Guest User: Staying at this hotel, breakfast gave me no small surprise ✨ Seeing the wooden sign hanging in the kitchen window, you can get up early to eat a bowl of hot and cooked pasta, especially warm heart. There is also homemade yellow Taiping fruit canned, sour and sweet, eat the taste of hand-cooked, not the sweet taste of canned factory. The steaming area is also very real, pumpkin, carrot, sweet potato soft sweet, light and stomach. The overall breakfast is grounded, all home-cooked, comfortable and practical, and I am very satisfied with living here.

Anonymous User: I didn't expect the hotel to be our surprise on this business trip. It was clean and tidy, with smart remote control, especially Tmall Genie. The sound effect was super good. I took a shower and listened to the song. The hotel experience was super high. The aroma in the hotel lobby smells good. The hotel laundry room has a set of washing machines, and it is a bit long to wait in line. . .

Guest User: The location of the hotel is very good. Although it is far from the city, it is very quiet. There is no idle person waiting for the oversized parking lot in front of the door. If you want to stop, then stop. Haha, the lobby is still more atmospheric. The first choice for entertaining guests. The breakfast is also very satisfied. It is the kind of clean and hygienic. Appetite I came here for a business trip. I lived comfortably and didn’t want to go to another house. The price was reasonable and close to the people. I would recommend it to friends.

Three rivers converge in splendor, the easternmost land holds hidden charm | Jiamusi three-day all-region in-depth travel guide Overlooking the magnificent confluence of the Songhua River, Heilongjiang River, and Ussuri River, Jiamusi offers both the warm, everyday life of a northeastern river city and the ultimate romance of the country’s easternmost point. Unlike bustling trendy cities, here you’ll find border landscapes, tens of thousands of acres of pristine wetlands, untouched forest mysteries, and the unique culture of the Hezhe ethnic group. Each season has its own charm: vibrant spring, cool and peaceful summer, colorful autumn, and pure snowy winter. It’s a low-key yet treasure-filled all-region travel destination in Northeast China. Travel and accommodation guide Jiamusi’s travel map is clear, divided into four main areas: the city’s cultural riverfront, Fujin’s ecological wetlands, Tangyuan’s forest mysteries, and Fuyuan’s easternmost border. Driving is the best way to get around. The Sanjiang Plain offers wide-open views along the way, with alternating scenes of rice fields, wetlands, and forests—stop whenever you like. Solo travelers can choose taxis in the city or shared shuttles to the outskirts for convenience and time savings. Accommodations can be chosen based on your needs. For easy transportation and concentrated dining options, the city’s commercial areas are best, surrounded by night markets, supermarkets, and long-established restaurants. For an immersive nature experience, stay at farmhouses near wetlands or forests. If you want to catch the sunrise at the easternmost point, it’s recommended to stay overnight in Fuyuan city for easy early-morning access. The local climate has a large temperature difference between day and night. The wetlands and riversides near the suburbs are windy, so it’s advisable to always carry a light jacket. The forest and wetland areas have dense vegetation and many mosquitoes, so mosquito repellent is a must. The local cuisine features fresh fish from the three rivers, Korean ethnic flavors, and traditional northeastern home cooking. The flavors are rich and the value is excellent, suitable for all kinds of palates. Three-day essential itinerary Day 1: Stroll through the river city’s everyday life and explore its cultural heritage The first day focuses on a relaxed city tour to discover Jiamusi’s urban character and local warmth. Start early at a traditional morning market, tasting chewy handmade noodles, classic tofu pudding, and sweet sticky bean buns to fully experience the old city’s lively atmosphere. In the morning, visit the Jiamusi City Museum, which is free to the public. The museum showcases the history of the three-river basin, Hezhe fishing culture exhibits, and border development records. Unique fish skin clothing and fishing tools highlight ethnic features, making it easy to understand the land’s thousand-year history. Note that the museum is closed on Mondays. In the afternoon, take a leisurely walk in Xinglin Lake Park, where shimmering water and green trees surround you. Small bridges and flowing water complement the garden scenery, creating a quiet and peaceful atmosphere perfect for strolling, relaxing, and taking photos. Then walk along the Songhua River Park, enjoying the wide river view, the breeze rippling the waves, and fishing boats gently moored. Visit the Zhiqing Square and