Tuzipai Boundary Marker

土字牌

A boundary marker inscribed with the word 'Tuzipai', set up in 1886 after the border was resurveyed; it marks the eastern end of the Sino-Russian border on the lower Tumen River.

The Tuzipai Boundary Marker was erected on the bank of the Tumen River in 1886, after Qing Imperial Commissioner Wu Dazheng and Russian officials resurveyed the border. It is the final boundary marker of the eastern section of the Sino-Russian border, and the stone is inscribed with the words 'Tuzipai'. Behind it lies the history of Wu Dazheng's push to secure the Tumen River's access to the sea. The marker is near Longhu Pavilion and is visited on the Fangchuan scenic area ticket, with a panel beside it explaining the survey. The area is a border zone, so follow the marked route and do not approach the barbed-wire fence.
