2025 Tongjiang Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

After visiting Fuyuan, I hadn't originally planned to go to Tongjiang, but upon checking the map, it was only 190 kilometers away. So off we went by chartered car, choosing to stay in the downtown area upon arrival. First stop: Russian Style Garden, not far from our accommodation and within walking distance. We passed by Tongjiang's largest Christian church and paused for a moment. Bathed in the bright morning sun and breathing in the fresh air, strolling through the garden was a delightful experience. Built in 2013 with an exotic Russian theme, the garden embodies the concept of "global harmony and everlasting peace." I wandered through various attractions—the Matryoshka Doll Square, Windmill Manor, Celebrity Square, Dock Square, and the Landscape Tower—with the forest boardwalk resembling a work of art. A leisurely visit takes about an hour and a half. Second stop: Hezhen Ethnic Museum. A taxi ride from our lodging cost a flat rate of 10 yuan (a local custom). Tongjiang is the birthplace of the Hezhen people, making the museum a must-visit. However, upon arriving excitedly, disappointment set in—we were told the Hezhen Ethnic Museum had merged with the Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum and was currently under preparation for a new exhibition. Third stop: Sanjiangkou Ecological Tourism Zone. Another 10-yuan taxi ride brought us here. The main entrance was closed for renovations ahead of the 7th Heilongjiang Provincial Tourism Industry Conference, so we were directed to enter from the side. Sanjiangkou was the highlight of our Tongjiang trip. The vast river surface revealed the striking confluence of the yellowish Songhua River and the dark-green Heilongjiang River, creating a breathtaking spectacle. This is Sanjiangkou—I couldn't tear my eyes away from the majestic view, lost in thought. Isn't this a perfect example of "distinctly different"? Nature is truly miraculous. The solemn border marker No. 244, emblazoned with the national emblem, reminded me that Tongjiang is also a border city. Fourth stop: Sanjiangkou National Wetland Park. With no taxis available after leaving Sanjiangkou, we walked there. Tongjiang is also known as the "Wetland Paradise" and "Natural Oxygen Bar." The fresh, invigorating environment was punctuated only by the calls of birds. Immersing ourselves in nature felt wonderful! Fifth stop: Riverside Park. Walking along the river from Sanjiangkou National Wetland Park, we reached the core scenic area of Riverside Park. Built in 2010 along the tributary of the Songhua River, the 6,230-meter-long park features a large relief wall, calligraphy stele forest wall, Educated Youth Square, Bell Tower Square, and Umbrella Pavilion Square. Exploring it in the rain added a unique charm! Sixth stop: Hala Susu Customs House Ruins. Almost opposite the core area of Riverside Park, this site dates back to 1910. It stands as a witness to the imperialist powers' invasion of China and the Qing government's humiliating concessions. Now a key cultural relic protection unit in Heilongjiang Province, this century-old memory has been transformed into Tongjiang's Historical and Cultural Square.

I used to have a friend from Tongjiang City, Heilongjiang Province, so I have known about Tongjiang since then. I never thought that one day I would come to this city that I am familiar with but also a stranger to. Early in the morning, I drove from Suifenhe. The blue sky was filled with clouds, and the road was wide, straight, and flat. We were in a great mood all the way, and finally arrived at the familiar Tongjiang Riverside Park before noon. It's so beautiful! We walked along the riverbank for a long time and didn't see the end. Later, we found that there were many sculptures and stone carvings on the riverbank, all of which recorded the history of the people on both sides of the river. I stood there and admired them for a long time, feeling that I came a little late. Why did I come to such a good place so late? The city of Tongjiang is also very prosperous. We had a simple lunch at a restaurant in the city and set off again.

❤ Recommended reason: Sanjiangkou Ecotourism Area is famous for its location at the confluence of the Songhua and Heilong Rivers. 👍 Top recommendation: The Heilong River is dark green, while the Songhua River is yellow due to its high sediment content. The two rivers meet at Sanjiangkou, and the difference in color is obvious. The scenic area has set up some landmarks for tourists to take photos with, such as a stone with "Sanjiangkou" written on it and another with "China-Russia Border" written on it. 🌟 Highlights: The main attractions of Sanjiangkou Ecotourism Area are the Tong-San Highway Zero Point Monument and the landmark tower.

❤ Recommended reason: Sanjiangkou National Wetland Park is part of the Sanjiangkou Ecotourism Area in Tongjiang and is one of China's three major wetlands. 👍 Top recommendation: Sanjiangkou National Wetland Park is a typical representative of the less human-disturbed wetland ecosystem at the eastern end of the Sanjiang Plain. The area is dotted with marshes and crisscrossed by rivers. The natural vegetation is mainly marshy meadows and shrubs. The unique natural environment, good vegetation, and hydrological conditions provide an excellent habitat and breeding ground for various wild animals, creating a rich diversity of wetland animals. 🌟 Highlights: A 4,240-meter-long ring road was built in Sanjiangkou National Wetland Park. I was lucky to walk here and not miss it. Although it rained on the way, the scenery of the wetland park made up for the inconvenience caused by the rain. The sun always shines after the rain, and the fragrance of rice flowers and golden wheat waves are carried by the wind. Walking on the Sanjiang Plain, you will find that the rice fields on both sides of the road are also a beautiful sight.