riverside scenic area to feel the city’s unique relaxed vibe. In the evening, explore the city night market, sampling local snacks. The evening breeze and lively atmosphere reveal Jiamusi’s gentle nightlife. Day 2: Head to the wetland secret realm and encounter nature’s creatures On the second day, immerse yourself in the ecological beauty of the Sanjiang Plain and get close to nature. Spend the whole day at Fujin National Wetland Park, which covers over 30,000 acres of pristine wetlands. Tens of thousands of acres of reeds roll like waves, and a 2.6-km wooden boardwalk winds through the reed sea. Climb the birdwatching tower for a panoramic view of the vast wetlands. Take a boat through the reed maze, often spotting wild water birds like egrets and white-naped cranes dancing in flight. The untouched natural scenery is deeply healing. During breaks, visit Fujin’s tens of thousands of acres of lotus ponds and rice field park. In midsummer, lotus flowers bloom and fill the air with fragrance. In summer and autumn, the vast rice fields turn green and ripple like waves. Giant rice field paintings create a striking visual impact. The countryside breeze is refreshing and comfortable. Stay overnight at a nearby farmhouse and enjoy an authentic three-river fish feast. Day 3: Explore the forest border and discover unique ethnic customs On the last day, connect the forest oxygen bar with the easternmost border highlights to conclude the trip. For those who prefer quiet mountain forests, visit Tangyuan Daliangzi River Forest Park. Its high forest coverage creates a natural oxygen bar. The original red pine forest shades the sky, streams flow gently, and the trails are flat and comfortable for all ages. Hike through the forest to refresh your lungs and relax, far from city noise. For those who love border scenery, head to Fuyuan’s Heixiazi Island, the country’s easternmost landmark. Climb the easternmost pagoda to overlook the two rivers’ confluence with their distinct colors. Walk the wetland boardwalk, visit the wild bear park and the China-Russia border marker, and fully experience the grandeur and solemnity of the border. If time allows, visit Aoqi Bay Hezhe ethnic village to try intangible cultural heritage projects like fish skin painting and get up close with the little-known Hezhe fishing culture. Must-try local specialties Hezhe full fish feast: Jiamusi’s signature dish, relying on high-quality river fish from the three rivers. Authentic preparations include raw fish, Talaha grilled fish, and clear stewed mixed fish, preserving the fish’s fresh sweetness. It’s a unique border flavor. Jiamusi mixed noodles: A local classic, with chewy handmade noodles and a secret sauce that’s sweet and sour and rich. Paired with side dishes, it unlocks the authentic old city taste in every bite. Northeast iron pot stew: Firewood-cooked river fish and stewed native chicken, with corn cakes stuck to the pot edge soaking up the broth. Full of homey flavor, with a solid balance of meat and vegetables. Special snacks: Sweet and sour Korean cold noodles, crispy stuffed pancakes, sweet sticky bean buns, paired with chilled soda and birch sap drinks. Refreshing and satisfying, found throughout street night markets. Travel tips 1. All major cultural and museum venues in the city are closed on Mondays. Plan your itinerary accordingly to avoid wasted trips. Forest and wetland parks close entry at dusk, so visit in the morning to allow enough time. 2. Fujin wetlands and Daliangzi River forest areas have many mosquitoes. Be sure to protect yourself. The wetland boardwalk can be slippery when wet. Stay away from deep water when enjoying water activities and be cautious. 3. Heixiazi Island is a border control area. Always carry your ID, follow border management rules, and avoid photographing control facilities. Visitors must take the designated sightseeing shuttle. 4. The temperature difference between day and night is significant near rivers and forests. The wind picks up in the evening, so dress warmly to avoid catching a cold. Summer often has short showers, so carry an umbrella. 5. Outlying scenic spots are far from the city with long travel times. Prepare drinking water and snacks in advance. Buy local specialties in city supermarkets for better value and to avoid inflated prices at scenic spots. A city embracing the three rivers’ grand views, with wetlands and forests hiding charm. Jiamusi perfectly blends magnificent river scenery, pristine wetlands, tranquil forests, and unique border customs. Without crowded crowds, its gentle, off-the-beaten-path northern scenery holds a healing poetry unique to northern borderlands, ideal for slow-paced, immersive travel.

Fujin rice is full and fragrant, naturally contains selenium, and is highly nutritious. Here, the ornamental value and practical value of rice can be maximized, making it a perfect sustainable development of new ecological tourism.

