Mudanjiang City

Fairy-tale snow cabins in winter, Jingpo Lake and Diaoshuilou Waterfall in summer, plus the China–Russia border city of Suifenhe.

Mudanjiang City lies in southeastern Heilongjiang, with mountains of the Changbai range extending across it and Russia to the east. Jingpo Lake in Ning'an is a volcanic-lava barrier lake, and Diaoshuilou Waterfall is most spectacular in summer when the flow is full. The "China Snow Town" at Shuangfeng Forest Farm in Hailin is famous for its mushroom-shaped snow drifts and fairy-tale log cabins, a popular winter destination. Suifenhe is a border port city with Russia and has a strong Russian flavor. See snow in winter (Dec–Feb) and visit the lake in summer. The gateways are Mudanjiang Hailang International Airport and Mudanjiang Station, and the Harbin–Mudanjiang high-speed railway connects to Harbin.
