Why are there so many Russians in Heihe, Heilongjiang?

Since China's reform and opening up, the national economy has advanced by leaps and bounds, and people's living standards have also been greatly improved. At the same time, people's life pressure and work pressure have increased simultaneously, so many people will choose to travel and relax in their spare time. Tourism is one of the most important leisure ways for people today. It can not only help us relax, but also broaden our horizons and see more interesting stories outside.

There are more than 200 countries in the world, so there are countless tourism resources. In addition to domestic tourism, China citizens also like to go to some neighboring countries. I believe many friends have traveled to Russia. As a fighting nation, China tourists have always been given a mysterious impression that there are many Russian beauties. It doesn't matter if you haven't been to Russia. Bian Xiao introduced this place today as a city in China. Although you don't have to go abroad, you can be sure that you will get there, just like traveling to Russia.

This mysterious place is Heihe River in the northeast of Heilongjiang, China. This is a city on the Sino-Russian border. China Heihe Port faces Heilongjiang, the third largest city in the Russian Far East, with a shortest distance of just over 700 meters. Due to the short distance, many Heihe locals will travel to Russia on weekends, and many Russian tourists will travel to Heihe. Some Russian tourists even settled in Heihe, where they worked and went to school.

Visitors who have been to Heihe City will find that the streets there are full of Russian elements, not only Russians, but also many buildings are in Russian style. Besides, most shops and restaurants in Heihe local streets use Russian signboards, but in fact, most of these shops are run by China people.

In addition, there are many sculptures engraved with Russian celebrities in Heihe, walking in the streets of Heihe. Even if the signboards of some merchants are in Chinese, they will be marked with striking Russian below so that Russian tourists can understand them. Bian Xiao learned from a tour guide friend that Russians pass through Heihe Customs in China without a visa, so many Russian tourists cross the border to eat, drink and have fun in Heihe on weekends, and basically they can go back and forth on the same day, because the distance is too close.

Some tourists from China travel to Heihe River, and when they see Russian-style buildings and various Russian pedestrians all over the street, they can't help wondering if they have gone abroad. Similarly, some Russian tourists who come to Heihe also said that playing in Heihe is like being in their own country, which makes people feel at home.

Ok, Bian Xiao will introduce you here today! Do you want to go to Heihe if you have the chance?
