Located in Ning'an, Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang Province, the Jingpo Lake Scenic Area is a National AAAAA-level tourist attraction and a World Geopark. Comprising a 1,726-square-kilometer area, the scenic area encompasses the 100-mile-long lake, the primeval forest at the crater, and the ruins of Longquan Prefecture, the capital of the Bohai Kingdom. Jingpo Lake is the world's largest volcanic lava-dammed lake, stretching 45 kilometers from north to south and covering approximately 90 square kilometers. Famous attractions include the Diaoshuilou Waterfall and Maogong Mountain, and visitors can also experience the refreshing coolness of the underground forest at the crater. The best time to visit is from June to September, with waterfalls in the summer and icefalls in the winter.
Jingpo Lake, Diaojiaolou Waterfall, and Di Huanran, the local "first cliff diver," are the representatives of this activity. He has performed cliff diving here since the 1980s and has continued to do so for decades, making it one of the iconic sights of Jingpo Lake.
The boat ride is beautiful.

Yanji Dinosaur Kingdom is still worth visiting. We traveled around the world and went to Beijing Universal last month. Yanji Dinosaur Kingdom has qualified hardware configuration and excellent green landscape. The service attitude and quality of the staff are quite good. It is better than we expected.
Однозначно рекомендуем к посещению! Очень понравился парк. Ребенку до 120 см вход бесплатный. Но и на большинство аттракционов по росту малышей не пускают. Пожалуйста, учитывайте это при посещении, и оговаривайте этот факт с ребенком во избежании негатива. Но там и для таких малышей есть что посмотреть и где покататься. Мы были в жару, поэтому большую часть времени провели в помещении. На улице брали электрокар (160ю час, 240 ю два и залог 200 ю) очень нас спас. Проехали по парку, заехали в парк птиц, к животным, покормили их. Красивое шоу русалок, от дельфинов мы всегда в восторге.

I went there with friends during the holidays. The surroundings are nice, transportation is convenient, and the ticket price is affordable. Overall, it's a great value for money. We all had a great time and would definitely come back if we had the chance. The entrance is the Qing Dynasty Emperor's Shrine, and further inside is the temple. The Buddha statue is really huge, and it's very convenient to get there by car. It's worth a visit!
Liuding Mountain is not very large, but the natural scenery is OK. There is a golden tripod Buddha. You can see far from the top of the mountain, and the view is wide. The top of the mountain is cool, which is suitable for weekend leisure. It is still a 5A scenic spot, but it is not as good as advertised.

Skiing: There are many beginner, intermediate and advanced ski trails. The beginner trail is suitable for beginners. It is 500 meters long and is located by Lingzhi Lake. The alpine trail is the longest in Asia, 5 kilometers long and suitable for intermediate and advanced skiers.
Snowmobile: Speeding on the snow, feel the speed and passion.
Snow cable car: You can overlook the entire ski resort and the surrounding forest and snow fields by taking the cable car.
Very nice~ Coach Xiao Liu is a very nice person and teaches very well. The 2-hour teaching was very enjoyable. He said I have talent (I can skate on real ice and roller skates), and took me to the intermediate track, where I learned how to brake and take off the double board with bare hands✌️

The first stop on my summer trip back to Northeast China was Hengdaohezi. The Siberian Tiger Park, located a 1.3-kilometer walk from Hengdaohezi East Station, is home to countless Siberian tigers—a number I, a young Southerner, wouldn't even dream of seeing in a zoo. The immersive bus experience is truly fascinating. Besides the tigers, there are many other animals to see. Tickets are incredibly affordable, with the sightseeing bus costing only 10 yuan. It's a great place to broaden children's horizons, and it's a wonderful experience for adults, too!
There are more tigers than people, and the experience is very good. Both adults and children like the interaction of feeding the animals, especially the close contact with the lemurs, which is really great. The wild release area is too small and there is only one kind of animal, tigers, which is the only drawback. Overall, it is worth the ticket price and it is quite good.

The unique three-generation national gate in the same frame, the highest national gate in the north, are all very meaningful check-in places, as well as the old and new boundary markers, and some introductions to the Middle East Railway. It is a very meaningful national gate scenic spot. It is necessary to take children to understand this history.
Suifenhe National Gate is located in Suifenhe City, Heilongjiang Province, China. It is one of the important border passages in Northeast China. Suifenhe National Gate is not only an important land port between China and Russia, but also an important window for China's opening up to the outside world.

