Looking for a 2-day family getaway? Skip the exhausting treks and enjoy a stress-free trip with your kids! — traveler post in Jixi

Looking for a 2-day family getaway? Skip the exhausting treks and enjoy a stress-free trip with your kids!

Jixi 2-Day Family Trip | Skip the exhausting treks, enjoy a stress-free trip with your kids! When traveling with kids, don't rush from one attraction to the next. This Jixi itinerary balances animal encounters with outdoor fun, ensuring both adults and children have a great time. Day 1: Visit Jixi Zoo and Botanical Garden. The park has plenty of greenery, where you can see sika deer and black bears up close. Kids can experience animal interactions, and you can have a simple picnic on the lawn, away from electronic devices. In the evening, stroll through the city park and enjoy the evening breeze. Staying in the city center makes dining and getting around convenient. For dinner, try Jixi cold noodles; kids can also find snacks they'll enjoy. Day 2: Choose one of two options. If you prefer mountain fun, head to Qilin Mountain Scenic Area. It has a petting zoo and a non-motorized play area. The mountain air is fresh, and you don't have to hike the whole way—just stick to the flat paths. If you prefer flat-ground activities, choose Yulianggou Dream Ice and Snow Park. The valley environment is comfortable, and there are kids' cars, making it perfect for a leisurely time with the kids. You can also camp and rest. After the trip, pick up some local specialties before heading home. Family travel tips There are many mosquitoes outdoors, so bring mosquito repellent. The temperature difference near lakes and forests can be significant, so bring a light jacket. Try to choose flat routes and don't overpack your itinerary. Does your little one prefer seeing animals or playing on rides? Let us know in the comments!

It wasn't until I finished driving the G331 that I realized: Tongjiang is the truly underrated destination — traveler post in Jixi

It wasn't until I finished driving the G331 that I realized: Tongjiang is the truly underrated destination

Many people treat Tongjiang as just a pit stop on the G331, but I want to say: this small city is worth staying in for at least 3 days. The Songhua and Heilongjiang rivers converge here, the Hezhen people have lived here for generations, and Russia is right across the river—you won't run out of things to do in 3 days. · Day 1 | Sanjiangkou + wetlands + rice paddies + intangible cultural heritage Morning: Start at the Tongsan Highway Zero Kilometer Marker Tower (the northern starting point, leading all the way south for over 5,000 km to Sanya). Along the way, see the confluence of the two rivers, the wetland boardwalk, and snap a photo at the Rice Paddy Park wearing a straw hat. Lunch: Northeast Chinese cuisine (pork stew, iron pot stew). The portions are hearty and you won't be disappointed. Afternoon: Hezhen Intangible Cultural Heritage Center. Use AI to dress up and transform into a Hezhen person in 3 seconds, experience ancient fishing and hunting through a holographic 5D screen, and watch masters create fish-skin paintings on-site—it's 10 times more fun than a museum. Evening: Take a walk along the river to see the Sanjiangkou light show. The river breeze, the lights, and the border river are so healing you won't want to say a word. · Day 2 | Jiejinkou | Immersive ethnic culture Travel 40 km from the city center to Jiejinkou Hezhen Ethnic Culture Village: try making fish-skin paintings yourself and watch the intangible cultural heritage Yimakan rap performance—it's so moving it will give you goosebumps. Lunch: Full fish feast featuring raw fish salad, roasted fish, and fish slices. Afternoon: Climb the Jiejin Mountain glass skywalk, where you can see the Russian village on the other side with the naked eye. Stop by the Mural Town on the way—it's very artistic and great for photos. Evening: Return to the city for salmon hot pot—one fish served in 18 different ways on 18 plates. It's incredibly fresh. · Day 3 | Riverside sunrise + Russian meal + stay in Bacha Early morning: Watch the sunrise by the river (the sunrise in Tongjiang is very early). The morning light spreads across the two-colored river surface. Morning: Take a slow-paced stroll to explore other intangible cultural heritage of Tongjiang, such as birch bark paintings, which are truly stunning. Lunch: Eat borscht, Russian bread, and beef stew in a Russian-style restaurant. The China-Russia supermarket next door sells authentic and affordable Russian chocolate and canned goods. Afternoon: Take the G331 to Bacha Hezhen Ethnic Township (about 1.5 hours). Stay at the Bacha Hezhen Fishing Village homestay in a detached log cabin. Open the window to see the Milky Way—this is what travel living is about, not just staying in a hotel. · 🚗 Transportation is not as far as you think. Although we drove, there are many other ways to reach Tongjiang: ✈️ Jiansanjiang Wetland Airport is 85 km from the city center, with direct access after landing. 🚙 You can also drive directly to Tongjiang from the directions of Shuangyashan, Jixi, and Yichun. 🚄 From Harbin, you can take a high-speed train to Jiamusi and then transfer to Tongjiang

