Heihe City

The Wudalianchi volcanic field and Heihe, the twin city across from Russia, combine geological wonders with exotic border-river atmosphere.

Heihe City lies in northern Heilongjiang, facing Blagoveshchensk, Russia, across the Heilongjiang (Amur) River, and is an important port of entry for trade with Russia. Wudalianchi has old and new volcanic groups and five bead-like lakes formed by lava damming; it is a UNESCO Global Geopark and its mineral water is also well known. In Heihe's urban area you can look across the river at the Russian city and feel the border atmosphere. Summer and autumn are the best times to travel, and in winter you can experience the ice and snow of the border river. The gateways are Heihe Aihui Airport and Wudalianchi Dedu Airport, and you can also go by train.