Fujin National Wetland Park: A marshland in the heart of the Sanjiang Plain chosen by waterbirds Heading southwest from downtown Fujin, the road is flanked by vast, flat farmland and rows of poplar trees. After about a 40-minute drive, as the farmland gradually gives way to reeds and water, an expansive marshland unfolds on the horizon—you have arrived at Fujin National Wetland Park. Located in the heart of the Sanjiang Plain, it covers a total area of 2,200 hectares and serves as a vital stopover on the migratory route for birds in Northeast Asia. First, step into the reed marshes Upon entering, you are greeted by dense reeds. They tower over your head, stretching from the roadside to the water's edge. When the wind blows, they ripple like green waves, and a rustling sound comes from all directions. Follow the wooden boardwalk that stretches for over 2 kilometers into the park. The boardwalk is built above the water, flanked by cattails, bulrushes, and water lilies, with plant colors transitioning from light green to dark green. The boardwalk is narrow but stable, with 4 leisure pavilions along the way where you can rest. The pavilions are small, but they are perfectly situated by the water, where you can look down and see schools of fish swimming under the arched bridges. Waterbirds are the masters here Over 170 species of birds have been recorded in the Fujin Wetland. Among them, red-crowned cranes, Oriental storks, and hooded cranes are national first-class protected animals, while white-naped cranes, whooper swans, and Eurasian spoonbills are second-class protected animals. Summer is the most active time for waterfowl. Thousands of waterbirds gather deep in the wetland, some pacing on the shallows, others flying low over the water. Standing on the viewing platform and looking into the distance, reeds and water alternate. As the flocks take flight and land, their wings flash like tiny white dots in the sunlight. If you are lucky, you can see white-naped cranes gliding over the reed beds, their wings flapping slowly with graceful movements. Deep in the wetland, there is a bird-watching tower. Once you climb up, the view opens up instantly. The entire marshland lies beneath your feet, with winding waterways weaving through the sea of reeds like ribbons, and the water's reflection peeking through the gaps in the plants. In the distance, fields and villages merge into a blurred line at the horizon, with dense green nearby and faint grayish-blue in the distance. The lotus pond and those quiet corners The lotus pond in the scenic area is in full bloom during the summer. Lotus leaves crowd the water surface, and pink and white flowers peek out from between the leaves—some fully open, others still tight buds. The wooden boardwalk by the pond winds through the lotus leaves. Walking along it, the fresh scent of lotus flowers mixes with the water vapor. When the wind blows, the lotus leaves sway gently, and water droplets roll across their surfaces. There is also a water lily viewing area nearby. Water lily flowers are smaller than lotus flowers, with lighter colors, spreading out close to the water surface and staying quietly in their own corners. Colors of the four seasons The four seasons in Fujin Wetland are very distinct. In spring, around April and May, migratory birds return from the south. Hundreds of thousands of waterfowl stop here to molt. The shallows are densely packed with egrets, wild ducks, and sandpipers, and the sound of flapping wings continues from morning till night. In summer, the reeds and lotus leaves are at their most lush, a deep, rich green, and waterbirds build nests and breed deep in the reed beds. In autumn, the leaves of the reeds and cattails turn yellow, and the entire reed marsh is dyed golden. Climbing the bird-watching tower to look down, the winding waterways weave through the golden sea of reeds, and as the light slants, the reflections on the water change layer by layer. In winter, when the snow falls, the lake freezes over, the reeds are wrapped in frost, and the entire wetland is so quiet that only the sound of the wind passing through the reed stalks remains. Practical information The wetland park is located southwest of downtown Fujin, about a 40-minute drive from the city center. There is a parking lot at the entrance of the scenic area. Opening hours are approximately 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The boardwalk is well-paved and easy to walk on, so just wear comfortable shoes. There are more mosquitoes in the wetland than elsewhere, so bring mosquito repellent if you visit in summer. It is windy on the boardwalk, so even in midsummer, it can be cool in the morning and evening; bringing a light jacket is a safe bet. The bird-watching tower is the place to see the panoramic view and photograph the reed marshes. In autumn, the best light is after 3:00 PM or 4:00 PM. When I stepped off the boardwalk, the sky was already dim. Looking back at the marshland covered by reeds and water, a few waterbirds flew over the water, their wings tracing shallow marks in the twilight. The reed marsh was still swaying in the wind, unhurried and steady. This wetland has been lying here for a long time, with flocks of birds coming and going year after year.
National Day holiday trip to Jiamusi (Fuyuan, Tongjiang, Fujin) || Visit date: October 2024 (National Day holiday) 1️⃣ Route: We took this route during the 2024 National Day holiday. We flew from Beijing to Fuyuan Airport, then chartered a car to tour Fuyuan, Tongjiang, and Fujin, and finally returned to Beijing from Jiamusi Airport. The total trip was 5 days and 4 nights. We actually added Raohe County in Shuangyashan between Fuyuan and Tongjiang, but we only visited Dadingzi Mountain. Personally, I feel that adding just this one attraction made the driving much longer, which was too tiring and not really worth it. If you spend all your time in these few places, it won't feel rushed, and the travel will be more relaxed. Unless you plan to spend a few more days in Shuangyashan, I wouldn't recommend adding this detour. 2️⃣ Fuyuan attractions: These are the places that left the deepest impression on me in Fuyuan, and they are quite classic attractions. Dongji Square (Photos 1–2), the place where the mainland of our country welcomes the sunrise earliest. We got up and left after 3:00 AM that day, and the sunrise was truly beautiful. The Fish Museum (Photos 3–4) is in the city center and was quite a pleasant surprise. You can see sturgeon, kaluga, and other fish, as well as large specimens. There is also a science and technology museum next to it where you can take children to play. Riverside Park (Photo 5), next to the Fish Museum, is beautiful for watching the sunset. Heixiazi Island, a China-Russia border island, requires taking a sightseeing bus inside. There is the original Russian outpost (Photo 6) and a bear park (Photo 7). Photo 8 is a spot we stopped at randomly on the road from Fuyuan to another place, called Daomeng Wusu Agricultural Park, where you can see rice paddy art. Photo 9 was taken from the car, and the scenery was really amazing. 3️⃣ Tongjiang attractions: Photo 10 is a sightseeing hotel next to the Starting Point Square, where you can pay to go to the observation deck to watch the sunset over the Sanjiang Confluence. Photo 11 is the Hezhe Ethnic Culture Village, where you can watch performances. Photo 12 is the Lahasusu Customs Site Museum, Photos 13–14 are the Hezhe Museum, Photo 15 is the Tongjiang Intangible Cultural Heritage Exhibition Hall, and Photo 16 is the Russian Style Park. 4️⃣ Fujin attractions: We actually only visited the National Wetland Park in Fujin, which is shown in Photos 17–18. There is also a Rice Park, but since we had been to a similar one in Fuyuan, we skipped it due to time constraints. If you don't include the day in Shuangyashan, you can visit more attractions. 5️⃣ Food: I won't post photos, but it mainly consisted of fish soup noodles, iron pot stew, and barbecue. It was standard and decent, but nothing that particularly amazed us. 6️⃣ Tips: The attractions are very scattered, so I recommend chartering a car or driving yourself. You must wear plenty of clothes to watch the sunrise in Fuyuan. It's already quite cool there during the National Day holiday, and it's really cold in the morning. I even had to borrow a military-style overcoat later.