Two days on the Ussuri River, I watched a whole stretch of flowing green in the summer at the China-Russia border — traveler post in Jixi

Two days on the Ussuri River, I watched a whole stretch of flowing green in the summer at the China-Russia border

The summer of the Ussuri River is green. In June, the Zhenbao Island Wetland is just sprouting new green reeds, the river water glimmers with a bluish light under the sun, and the forests along the China-Russia border spread out on both banks like a deep green sea. The Zhenbao Island Wetland National Nature Reserve is known as the "world's most beautiful wetland," separated from Russia by the Ussuri River. The summer here is short but intensely green. 🌿 The First Touch of Green · The Source of the Ussuri River At the source of the Ussuri River, huge rocks lie quietly by the water, with the four characters "Ussuri River" inscribed in cinnabar red like blood. The river water just begins to form here, flowing slowly, and the surface glows with a bluish-green light in the afternoon sun. Standing before the source monument, the river flows beneath your feet, heading toward an endless distance. There is no tourist noise here, only the sound of flowing water and occasional bird calls from the forest across the river. Please carry your ID in the border area. 🌾 The Second Touch of Green · Zhenbao Island Wetland Zhenbao Island Wetland is the most intact swamp ecosystem along the Ussuri River. Walking along the wooden boardwalk deep into the wetland, tall reeds and cattails stand on both sides, their green leaves fluttering in the wind. The boardwalk is suspended above the water, and the clear water beneath reveals aquatic plants gently swaying with the current. From the birdwatching platform, looking down, the entire wetland unfolds under the midday sun—light green, dark green, and deep green blend seamlessly with no clear boundaries, only gradual shades. Every summer, large numbers of migratory birds rest and breed here. 🌊 The Third Touch of Green · Boat Tour on the River In the afternoon, take a boat tour on the Ussuri River. The boat departs from the dock, slowly cruising along the river. The forests on both banks reflect in the water, and the river parts and closes around the bow. The Russian forest on the opposite bank looks almost identical—same green, same trees, same water birds. The boatman stops the boat in the middle of the river and turns off the engine; the whole river falls silent except for the sound of water lapping against the boat. Reaching your hand into the river—the water is cool, from fingertips all the way to the wrist. The green of the river flows; it’s different from lake green, always moving and changing. 🌲 The Fourth Touch of Green · The Forest of Hǔtóu Fortress On the second day, I visited the primeval forest around Hǔtóu Fortress. The trees here are much taller than expected, sunlight filtering through the canopy casting mottled shadows on the ground. Walking on the forest path, the thick layer of fallen leaves beneath feels soft underfoot. The air smells of pine resin and earth; a deep breath brings coolness from the nostrils to the lungs. Standing before a giant red pine, looking up, the trunk is so wide it takes two people to embrace it, and the canopy forms a deep green dome overhead. 🌅 The Fifth Touch of Green · The Riverbank in Retrospect Before leaving, I stood by the river one last time. The evening light from the west dyes the river and forest a color between green and gold. The summer of the Ussuri River is very short—from June to September, less than four months are green. The rest of the time, the river freezes, the forest sheds leaves, and the reeds turn yellow. So the green in June is full, vigorous, and unreserved—every leaf stretches to its fullest before summer ends. Practical Information: Zhenbao Island Wetland is located in Hulin City, Heilongjiang Province, separated from Russia by the Ussuri River. There is no public transportation; it is recommended to charter a car from Hulin city center. The wooden boardwalk at Zhenbao Island Wetland is free to access. Tickets for the Ussuri River boat tour must be purchased on-site at the dock. Please carry your ID in the border area. June temperatures are comfortable, but there is a large temperature difference between day and night, so bring a light jacket.

Border secret spot to relax for three days|20℃ breeze over the border river to beat the summer heat — traveler post in Jixi

Border secret spot to relax for three days|20℃ breeze over the border river to beat the summer heat

