Heilongjiang Riverside Park
黑龙江公园
A riverside promenade along the south bank of the Heilongjiang (Amur) River, with Blagoveshchensk in Russia less than a kilometre across the water. It is Heihe's most iconic scenic stretch.
Heihe has built a riverside park and promenade several kilometres long along the south bank of the Heilongjiang River. From the shore you can clearly see the churches, apartment blocks and riverside boulevards of Blagoveshchensk on the opposite bank. The two cities face each other across the water and are often called the "Sino-Russian twin cities." On summer evenings the river breeze is pleasant, and residents stroll, fish and take boat trips. In winter the river freezes over, and you can watch winter swimmers and enjoy snow and ice activities. Admission is free, and it is an easy walk from Central Street. The best time to visit is in the evening, when the lights on both banks come on. The middle of the river is the international border, so tour boats must not cross it, and you should never throw anything toward the Russian side.