I'm going to give you the real scoop! This severely underrated border city in Northeast China is truly amazing for sightseeing and eating! I've visited 6 times, and today I'm sharing all the pitfalls I've avoided and the gems I've found. Just follow this guide and you'll have a great time✅ 📍 Location Jiamusi is in the northeast of Heilongjiang Province, at the confluence of the Songhua, Heilongjiang, and Wusuli rivers, facing Russia across the river. Around National Day is the perfect time to see the "Five-Flower Mountain" (colorful autumn foliage) at its most spectacular. From late September to early October, the forest looks like an overturned palette, with red, yellow, and green intertwined—autumn is everywhere you look. 🚗 Transportation You can take a high-speed train directly to Jiamusi Station. Make sure you don't book tickets to Jiamusi West Station! It's far from the city center, and your taxi fare will be double. If you're transferring from Harbin, the high-speed train takes about 2.5 hours. Taxis within the city are very cheap; most trips to attractions cost around 10 yuan, offering great value. 🥢 Food Recommendations (Highly Recommended) 🌞 Breakfast: Sanxiao Jianbing Guozi. Freshly made thin crepes wrapped around crispy fried dough, brushed with a secret sauce. One bite and it's soft on the outside, crispy on the inside, with a savory explosion of flavor—this carb fix is exactly what you need to start your day. 🍜 Jiamusi Mixed Noodles. Soul food! The hand-pulled noodles are chewy and springy, served with a sweet and spicy sauce, shredded cucumber, and crushed peanuts. Once mixed, every noodle is coated in sauce, hitting all the right notes: sweet, sour, spicy, salty, and savory. I recommend Sanjiemei Cold Noodle Restaurant and Xingxing Cold Noodle Restaurant—both are decades-old local institutions where you can get a huge bowl for CNY 15 and leave stuffed. 🥩 Guobaorou (Sweet and Sour Pork). Jiamusi's Guobaorou is absolutely amazing! Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with the perfect sweet and sour sauce ratio—not too sweet or too sour. It crunches when you bite into it while hot. Laorenyi Restaurant is a long-standing local favorite. 🍢 Northeast BBQ. If you want the best BBQ in China, look to the Northeast, and for the best in the Northeast, look to Jiamusi. Try the fatty/lean meat skewers, grilled solid eggs, vegetable rolls, and grilled eggplant, paired with an ice-cold "Big Pear" soda. You can eat your fill for about CNY 40 per person. 🌙 Night Market Must-Visit: Youfang Hutong Night Market has a history of over a hundred years. Grilled cold noodles with egg and sausage are a staple, sizzling teppanyaki squid is a must, and the meat-stuffed flatbreads and shuan du (boiled tripe) are the ultimate feast for carb lovers. 🏠 Accommodation Guide Comfort: Wanda Jinhua Hotel is right next to Wanda Plaza, making dining and shopping convenient. The rooms have good soundproofing, and the breakfast selection is rich. Atour Hotel is also well-located, with a supermarket and snack street right across the street. It's a CNY 10 taxi ride to Riverside Park and Youfang Hutong. Economy: Chain hotels in the city center cost about CNY 150–200 per night, offering convenient access to dining and transport. If you want to save money, just look for budget chain hotels; their prices are transparent, and they won't overcharge you. ⚠️ Tips to avoid pitfalls: Don't just look for river-view rooms; it can be noisy by the river at night. Choosing a homestay in an old residential area or a chain hotel in a quieter location is a safer bet. 🗺️ Itinerary Day 1 City Stroll: In the morning, visit the Jiamusi Museum to see the Hezhe ethnic fishing and hunting culture exhibition area. It's free, but bring your ID card (closed on Mondays). In the afternoon, take a walk in Riverside Park and enjoy the river breeze; the Flood Control Memorial Tower is an iconic photo spot. In the evening, go to Xilin Road Night Market or Youfang Hutong for food. Day 2 Autumn Sightseeing: Drive or charter a car to the Fujin Ten-Thousand-Mu Rice Park. Climb the 39-meter sightseeing tower to overlook the 100,000 square meters of 3D colorful rice paddy art. In autumn, the rolling waves of rice are spectacular. In the afternoon, return to the city and head to Sifeng Mountain Scenic Area. In autumn, the red maples cover the mountains, and you can climb up to get a panoramic view of Jiamusi. Day 3 The Eastern Frontier (Optional): If you have 4 days, I highly recommend going to Fuyuan! Watch the first sunrise of the country on Heixiazi Island, take a photo at the "Eastern Frontier of China" monument at Dongji Square, and then head to Jiejinkou Hezhe Ethnic Township for a full-fish feast. The raw fish and "Talaha" (traditional Hezhe fish dish) are incredibly fresh. It takes about 2 hours by high-speed train from Jiamusi to Fuyuan, and renting a car or chartering one locally is more flexible. 