Wow, I’m officially announcing— I’ve found the ultimate summer escape for July. It’s not Dali or Moganshan, but a small city at the far eastern edge of the country that you can name but probably don’t really know where it is. Fuyuan, where the average summer temperature is just over 20℃, and the river breeze feels even better than air conditioning. The best part is—few people, stunning scenery, and an unforgettable experience. It’s the kind of hidden gem that makes your friends puzzled when you tell them about it after your trip. 🗺️ Three days and two nights itinerary · tested and optimized Day 1|Arrival + slow city tour + sunset Arrive in the afternoon and take a walk in the riverside park to soak in the slow pace of this border town. Walk along the Heilongjiang riverbank. Across the river is Russia, and you can see the buildings on the other side with the naked eye. Then visit the Fish Museum (ticket 50 RMB), which showcases various fish from the Heilongjiang and Ussuri rivers, including sturgeon, kaluga, and salmon specimens, plus live fish tanks. It’s not a boring museum; the exhibits are thoughtfully arranged. Spend about an hour there. In the evening, head to Dongji Pavilion to watch the sunset (details mentioned earlier). The mountain trail is shaded by trees on both sides. It takes about 30 minutes to reach the top. Wait at the summit as the light gradually softens, turns golden, then purple—absolutely breathtaking. 🌙 For dinner, return to the main street in town and enjoy river fish. Cold-water fish are the soul of this place, with firm, fresh, and sweet meat. Just pick any local old restaurant—you won’t go wrong. Day 2|Early morning light chase + in-depth tour of Heixiazi Island This is the most intense day of the trip. Depart at 2:30 AM → arrive at Dongji Square by 3:00 AM to watch the sunrise → finish by 4:30 AM → go back to catch up on sleep until 7:30 AM → leave at 8:30 AM for Heixiazi Island. No need to repeat the detailed island guide here, but a few hidden gems: 🔸 There’s a small platform midway along the boardwalk in the wetland park. Few tourists reach it, but the view is excellent. You can capture the boardwalk disappearing into the reeds, creating a deep perspective. 🔸 On the third floor of the Dongji Pagoda, there’s a small window framing the wetlands outside like a painting. Many people don’t know about this. 🔸 At the China-Russia border marker on the island, you can take photos. Standing on the line, one foot in China and the other across the border, it feels very ceremonial. In the afternoon, return from the island and visit Wusu Town. Known as the "first town of the East," it has very few permanent residents but is home to a Hezhe ethnic village where you can learn about the traditional culture of this fishing community. The Hezhe fish skin painting is a national intangible cultural heritage. Artisans demonstrate the process live, and you can try it yourself. Turning a piece of fish skin into art is incredibly relaxing. 🔸 In the evening, visit the Shell Beach campsite by the river. The light in July evenings is soft, and lying on the sand watching the sky darken bit by bit is magical. Day 3|Border river cruise + leisurely departure No rush on the last day. In the morning, take a border river cruise to see the confluence of the two rivers from the water. The main channel is the China-Russia border, and the captain shares border stories. The cruise lasts about 40 minutes to 1 hour. Tickets are affordable, and the experience is unique. Have lunch in town, then head back at a relaxed pace in the afternoon. 🛏️ Rest recommendations for three days Stay the first night near the riverside in town for easy early morning departure to Dongji Square and convenient city exploration. A river view room opens to the Heilongjiang River, and falling asleep to the sound of flowing water beats any white noise. For the second night, switch to the Dongji Square or Wusu Town area, closer to Heixiazi Island, so you don’t have to rush the next day. There are some hidden cottages in the woods with green views from the window and frog sounds at night—a true wild luxury experience. ⚠️ Pitfalls to avoid (learned the hard way) Heixiazi Island closes entry at 3:00 PM! Many people go in the afternoon only to find they can’t get in. Always depart in the morning. Chartering a car is much more reliable than taxis. Attractions are far apart, and taxis are hard to get. Book a driver a day in advance. July mornings have a big temperature difference. At sunrise, it can feel like 12–13℃. Don’t wear short sleeves or you’ll freeze. The island has many mosquitoes. Bring insect repellent spray. Summer is peak season. Whether for car hire or accommodation, book at least three weeks in advance. Drones are strictly controlled in the border area. Don’t fly without permission. 🧳 Packing list High SPF sunscreen | windbreaker | insect repellent | sunglasses | power bank (weak signal and fast battery drain on the island) | ID card | flat shoes | telephoto lens (if you have one) 💰 Budget reference (per person) Round-trip transportation: 1,500–2,500 (depending on departure city) Two-day car hire: 800–1,000 Total tickets: about 200 Two nights accommodation: 800–1,500 Three days meals: 500–700 Total per person: 3,800–5,900 One last thing— Fuyuan is the kind of place that leaves you speechless for a long time after you visit. Not because you’re unmoved, but because you’re overwhelmed and don’t know what to say. When you stand at the country’s easternmost point and watch the sun start to light up 9.6 million square kilometers of land beneath your feet, you suddenly feel how wonderful it is to be alive. Ladies, go now. Before it gets crowded.

