Heilongjiang Province
Heilongjiang Province is located in the northeastern part of China, making it the northernmost and highest-latitude province in the country. To the north and east, it borders Russia across the river. The terrain is generally higher in the northwest, north, and southeast, while lower in the northeast and southwest, consisting mainly of mountains, plateaus, plains, and water bodies. The province is home to rivers such as the Heilongjiang River and Songhua River, as well as lakes including Xingkai Lake and Jingpo Lake. Heilongjiang has a cold temperate and temperate continental monsoon climate.
Heilongjiang Province is rich in river and lake tourism resources, represented by three major water systems—Heilongjiang River, Ussuri River, and Songhua River—and four iconic lakes: Xingkai Lake, Jingpo Lake, Lianhua Lake, and Wudalianchi.
As the northernmost province of China, Heilongjiang boasts top-tier ice and snow tourism resources characterized by its extreme cold climate, cultural themes of ice and snow, and breathtaking natural winter landscapes, which are uniquely attractive.
Heilongjiang is part of one of the world’s three major black soil belts and is China’s largest grain-producing province. Its green agricultural tourism resources are exemplified by the Sanjiang Plain. Additionally, the province has significant advantages in border tourism, represented by its border rivers and century-old ports.
Moreover, Heilongjiang has a long history, serving as the site of Shangjing Longquanfu of the Bohai Kingdom during the Tang Dynasty and Shangjing Huiningfu of the Jin Dynasty. Distinctive cultures of indigenous ethnic groups such as the Oroqen and Hezhe peoples add to its cultural richness. Furthermore, historical themes such as the Anti-Japanese Resistance culture and the Beidahuang (Great Northern Wilderness) culture have shaped renowned cultural landmarks.
