Fangchuan Scenic Area & Longhu Pavilion
防川 龙虎阁
At the tip of Fangchuan, where China, Russia, and North Korea meet, the 64.8-metre Longhu Pavilion gives a single view across Khasan in Russia, the Tumen River in North Korea, and the Sea of Japan.
Fangchuan Scenic Area lies about 70 km south of Hunchun city, in Jingxin Town, on a narrow strip of land stretching into the point where China, North Korea, and Russia meet. It is a 4A-rated scenic area. At the end of the scenic area stands the 64.8-metre Longhu Pavilion, whose observation level overlooks Khasan station in Russia, the Korea–Russia Friendship Railway Bridge, the Tumen River in North Korea, and the Sea of Japan 15 km away. Along the way you pass the Yangguanping embankment, with North Korea on one side and Russia on the other. Admission includes the shuttle bus within the area, which is open roughly 08:30 to 17:00. Entering the border zone requires carrying your ID card. In town, there are Fangchuan tourist shuttles or private car charters.