It is a border town that is worth visiting, with beautiful environment, picturesque scenery and green mountains. It inspires our patriotic feelings, allows children to receive patriotic education from an early age, and feel proud of our great motherland!
It is worth visiting the national gate scenic spot, which shows the style of our great country and makes us very proud. You can see North Korea from a distance. Many people take photos as souvenirs. It is very interesting. You can see North Korea with the merchant's telescope.

This is a strange border village, belonging to Jilin Yanbian State, her only road to contact the motherland was washed by the Tumen River in 1957, can only borrow the territory of the former Soviet Union for a long time, in 1983 the motherland repaired a road only 8 meters wide, 888 meters long, once again connected her but I passed this road, The road is very wide, Yangguanping Road embankment Road, the right side is North Korea, the left side is the China-Russia border, but it feels that it has been moved out a little, there is no embarrassment of only 8 meters. Arrived at the scenic Longhu Pavilion, a 13-story high tower, with a wide view, you can see the three countries along the pagoda walking path all the way forward, standing at the end of the border where I can stand, straight distance to the sea 10 kilometers, to Vladivostok 120 kilometers, this is probably the most painful understanding of "Wangyang Xing sigh"! A bridge in the distance crosses the Tumen River, built by Russia and North Korea, and thus completely broke the possibility of going to sea along the river.
Looking at the three countries, an interesting attraction, standing on the tower overlooking, left hand Russia and right hand North Korea, really a very strange border village, Fangchuan Village, her only road to contact the motherland was washed by the Tumen River in 1957, and can only borrow the territory of the former Soviet Union for a long time. In 1983, the motherland built a road that was only 8 meters wide and 888 meters long, and connected her again. Standing at the end of the border where I can stand, the straight line distance to the sea is 10 kilometers, and to Vladivostok 120 kilometers. This is probably the most painful understanding of "Wangyang Xing sigh". We lost the sea outlet in Jilin. The only river, the Russian Dynasty built a bridge and could not be navigable.

To enter the scenic area, you need to buy a bus ticket for the entire 27 kilometers, with three parking spots. The first parking spot is a lava tunnel about 200 meters long, which can be walked through. The second parking spot is the Ice Cave Fairy Cave and the Fog Cave, and the wooden plank road needs to be walked for a while. The third main scenic spot is the crater, with a total of four craters. The most spectacular one is the Qitian Pavilion to watch the No. 3 crater. The No. 1 crater is the largest, but the plank road leading to the No. 1 crater is not open. The advantage of self-driving is that you can avoid the concentrated flow of people from the bus at the first two parking spots. Squirrels and snakes were encountered during the climb, so don't leave the wooden plank road casually. There are shade trees throughout the climb, and you are not afraid of the sun. The whole wooden plank road, climbing is almost not difficult, and you must stick to it. I saw a girl accompanying her grandmother to climb the mountain. The girl was tired all the way, and she gave up dozens of steps short of giving up and returned the same way. It's a pity that the journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step. We arrived at the Qitian Pavilion on a weekday during the summer vacation at noon. There were not many people, so we could enjoy the peak scenery for a moment. It is worth recommending.
Because I bought the ticket to Jingpo Lake, the ticket to this scenic spot is free. I only bought the bus ticket. There is really no need to drive in by myself. There are tigers in it and you are not allowed to get off the bus. The first scenic spot in the scenic spot is relatively cold, so it is recommended to wear long sleeves. The temperature in the second and third scenic spots is very comfortable, suitable for the elderly and children to play, and they will not be too tired.

It's worth going, but the ticket price is not cheap, especially driving a snowmobile by yourself, which is very expensive.
And it's really not easy to walk on foot, the snow is deep and the road is long.
The management is relatively loose, and it's okay if you keep a normal attitude. It's worth going!
It was freezing, my toes and fingers were frozen. But it was beautiful! It was worth a visit. It was 1.6 kilometers from the entrance to the post station, and 2.2 kilometers from the post station to the center of the lake. We hiked to the center of the lake, took a snowmobile back to the post station, and then hiked from the post station to the entrance.
It takes 1.5 hours to charter a car from the town, and it costs 350 yuan for a round trip during the Spring Festival.
The chartered cars/through buses on the Internet all leave very early, and our high-speed rail could not catch up. We left at 10:45 and arrived at about 12 o'clock. We came out at around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and it started to get dark!
