Eastern Heilongjiang Border: Khanka Lake to the Easternmost Point
A grand self-driving loop starting from Suifenhe, heading north along the China-Russia border to Fuyuan, and returning via Tongjiang and Jiamusi.
Based on the G331 Eastern Loop published by the Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism, this route is paced over 10 days to explore border ports, fortresses, Khanka Lake (Xingkai Lake), the Ussuri River, and Heixiazi Island, as well as Hezhe ethnic villages. The region is vast and sparsely populated, with average daily driving times of 3 to 5 hours and limited supply points on some sections. It is ideal for experienced road-trippers who love border history, grand lakes, and mighty rivers. The drive from Dongning to Dangbi is the longest day of the trip.
June to September is the best time to visit. Road construction occurs occasionally along the border; check local traffic announcements before setting off.
