Things to do in Jiamusi

Just got back from Heixiazi Island, still feeling the effects! The moment I stepped off the car, the wind was filled with the cool, moist air of the Heilongjiang and Ussuri Rivers 🌬️. Looking out, there were endless green meadows stretching to the horizon and a blindingly blue sky. When the Sino-Russian border marker stood by the roadside, I suddenly got goosebumps. That feeling of truly standing on the easternmost edge of our motherland was truly amazing 🥹 You absolutely must go see the sunrise before dawn!! 🌅 I'm speechless at the feeling of the first rays of sunlight in all of China falling on your face. The river to the east is bathed in a golden glow, with a few small fishing boats floating on its surface. In the distance, the spires of a Russian church gleam softly in the morning light. Any three photos you take on your phone could be used as wallpapers. 📸 The wooden boardwalk in the wetland park creaks and groans underfoot. 🦋 A few chubby little squirrels dart out from the roadside, swaggering past your feet without a care in the world. Large patches of water lilies float in the wetland's ponds, and wild ducks with their chicks splash around. If you're lucky, you might even spot a red-crowned crane flapping its wings and flying through the reeds. Standing there, even your breath seems to slow down. 🍃 A stroll around Dongji Square in the evening is even more amazing! A huge sculpture of the character "东" (Dong, meaning east) stands prominently in the center of the square. The wind makes the national flag flutter loudly. Looking further afield, the confluence of two rivers reveals waters of varying shades, one deep and one light. Many people line the banks, cameras in hand, waiting for the sunset. They chat amongst themselves, all friends from across the country who have come specifically to see the scenery of Dongji. The lively atmosphere is so comforting! ⚠️A word of caution for those planning a trip: The temperature difference between day and night on the island is enormous! Even in summer, bring a thick coat. The river wind will chill you to the bone in no time, and the mosquitoes are incredibly fierce—spray on mosquito repellent like crazy! I'm so glad I came. It's not one of those crowded, trendy tourist spots; it's a place where you can quietly experience all the romance and awe. 💛 I'll definitely come back in winter to see it covered in a blanket of white snow!! #HeixiaziIsland #DongjiTrip #OffTheBeatenPathTravelDestinationInChina

Dongji Square, also known as Sun Square, is located in Heixiazi Island Town, Fuyuan City, Heilongjiang Province, at the confluence of the Fuyuan Waterway and the Ussuri River. It faces the Russian town of Kazakovetsvo to the east across the Ussuri River and borders Heixiazi Island to the north across the Fuyuan Waterway. Covering an area of ​​36,000 square meters, Dongji Square features the River Mouth Square, the Sun Pavilion, a veranda, a pole marker, a stele, a waterside pavilion, a boundary marker, a four-pole cultural wall, a map of China, a cultural stone at the entrance, a cruise ship pier, and a white marble fence. Every day, the sun rises in front of the pole marker at the easternmost end of the square.

The boat trip offers a clear view of the confluence of the Heilongjiang and Songhua rivers. The two rivers, clearly separated, merge into one, a truly spectacular sight. The boat ticket is 10 yuan, making it the cheapest of all the boat trips.

A place where you can overlook the whole city! I don't know why there are no comments? ! There are two routes. You can take a taxi to the intersection of Dongming Temple and Dongji Pavilion, and then walk about one kilometer. You can drive up, but I don't know why the road is blocked. You can enter from the "Martyrs Cemetery" on foot and walk up along the stone road. It takes about 35 to 55 minutes. You need a good sense of direction because there are no guides at some forks! A very good viewing point, you can overlook the whole city, and you can also overlook Heilongjiang River and Russia on the other side.

How can you not check in at Fuyuan Port when you go to Fuyuan? Fuyuan Port can only be seen from a distance. The boundary monument is also on the other side of the port. It rained a little on the day I went there. I watched Fuyuan Port in the rain and remembered this first port in the East!

The wetland environment is well protected, with abundant birdlife and clear water.

There is a small water station at the bottom of Sifeng Mountain. It is an environmental protection project and is under construction. There is a wooden plank road built around the water. The area is not very large, and the air is OK. It is a place for leisure walks.

Jiamusi is located in the confluence of the Heilongjiang, Songhua and Wusuli rivers in northeast my country. The easternmost part of Jiamusi is the Fuyuan Delta where the Heilongjiang and Wusuli rivers meet, commonly known as the "Heixiazi Island". This is the easternmost part of my country and the first place in my country to welcome the sunrise. Jiamusi is therefore known as the "Easternmost Point of China" and the "First City in the East", and the Fuyuan City under its jurisdiction is known as the "First County in the East"...

Jiamusi Riverside Park (locally called "Jiangyan'er") Located on the south bank of the Songhua River, this long, open-air park is not a closed loop and is free and open all day. Established in 1958, it was built along the Songhua River flood control dike. The original section was 3.3 kilometers long, and the expanded riverside scenic belt is about 5-6 kilometers long. Walking along it is one-way; you have to turn back to return to the starting point. Must-see attractions: 1. The 10th Anniversary of the Founding of the People's Republic of China Memorial Tower (locally called the "Big Tower"): The park's iconic landmark, a 33-meter-high granite tower with reliefs depicting the city's history. A must-see for riverside photos. Note that this is not the Harbin Flood Control Memorial Tower. 2. Educated Youth Square: Sculptures themed around educated youth from the Great Northern Wilderness, commemorating those who went to the Sanjiang Plain. It has a strong nostalgic atmosphere. 3. Riverside Boardwalk and Waterfront Platform: Stroll along the Songhua River, enjoy the river breeze, and watch the sunset in the evening. Early September evenings are particularly pleasant. The park also features sculptures themed around the Anti-Japanese United Army and the Hezhe people's fishing and hunting culture. • Visit Duration: A leisurely stroll of 2-3 kilometers takes 1-1.5 hours; it's not recommended to attempt the entire 6-kilometer route. • Transportation: Multiple bus routes from the city center provide direct access; the fare is 1 yuan, and the riverbank is right next to the bus stop. • Best Time to Visit: Evening, to watch the sunset over the river; a popular spot for locals to take an after-dinner walk. • The park is long and narrow, so you can easily find bus stops to return to the city center without having to walk back the same way. It's a popular spot for Jiamusi residents to stroll, not overly commercialized, and offers very pleasant views of the Songhua River.

Wusu Town is believed to be a must-visit place for everyone who comes to Fuyuan to look for the east. Compared with the past, in addition to just looking at a few buildings in Wusu Town, now Wusu Town has more fun, such as the fleet of warships docked next to Wusu Town, so that everyone can watch and take pictures from a distance. In addition, because the road leading to Dongji Square is blocked here, a boat tour of Dongji Square is opened. Everyone can take a boat round trip for more than an hour to visit the entire Dongji Square and the Russian style opposite.
