Beihong Village
北红村
A quieter border village even farther north than Beiji Village, with a viewing platform overlooking the Heilong River and the whole village.
Beihong Village lies about 60 km east of Beiji Village, at roughly 53°30′ N. It is one of China's highest-latitude villages and is known as the 'northernmost village in China'. The village is small and retains traditional log-cabin houses and small buildings in Russian style. It is less commercialized than Beiji Village, which suits visitors who want to see an unspoiled border village. A viewing platform overlooks the whole village and the Heilong River, and along the riverbank is Beihong Riverside Park, with the 'Northernmost Sailor' sculpture, a display of border patrol boats and more. In winter the village often sits around -40°C, and the clear mornings after snowfall are very photogenic. Beihong Village is usually combined with Beiji Village and Longjiang First Bend on one route. Self-driving requires caution on icy winter roads. There are a few guesthouses in the village, with limited dining options.