📸 Great Photo Spots Sunset by the Songhua River: Arrive at the riverside 1 hour before sunset. The sunset glow reflecting on the water is a perfect match, and every shot is a masterpiece. Fujin Ten-Thousand-Mu Rice Fields: The best viewing period is from late September to early October. Wearing white or red clothes makes for better photos. Between 4:00 PM and 5:00 PM, the sunset glow spills over the rice waves, creating a healing, Japanese-style aesthetic. The G102 National Highway along the route from Jiamusi to Huachuan is an excellent spot for photos. Daliangzihe National Forest Park: The "Five-Flower Mountain" scenery is most concentrated here. Walking along the forest trails, you'll be surrounded by colorful foliage—it looks great from any angle. Dale National Forest Park: Over 780 mu of purple verbena flower fields. This year, a 350-meter fog system has been added, creating a fairyland atmosphere with fine mist. Sanjiangkou Eco-Tourism Area: The clear and murky waters meet at the confluence of the two rivers. Standing on the viewing platform to take silhouettes is very atmospheric. It's recommended to go after 3:00 PM when the light is softer. 🚫 Tips to Avoid Pitfalls 1️⃣ Don't get the stations mixed up: Jiamusi Station is the city station; Jiamusi West Station is far from the city, and taxi fares will double. 2️⃣ Don't forget mosquito repellent: The small black flies in the wetlands and by the river are fierce. Remember to spray repellent before getting out of the car, and don't run into the grass wearing skirts or shorts. 3️⃣ Say no to cheap roadside tours: Ignore those "low-price wetland day tour" signs on the street. Most are just shopping tours in disguise. It's more reliable to arrange things yourself through official channels. 4️⃣ Be cautious with chartered cars: Be careful of the men at the station shouting "chartered car to Fuyuan." I've heard of them raising prices halfway through the trip. Only book through official channels to have proof of your booking. 5️⃣ Bring your border documents: You need to apply for a border pass in advance to visit Heixiazi Island. Always carry your ID card, and don't cross the border to take photos within the scenic area. 6️⃣ Book in advance for National Day travel: Accommodation is tight during holidays, so it's best to book your hotel in advance. Traveling on off-peak weekdays means fewer crowds, better scenery, and you can even negotiate prices. 💬 Final Word Jiamusi is truly an underrated treasure of a city. The cost of living is more affordable than in Harbin, it's less crowded, and the "Five-Flower Mountain" in autumn is unbelievably beautiful. If you don't want to go to crowded tourist hotspots during the National Day holiday, this is the place to be!
September Escape the Crowds: A Slow and Relaxing Trip to Fujin | 2 Days 1 Night Autumn Scenery Guide In September, Fujin is just beginning to feel the autumn colors. The winds of the Sanjiang Plain carry the fragrance of rice blossoms, and thousands of acres of rice paddies ripple with golden waves. Migratory birds are gradually migrating south through the wetlands. There are no crowds like in popular border cities, only the vast and relaxed black soil and the lively atmosphere of a small northeastern town. As the "Grain Capital of the North," this place hides the most pristine autumn scenery of the plains, perfect for those who want to avoid the crowds and leisurely stroll through the wetlands and rice paddies. Day 1: Wetland Walk, Chasing Migratory Birds In the morning, head straight to Fujin National Wetland Park, an important stopover for migratory birds in Northeast Asia. September is the peak birdwatching season. Take the park's electric cart deep into the reed beds, strolling slowly along the wooden boardwalk. The reeds on both banks are beginning to turn golden, and egrets and wild ducks occasionally glide across the water. The wind is filled with the crisp scent of grass and water vapor. Be sure to take a wooden boat ride, slowly gliding through the reed maze. The oars cut through the ripples, and in the distance, the water and sky merge into one. Occasionally, a flock of waterbirds will startle and take flight, creating a picturesque scene of a tranquil, waterside plain. Climbing the birdwatching tower offers the best panoramic view; the lake resembles shattered silver embedded in the yellow-green reeds. If you're lucky, you might even spot a flock of white-naped cranes resting there. For lunch, enjoy a pot of stewed river fish at a farmhouse near the scenic area. Fresh Songhua River fish is served with potato noodles, and cornbread is piled around the edge of the pot.