❤Recommendation reason: The "Tongjiang City Intangible Cultural Heritage Exhibition Hall" mainly displays the life and production of the Hezhe people and some fish skin works. 👍Most Recommended: The hardworking and wise Hezhe people created a splendid fishing and hunting culture. Every ethnic group has its own unique cultural context and genealogy. If this genealogy and culture want to develop well, it should not be recorded in books, but integrated into life. 👍Most Recommended: The Hezhe people are a traditional fishing and hunting ethnic group in northern China. They have lived in the Heilongjiang, Songhuajiang and Ussuri River basins for generations and are known as the "people who chase the sun." 🌟Highlights: Tongjiang, a small border town located at the confluence of the Heilongjiang River and the Songhua River and across the river from Russia, is one of the birthplaces and gathering places of the Hezhe people.

❤Recommended reason: The former Lahasusu Customs House in Tongjiang is a well-equipped building complex with a European architectural style. After the Qing government signed the Boxer Protocol with the imperialist powers in 1901, it decided to use tariffs as collateral to pay off debts and set up three customs houses in Heilongjiang as compensation. The Lahasusu Customs House was one of them. 👍Top recommendation: The former Lahasusu Customs House is a Russian-style brick and wood structure with a unique design. It is the only remaining historical building in Tongjiang and the best-preserved former customs building in Northeast China. 🌟Highlights: The Lahasusu Customs House Historical and Cultural Square includes the Customs House Museum, Former Site Exhibition Hall, Customs Hospital Site, Wu Lien-teh Memorial Hall, Customs Inspection Factory Site, Customs Inspection Site Restoration, Channel Indicator Lighthouse, Century-old Navy Iron Anchor, and Century-old Elm Forest in the Courtyard.

It's very close to drive from Fuyuan to Tongjiang, about two hours, and still take the US border 331 There is a music corridor where you can hear the Wusuli Boat Song. I saw the sign but didn’t hear the song 😂😂😂, maybe the three of us have poor hearing The hotel in Tongjiang is great. You can eat Hezhe ethnic group meals and Russian meals. You can also take Meiduo with you. The first place to go in Tongjiang is naturally Sanjiangkou, a free attraction, with strong winds by the river and plenty of parking spaces Then there is the former site of Lahasusu Customs, which is free and has a separate park. Parking is across the road. There are many trees in the yard and a lighthouse. It is very nice to take pictures. The Russian Style Garden is free and you can go there or not. There is a Matryoshka Square and nothing else. You can just stroll around and kill time.

Sanjiangkou is located 4 kilometers northeast of Tongjiang City, Jiamusi City, Heilongjiang Province. It is the confluence of the Songhua River and the Heilongjiang River and is part of the China-Russia border. The Heilongjiang River is dark green, gentle and open, and the Songhua River is yellow due to more silt. After the two rivers converge, the river is surging, the water color is clear, and the eastward flow is tens of miles without mixing. It is one of the famous natural beauties in the Northeast. As an important section of the China-Russia border, Sanjiangkou was an important node for military defense and trade in history. Now it has become a famous tourist attraction. This was a battlefield more than 90 years ago. In October 1929, the Zhongdong Road Incident broke out. The Chinese and Soviet armies had military conflicts near Manzhouli. The Northeast Army failed. On October 12, the Soviet army launched an attack on the Northeast Navy, setting off the Sino-Soviet Navy Sanjiangkou Fuyu Battle. The Soviet army dispatched thousands of people such as aircraft, warships, machine gun vehicles, cavalry, and infantry to attack the Chinese army in Tongjiang. The battle was extremely fierce. In the end, Tongjiang City was lost. Under the repeated bombing of Soviet aircraft, Fuyu County also fell. The current Sanjiangkou China-Russia border area is a peaceful scene, and people play leisurely. ⏳Tour time: Free opening, tour time 1 hour to 2 hours.

At the confluence of three rivers, where the Heilongjiang River and the Songhua River meet, the combined two-color river is considered as the third river. It's not very clear in winter! In summer, you can see the boundary of the two rivers. It's very spectacular! The old site of the century-old customs, Laha Susu. After the Qing government signed the Boxer Protocol with the imperialist powers in 1901, the Qing government began to mortgage customs duties to pay off debts, so it set up three customs in the Heilongjiang area as compensation, and Laha Susu in Tongjiang was one of them. The century-old customs, witnessing history! The taxi driver said it wasn't cold today, but I was in a hurry to go out and forgot to take my ear bag, and I was frozen! There are not many people coming to Tongjiang in winter, the toilets by the river are not open, I was looking for a toilet all the way, very speechless. Today's sky is pink and blue, the museum is closed, not open, maybe it's winter! I'm leaving! Goodbye.

Standing at Sanjiangkou, you can see the beautiful winter scenery. The river is shrouded in mist, like a dream. The mountains in the distance are looming in the mist, adding a mysterious beauty. The Songhua River and the Heilongjiang River meet here to form the Tongjiang River. Two kinds of river water and two colors form a beautiful landscape! Although Sanjiangkou in winter lacks the hustle and bustle of summer, it has more tranquility and solemnity. The trees on the shore have taken off their summer attires and are now covered with crystal clear icicles, sparkling brightly under the sunlight. In fact, the beauty of Sanjiangkou lies not only in its natural scenery, but also in its history and culture! This was the only way for ancient merchants and a source of inspiration for literati and poets... Sanjiangkou
