Central Street
中央街
Heihe's pedestrian shopping street, lined with European-style facades, Russian goods shops and restaurants. Locals dance in the square and Russian visitors stroll the street in the evenings.
Central Street is the liveliest pedestrian street in Heihe. Many buildings on both sides have Russian or European-style facades, and the street is lined with shops selling Russian goods, Western restaurants, bakeries and local eateries. Many signs are bilingual in Chinese and Russian, and you often meet Russian visitors out shopping. Summer evenings bring locals dancing and setting up stalls, and in winter the street is decorated with ice lanterns and ice sculptures. The north end of the street leads straight to the riverbank, where you can stroll along the water and watch the night view of the far shore. Admission is free. Recommended treats include Russian big bread (bolshoi), sausage and kvass.