Day 2: Waves of Rice in the Wind, Experiencing the Harvest of the Grain Capital of Northern China On the second day, we drove to the outskirts of the city to the 10,000-mu (approximately 667 hectares) rice paddy park. In September, the rice ears were heavy with ripeness, and the entire field stretched out as a golden sea of varying shades—the most atmospheric time of year. Climbing the observation tower, we were greeted by four giant rice paddy paintings that incorporated local elements such as sturgeon, white-naped cranes, and a steam train. The wind blew the rice into waves, creating a breathtaking scene more stunning than any oil painting. Walking along the field paths, we ventured into the sea of rice, the golden ears brushing against our clothes, the air filled with the sweet fragrance of rice—perfect for close-up photos. At noon, we ate at a local farmhouse restaurant in a nearby village. We ordered the signature pork stew and handmade cold noodles; the ingredients were all locally grown, and the portions were generous and delicious.

September Off-Peak Getaway | Fujin 2-Day 1-Night Plains Autumn Scenery Guide In September, Fujin is just beginning to blush with autumn colors. The winds of the Sanjiang Plain carry the fragrance of rice blossoms, and thousands of acres of rice paddies ripple with golden waves. Migratory birds are gradually migrating south from the wetlands. Without the crowds of popular border towns, there is only the vastness and relaxation of the black soil and the lively atmosphere of a small northeastern town. As the "Grain Capital of the North," it hides the most pristine autumn scenery on the plains, perfect for those who want to avoid the crowds and slowly explore the wetlands and rice paddies. Day 1: Wetland Trekking, Chasing Migratory Birds In the morning, we headed straight to Fujin National Wetland Park, an important stopover for migratory birds in Northeast Asia. September is the peak birdwatching season. We took a shuttle bus deep into the reed marshes, strolling slowly along the wooden boardwalk. The reeds on both banks were beginning to turn golden, and egrets and wild ducks occasionally glided across the water. The air was filled with the crisp scent of grass and water vapor. A must-do is taking a wooden boat ride, slowly gliding through the reed maze. The oars cut through the ripples, and in the distance, the water and sky merged into one. Occasionally, a flock of waterbirds would be startled and take flight, creating a picturesque scene of a tranquil plain. Climbing the birdwatching tower offers the best panoramic view; the lake resembles shattered silver embedded in the yellow-green reeds. With luck, you might even spot a flock of white-naped cranes resting. At noon, we ate stewed river fish in an iron pot at a farmhouse near the scenic area. The fresh Songhua River fish was served with potato noodles, and cornbread was stuck around the edge of the pot. Soaked in fish broth, the cornbread was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside – a truly authentic Northeastern flavor. In the afternoon, we strolled along the Songhua River Stele Forest. Dozens of calligraphic stone carvings were scattered along the riverbank, creating a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. Walking along the riverbank, the river breeze rustling through the poplar trees was perfect for relaxing and daydreaming. In the evening, we returned to the city and explored the Central Street night market, trying grilled cold noodles, old-fashioned fried skewers, and ice cream – a truly vibrant and lively experience. Day 2: Waves of Rice Waves in the Wind, Experiencing the Harvest of the Northern Grain Capital The next day, we drove to the outskirts of the city to visit the 10,000-mu Rice Paddy Park. In September, the rice ears were heavy, and the entire field stretched out like a golden sea of varying shades – the most atmospheric time of year. Climbing the observation tower, four giant rice paddy paintings unfold across the land, incorporating local elements such as sturgeon, white-naped cranes, and a steam train. The wind ripples through the rice paddies, creating waves that are more breathtaking than any oil painting. Walking along the paths into the sea of rice, the golden ears of grain brush against your clothes, and the air is filled with the sweet fragrance of rice—perfect for close-up photos with a wonderful atmosphere.

