Things to do in Tangwang County

This summer, we visited Tangwanghe in Yichun. The Tangwanghe Scenic Area was truly relaxing; it's a wonderful place to escape the summer heat. We listened to the rustling of the pines in the forest, admired the quirky rocks, and lingered among the pigs in the woods, while the birch forest inspired endless daydreams.

The most satisfying part of the trip was Xinqing Wetland, which was truly unexpected. The crane release ceremony was unremarkable, but the yellow autumn grass, the distant trees, and the blue sky resembled a Van Gogh painting.

It's worth a visit. The place is large, so you can take your time exploring with your kids. The most amazing parts are the deer enclosure near the end in the afternoon and the lakeside area outside the visitor center – both are incredibly beautiful.

Great place, an important part of the Tangwang River National Park!

From Qiqihar to Heihe, we took the national highway and crossed the Lesser Khingan Mountains. It was so beautiful, and the air quality was good. The speed limit was 60-80, and we drove while enjoying the scenery. Except for the fact that there were more cars when approaching Heihe, there were few cars throughout the journey, which was very pleasant. The toilets in the parking areas along the way were also good and relatively modern.

The adorable deer in the deer park and the incredibly high levels of negative ions in the forest park made this trip full of joy and relaxation. The driver was warm, polite, and humorous, picking us up and dropping us off at the attractions on time. A happy and enjoyable journey! 👍

It was a fantastic experience. The entire hike offered constantly changing scenery. Squirrels even approached us for food along the way. From the high platform, we enjoyed panoramic views of the mountains, and on the way down, a stream was right beside us. Three different ways to experience the mountain in one place – truly wonderful! I highly recommend climbing to the high platform and walking the entire way to the exit.

When it rains heavily, the water turns yellowish-brown. There are two routes for the tour, with a fork at a point where several shops are concentrated. The birch forest route perfectly avoids the crowds and leads directly to the main attractions, but the downside is that there's a section with hundreds of stairs to climb at the end. The other route starts from the forest itself and is less strenuous, but it's very crowded. When I went, the road was under construction, so I had to take a detour.

Seeing the volcanic rock formations was a fun and educational experience. The birch leaves turn a beautiful golden yellow in autumn. The path is a wooden boardwalk, flat and gentle, making it easy to walk. Overall, the experience was quite pleasant.

Wudalianchi is a key scenic spot in 2026. The whole visit takes about an hour and a half. Enter from the East Gate, walk to the middle pier, take a boat to the West Gate, and then take a shuttle bus back to the East Gate.
