Ussuri River Starting Point
乌苏里江起点
A monument and square on the Hutou riverbank marking the starting point of the Ussuri River. Across the water is a Russian town, making it the first stop for border photos.
After the Songacha River flows in upstream of Hutou town, the Ussuri River officially becomes the Sino-Russian boundary river. On the Hutou riverbank, the Ussuri River Square has a stone marker inscribed “Starting Point of the Ussuri River,” and nearby is Sino-Russian boundary marker No. 292. A riverside path offers views of the houses and railway bridge of Dalnerechensk across the river, and the sunsets here are beautiful. The square is free to visit and sits next to the Hutou Wharf and the town centre. It is within walking distance of the Guandi Temple. When taking photos, stay behind the riverside warning line and do not photograph military facilities.