In September, Jiamusi has just shed the summer heat. The rice paddies of the Sanjiang Plain are immersed in a golden ocean, and the reed marshes along the Heilongjiang River sway in the wind. Without the summer crowds or the peak autumn season of the National Day holiday, it offers great value for dining, accommodation, and activities. This route avoids conventional tourist spots like Heixiazi Island and Daliangzi River, instead taking you through old alleys, rice seas, and fishing villages hidden by locals. Tested and verified, no tourist traps. Day 1 Old Town Alleys | Local Life and Autumn Vibes on the Mountainside Spend the morning strolling through Xilin Old Street, the core of the old town in Xiangyang District, which is free to enter. Don't just stick to the main road; turn into the side alleys where 1980s state-run grocery stores, old photo studios, and watch repair shops still retain their original look. Faded slogans on the walls are full of nostalgia. In September, the maple trees along the street start to turn yellow, and elderly residents sit at their doorways drying cabbage and radishes. It's full of local charm, and you won't run into many tourists even after walking for half a day. For lunch, head to Laodaowai Shaguoju, a long-standing restaurant on Xilin Road that has been open for over 20 years. Their signature sauerkraut and pork belly casserole features tangy, appetizing sauerkraut and pork belly that is rich but not greasy. The broth is thick and flavorful. Pair it with a piece of tender braised pork and rice for a warm meal at about CNY 30 per person. Locals share tables during peak hours, so go before 11:00 AM to avoid waiting. In the afternoon, visit Sifengshan Scenic Area, a 20-minute taxi ride from the city center; admission is CNY 20. Don't just take photos by the lake; walk half the loop along the lakeside trail. You'll pass through wetlands and cross the Rainbow Bridge, with the autumn colors slowly spreading across the distant Wandashan Mountains and the large wind turbines on the mountaintop turning slowly. The light is softest at 3:00 PM in September. Standing on the observation deck overlooking the lake and mountains, you'll see where locals come on weekends to hike and get some fresh air—it's much more comfortable than crowding into popular tourist spots. For dinner, go to Xingxing BBQ, a popular long-standing restaurant near the university. The shuan du (boiled tripe) is CNY 2 per skewer, thick and flavorful. The grilled beef skewers are coated in dry spices and sizzle with aroma. Add a bing jia chuan (flatbread sandwich with skewers)—the crust is crispy and packed with meaty flavor. You can eat until you're stuffed for about CNY 50 per person. Day 2 Rice Seas and Reed Marshes | A Harvest Painting of the Sanjiang Plain In the morning, drive for 1 hour to the Fujin Ten-Thousand-Mu Rice Park; admission to the sightseeing tower is CNY 30. Don't just take photos at the base of the tower; climb the 39m tower for a bird's-eye view. 40,000 mu of golden rice fields stretch to the horizon, with giant rice paddy art clearly visible. As the wind blows, the rice waves roll, full of the harvest spirit of the Great Northern Wilderness. In early September, the rice has just turned yellow, and tourists haven't flooded in yet. You can see harvesters working in the fields—it's a real agricultural scene. For lunch in downtown Fujin, eat at Laodifang Tieguodun (Iron Pot Stew). Enjoy freshly caught Songhua River carp with hazel mushrooms and corn cakes stuck to the side of the pot. The cakes soak up the broth and are crispy and flavorful. You can eat until you're full for about CNY 45 per person, and all ingredients are locally sourced. In the afternoon, visit the Fujin National Wetland Park; admission is CNY 40, including the boat ticket. Don't just walk the short boardwalk at the entrance; be sure to take a boat deep into the reed marshes. In September, the reeds start to turn golden. From time to time, red-crowned cranes and egrets skim across the water, and it's so quiet that only the sound of the punting pole and bird calls remain. The bird-watching tower deep in the wetland offers an excellent view. Wait for the sunset, when the golden light spreads across the water—it's incredibly healing. Stay in downtown Fujin for the night. A standard room in a chain hotel is around CNY 110. There are restaurants right downstairs, offering great value. Day 3 Hezhe Fishing Village | An Ancient Tribe by the Border River In the morning, drive 1.5 hours to the Jiejinkou Hezhe Ethnic Culture Village; the half-price ticket in September is CNY 35. Don't rush to the performance; first, visit the Hezhe Folk Museum. The fish-skin clothing, fish-skin paintings, and birch-bark boats are authentic historical artifacts, and the guide will tell you about the fishing and hunting history of the Hezhe people. There is Yimakan storytelling at 10:00 AM every day. The ancient tone is full of stories, and it's worth stopping to listen for a while. For lunch in the village, eat at the Hezhe Renjia Fish Restaurant. The "sha sheng yu" (raw fish salad) is crispy and refreshing, and the "talaha" (grilled fish) is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Pair it with a bowl of fish roe and millet porridge to cleanse the palate. It's a comfortable meal for about CNY 60 per person, all made with fresh river fish caught from the Heilongjiang River. In the afternoon, take a stroll along the Jiejinkou river embankment, a free, pristine section of the river. Don't go to the Sanjiangkou Scenic Area to crowd with others. Walking along the embankment, the Heilongjiang River flows slowly, and the forests of Russia on the opposite bank are clearly visible. Old fishing boats are moored by the river, and fishermen are mending nets and drying fish on the shore, full of the local life of a border fishing village. Head back after 2:00 PM, and you'll be back in the city by 4:00 PM. Travel Tips · Clothing: In September, daytime temperatures are around 19°C, and nighttime temperatures are around 7°C. A thin trench coat and long-sleeved T-shirt are essential, as it is windy by the river and in the mountains. · Transportation: Attractions are scattered, so self-driving or chartering a car is recommended. It's more convenient than taking a bus and costs CNY 260 per day. Attractions in the city can be reached by taxi. · Avoid Pitfalls: Drones are prohibited in border areas. There are many mosquitoes in the wetlands, so bring mosquito repellent. Do not step on the ridges when taking photos in the rice fields. · Accommodation: Staying in Xiangyang District is most convenient in the city, close to old streets and food. Staying in downtown Fujin offers great value. You can fully explore the area for around CNY 1,000 per person. The beauty of Jiamusi has never been in the popular tourist spots, but in the local life of the old streets, the waves of the rice seas, and the fishing songs of the Hezhe people. Come in September when it's less crowded and quiet, and take your time to savor the autumn vibes of this border city by the three rivers.
