Heilongjiang

China's northernmost province of snow and ice, where Harbin's Ice and Snow Festival, volcanic lakes and border-river scenery are highlights in both winter and summer.

Heilongjiang lies at the northeastern tip of China. Its northern and eastern borders with Russia follow the Heilong (Amur) and Wusuli (Ussuri) rivers, and its terrain includes the Greater and Lesser Khingan ranges, the Sanjiang Plain and the Songnen Plain. Harbin is known for Central Street, Harbin Ice and Snow World and its Russian-style architecture, and Snow Town and Yabuli are popular in winter. The volcanic landforms of Wudalianchi, Xingkai Lake and the red-crowned cranes of Zhalong Wetland in Qiqihar suit summer visits, Heihe, Tongjiang and Bear's Eye Island (Heixiazi) in Fuyuan let you experience the border-river and frontier atmosphere, and Daqing has wetlands and hot springs. Come for snow and ice in winter and to escape the heat in summer. Harbin Taiping Airport and high-speed rail are the main gateways.
