Big Heihe Island
大黑河岛
A river island in the Heilongjiang (Amur) with a China-Russia border trade zone and an international commerce city. Russian goods are concentrated here, and it is home to the Heihe port.
Big Heihe Island lies in the Heilongjiang (Amur) River, east of Heihe city proper. It is connected to the city by bridge and serves as a window for China-Russia border trade. The international commerce city and border residents' trade zone on the island sell Russian chocolate, purple-wrapped candies, flour, binoculars, matryoshka dolls and amber, and Russian merchants also come here to buy goods. The Heihe port passenger terminal is on the island, and boats to Blagoveshchensk, winter hovercraft and buses all depart from here. The island also has an amusement park, a Ferris wheel and a national flag square on the riverbank, where you can look across to the far shore.