In September, Tongjiang enters early autumn. The summer heat has faded, the river breeze is cool, and the rice paddies are turning gold. With far fewer tourists than in the summer, it is the perfect time to explore the border, see the confluence of the two rivers, and taste fresh fish. This border town, located where the Heilongjiang and Songhua rivers meet, lacks the crowds of popular tourist spots but offers the vastness of the border river and the simple charm of the Hezhen ethnic group—perfect for those looking to slow down and unwind. Day 1: The Confluence of Three Rivers, Chasing a Border Sunset In the morning, head to the Sanjiangkou Ecotourism Area, Tongjiang's most iconic landmark, which is free to enter. Stand on the observation deck to watch the Heilongjiang and Songhua rivers converge. The northern river is black and the southern one is yellow; the two distinct water lines flow side-by-side for dozens of miles without mixing, a natural wonder often called the "Yin-Yang Hot Pot." The zero-kilometer monument of the Tong-San Highway is located within the scenic area. The monument is inscribed with, "The rivers meet here, the road begins here, and the sea connects here." From here, you can drive all the way south to Sanya, which is quite significant. For lunch, you can have Demoli stewed fish at a nearby fish restaurant. The tofu and vermicelli soak up the fish broth, making it especially delicious when paired with rice. In the afternoon, stop by the Sanjiangkou Rice Paddy Park. In September, the rice is just turning yellow, and the wind makes it look like golden waves. There are also giant rice paddy paintings in the fields, which are great for photos. Next, head to the Sanjiangkou National Wetland Park. The wooden boardwalk winds through the reed marshes, making for a very comfortable walk in the crisp autumn air, where you might occasionally spot water birds skimming the surface. Return to the city in the evening and walk to the Russian-style Garden. The colorful little Russian houses have an exotic feel, and the Matryoshka Square and musical fountain are perfect for casual photos. For dinner in the city, try the sturgeon hot pot—we recommend the "Huangxiong Yushan" health pot. The fish is tender and not fishy, and the broth gets richer the longer it boils, making it a very warming meal for autumn. Day 2: Exploring Jiejinkou, the Fishing and Hunting Life of the Hezhen People On the second day, drive 40 minutes to the Jiejinkou Hezhen Ethnic Township, the core area for experiencing Hezhen culture. First, visit the Hezhen Ethnic Culture Village, where fish-skin clothing, birch-bark boats, and traditional fishing and hunting tools are on display. There are Hezhen song and dance performances and Yimakan storytelling at 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM daily, with a singing style that feels ancient and ceremonial. If you enjoy crafts, you can try making fish-skin paintings, following a master to make small pendants out of chum salmon skin for about 50 yuan per person. In the afternoon, hike the Beishan Scenic Area. The 260-meter glass skywalk hangs over the cliffs by the Heilongjiang River. Beneath your feet is the border river, and across from it are the mountains and forests of Russia. The breeze blowing from the river is incredibly healing. There is also a glass slide and a Ferris wheel on the mountain if you are feeling brave. After coming down the mountain, find a fish restaurant in the village and be sure to try the Hezhen specialties: raw fish (sha sheng yu) and talaha. The raw fish is served with wild chive flowers, and the grilled fish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside—a taste of fishing and hunting traditions passed down for thousands of years. Travel Tips · Transportation: Travelers from out of town can fly to Jiansanjiang Wetland Airport and then take a bus. If driving, the G331 National Highway offers beautiful border river scenery along the way. Within the city, taxis to attractions are generally under 10 yuan. For trips to Jiejinkou, it is recommended to charter a car or drive yourself. · Accommodation: For the best views, stay at a Russian-style river-view homestay within the Sanjiangkou scenic area, where you can see the river right from your window. For better value, choose a 7 Days Inn or Xinju Hotel in the city, which are within walking distance of major shopping districts. · Clothing: The river breeze is strong in September and it gets cool in the morning and evening, so be sure to bring a windbreaker. Wear comfortable sneakers as there is a lot of walking. · Note: Do not cross the border in border areas, follow scenic area regulations, and respect the customs of ethnic minorities. You can have a very comfortable trip for about 800 yuan per person by taking it slow. With fewer crowds, quiet scenery, river breezes, and fresh fish, this is a rare, hidden treasure on the Northeast border line in September.

These villages preserve generations of stone-built dwellings, simple yet powerful, like a traditional Chinese ink painting, each old house carrying a long and rich history.
无为海之风We arrived at the deer enclosure around 3 PM. Initially, we were worried that the deer, having been fed in the afternoon, wouldn't want to interact with us. However, once inside, we found the deer to be quite friendly. They enjoyed corn kernels, and whenever they sensed we were feeding them, other deer would come over and ask for food. One old deer even followed us all the way inside – quite amusing and intelligent. As the sun set, the entire meadow was bathed in golden light, creating a beautiful and photogenic scene.