Viewing rime ice in Northeast China isn’t just about Changbai Mountain — traveler post in Jixi

Viewing rime ice in Northeast China isn’t just about Changbai Mountain

Last winter, I accidentally ventured into a lesser-known spot—Xunke. I didn’t have high expectations before going, but once there, I discovered that the snow and rime ice here are quiet, vast, and carry a raw, unrefined beauty. 📍 Where is it? Xunke County, Heihe City, Heilongjiang Province, has a place called "Xunke Grand Platform." Although administratively part of Heihe, it’s actually closer to Yichun City. Starting from Yichun and heading north, the snowy plains, forests, and occasional villages pass by like scenes from a movie in reverse. 🗓 When is the best time to go? From mid-December to mid-February each year is the most stable period for rime ice. Temperatures often drop below -20°C, and the moisture from the river condenses on the branches, turning them into trees full of frost overnight. 🚗 How to get there? · Major transport: You can fly to Yichun (direct flights from Beijing and Shanghai), or first arrive in Harbin and then take a train or bus to Yichun. · Local transport: From Yichun to the Grand Platform, it’s recommended to drive yourself or hire a car, about a 3-hour drive. When renting a car, choose an SUV and confirm it has snow tires—this is common at Yichun rental agencies, but double-check with the staff when picking up the car for peace of mind. · If it’s your first time driving on snow, don’t worry: keep your speed under 60 km/h for safety, brake gently, and check snow driving tips in advance. 🏠 Where to stay & what to eat? In Pingtaicun Village on the Grand Platform, there are a few local guesthouses. The conditions are simple but clean and warm. Meals are usually served at the guesthouse; just tell the owner, and they can cook authentic Northeast Chinese dishes. For two people, breakfast and dinner cost about 60 RMB per person, with generous portions. 📷 Photography tips (tested route) If you want to catch both the sunrise and rime ice, here’s a plan: 1. Wake up an hour early and arrive at Gaoshan Village before sunrise—the morning light mixing with the snowy plains and the orange-red horizon is the golden hour for photos. 2. After shooting the sunrise, drive directly to the Xunke Grand Platform Rime Ice Scenic Area. The riverbanks are lined with frosted trees, especially beautiful in the soft morning light when the rime ice sparkles. The whole shoot takes about 3.5 hours. If the guesthouse owner knows the area well, you can ask them to guide you. ⚠️ Must-read before the trip · Electronic devices hate the cold: Phones, cameras, and drones tend to lose power or malfunction in low temperatures. Fully charge them the night before, and keep them warm in your pocket before turning them on for shooting. · Clothing recommendations (tested at -30°C): · Top: quick-dry base layer + down/fleece mid-layer + windproof outer layer (GTX shell jacket is best, but a regular windbreaker works too) · Bottom: thermal pants + windproof hard shell pants (like Decathlon MH500) · Accessories: thick wool socks, high-top snow boots, hat, scarf, and a warm face mask are essential. Protect your hands, feet, and face well to avoid the cold. · -- This is roughly a two-day, one-night itinerary with a relaxed pace, perfect for travelers who enjoy quiet snowy landscapes and want to avoid crowds. Currently, not many people know about this place. The snowfields are pristine, the rime ice dense, and you can stop anytime along the way to daydream or take photos. If you’re looking for a truly “immersive” winter wonderland, Xunke deserves a spot on your list. Tip: Safety first when driving on snow—maintain speed and keep a safe braking distance; watch your footing when shooting, and it’s best to wear crampons.

Autumn Reed Bank Cycling Loop at Xingkai Lake, Jixi, Heilongjiang. — traveler post in Jixi

Autumn Reed Bank Cycling Loop at Xingkai Lake, Jixi, Heilongjiang.

The Autumn Reed Bank cycling loop at Xingkai Lake offers the most expansive views of this China-Russia border lake. The path follows the shoreline, where autumn transforms the reeds into a golden sea against the vast, misty waters. With flocks of water birds gliding by, cycling here is a truly refreshing experience. The entire 30-kilometer route is flat and easy to ride, making it perfect for a leisurely trip. We suggest visiting in September or October when the reeds are at their most spectacular. It’s about a 1.5-hour drive from downtown Jixi. You can find local fishing villages nearby, where the signature "Big White Fish" and lake shrimp are fresh and reasonably priced. The sunset casting a golden glow over the reeds is a sight you won't want to miss—it's incredibly photogenic. 📸

Xingkai Lake Wetland Park

The lake stretches as far as the eye can see, with the setting sun and soaring wild geese. It's autumn season, when the water and sky merge into one. From the viewing platform, you can gaze out into the distance, a truly relaxing experience. There's even a beach by the lake, making me feel like I'm at the seaside.

However, the scenic area also has some shortcomings, such as inflated restaurant prices, inadequate infrastructure, chaotic parking management, and poor toilet hygiene.

Hutou Tourism Scenic Area

The museum itself is very well done, and it is worth the trip. The children received a good patriotic education! There are a few areas that need improvement. 1. The parking lot is too chaotic and needs to be planned. 2. The toilets are very unhygienic and need to be improved! 3. The memorial park is under construction and is closed. It is better to give a literal reminder of this information at the entrance of the main museum to avoid disappointment. After all, the two scenic spots are nearly two kilometers apart.

The fortress is dozens of kilometers long, with the deepest part reaching more than 70 meters.
