Where is Xingkai Lake? Xingkai Lake is a moderately eutrophic lake, located in Mishan City, east of Jixi City, Heilongjiang Province, in the border area between China and Russia. Half of the largest freshwater lake in China belongs to China, and most of it belongs to Russian.
Xingkai Lake is the largest lake I have ever been to. Taking a cruise and enjoying the scenery with the lake breeze is different from the feeling in Jiangnan. The lake is wide and endless, but the shore is flat. 100 km lakeshore, full of soft golden beaches. It is said that even if you walk 100 meters, the water level will not reach the waist of adults. The lake covers a large area. In addition to the scenic spots in Dangbi Town, you can have a casual look at other places. The wind and waves are very strong and the water is very cold. Lunch can be eaten at the Lakers' house. Steamed white fish and fried shrimp are local specialties. In addition, it is best to travel here by car. Xingkai Lake is a big scenic spot and public transportation is not very convenient.
There are two lakes in Xingkai Lake, Daxing Lake is the largest boundary lake in Northeast Asia, the south belongs to Russian jurisdiction, and nearly one third of the north belongs to China. Seen from a distance, the lake is as vast as the sea, and the beach on the shore is slender, but it is the longest beach in China. In contrast, the calm little Xingkai Lake is much more exquisite. The clear lake is sparkling in the sun, and the cool wind is cool.

Tips: 1. Standing on the highland of Longwang Temple by the lake, there are endless forests (Russia) in the north and endless plains, soybeans and corn in the south. 2. The Agricultural Reclamation Memorial Hall commemorates the reclamation and educated youth era in Wang Zhen, and it is forbidden to take photos. 3. According to historical records, Xingkai Lake was called Maituo Lake in the Tang Dynasty, which is famous for its rich crucian carp. Because the lake is shaped like "Yueqin", it was called "Beiqin Sea" in Jin Dynasty and changed to Xingkai Lake in Qing Dynasty. "Xingkai" is Manchu, which means "water flows from high places to low places". 4, white fish is very expensive, the main source of income for local people! Every July and August, many tourists will come here to play in the water to escape the heat.
