimens on the second floor, including huge sturgeons. The glass walls and glass corridors are great for photos with fewer people. Since these are all fish you can eat and might have eaten, it feels like being at the Dongji Fish Market. Tickets: 50 yuan/adult (5 yuan cheaper on Ctrip than on-site) ☀️ Food Tips Prices in Fuyuan are not low, especially if you want to have a good freshwater fish feast. The Dongji Fish Market is fresh and interesting, relatively cheap. Vegetables are also a bit more expensive, but the portions are large. Hezhe ethnic specialty dish Talaha (Hezhe language for grilled raw fish), Ussuri River fresh fish slightly grilled with fish skin, half-cooked, dipped in special sour and spicy sauce, a must-try for sashimi lovers. There is a coffee shop called Moyu Coffee in the city, good quality and cheap, personally like the Orange C Americano. ☀️☀️ One-Day Tour: Watch the sunrise at Dongji Pavilion - Heixiazi Island - Dongji Square - Fish Museum - Riverside Park - Dongji Night Market/Freshwater Fish Feast/Dongji Pavilion Sunset/Lighting
