Hengdaohezizhen

This is the Hengdaohezi version of a winter love song, where the snow is so clear and translucent it reminds one of Liu Changqing's poem: "At dusk, the mountains are distant, the air is cold, and the houses are poor."

🎈Before I came to Hengdaohezi in the Northeast, I knew almost nothing about this small town. However, when I set foot in this snowy area, I discovered the unique charm of the Northeast winter. 🎈First, let me mention the time in Harbin city. At that time, I had never seen such beautiful snow scenery. But when I arrived at Hengdaohezi, I was almost buried alive in a snow pit. This made me realize that the cold in the Northeast is not just cold, but a hellish experience. 🎈However, the beauty here is not just about the scenery. For me, the most important thing is to be able to live well. To cope with the cold, I wrapped myself like a meatball, and even the Northeast tigers gave me a look of disgust. My sisters all put on big cotton pants, warmers, down jackets, hats, gloves, scarves, and I was no exception. 🎈Hengdaohezi is a typical Northeast rural small town, with smoking chimneys and crooked utility poles. The heating here is sometimes on and sometimes off, and it gets completely dark at four o'clock every afternoon. Accompanied by heavy snow, you will find that there really exists a parallel time and space here. Walking in this small town, it seems to have traveled into the long winter of the Northeast. 🎈When touring Hengdaohezi, you can go to see the Gothic tower tip and the brightly colored train station, which is as beautiful as a fairy tale. In addition, at the railway crossing, you can also feel the unique charm under the heavy snow. The Church of the Virgin Mary is the only wooden carved structure church in China, with a typical Russian architectural style. In the museum, you can also learn about the life and culture of the emigrants at that time. In addition, there are more than 200 Russian-style wooden houses in the town, such as yellow houses, green doors, and board camphor trees, which are very beautiful to take pictures at will. The Hengdaohezi locomotive depot retains the historical memory of an era, and those rusty steam locomotive heads witnessed the glorious moment of this small town. 🎈If you are interested in animals, you must not miss the Hengdaohezi Northeast Tiger Forest Park. This is the world's largest artificial breeding base for Northeast tigers, and I am only a layer of wire mesh away from the Northeast big cats. Although Wu Song's experience of fighting tigers made me confused, it did not prevent me from being a cat lover to stroke the cats. Here, the Northeast tigers show their king of beasts, with thick fur, their beauty is fascinating. 🎈Regarding transportation, Hengdaohezi Town is about 278 kilometers away from Harbin, and it takes about 3 hours to drive. It takes about 1.5 hours to take the high-speed rail from Harbin, 88 kilometers away from Snow Town, and 61 kilometers away from Yabuli Town. If it is during the holiday period, it is recommended to drive there, because you can't get a car at all after getting off the car. Usually, taking the D-train back and forth is the most convenient choice. 🎈Regarding the itinerary, after you arrive at Hengdaohezi, you can go to visit the Northeast Tiger Forest Park first, but be careful not to stay outdoors for too long to avoid losing temperature. After eating tendon cakes at noon, you can visit the Russian-style small town, train station, town streets, railway crossings, and locomotive depots along the way. 🎈Finally, there are some precautions to remind everyone. First, it is recommended to find an indoor place to warm up every 1 hour to avoid getting cold. Secondly, because the snow is very thick, you must wear non-slip shoes, avoid going to places without footprints, and easily sink into the snow. 🎈Hengdaohezi, this small town in the Northeast winter, its beauty and charm far exceed my original imagination. If you want to experience the real Northeast winter, why not come here and feel the tranquility and loneliness in the ice and snow.

We stayed for one night and experienced the northeastern version of Hokkaido. The Russian Old Street is a must-visit. The old street is not long, but there are more than 200 well-preserved Russian buildings on both sides. Walking on the street, it's like being in Russia, especially when the smoke is curling up at night, it's even more beautiful. ✅The Church of the Mother of God-Hengdaohezi Railway Station-Middle East Railway Engine House Museum-Oil Painting Village 1️⃣The Church of the Mother of God: The only existing wooden Orthodox church in our country. The all-wood church is wrapped in a dark green coat, and the onion-shaped top points to the sky, as if conveying the dialogue between God and man. 2️⃣Hengdaohezi Railway Station: The railway station is in the center of the town, a yellow two-story building. The pointed roof and yellow building are particularly Russian in style and very photogenic. 3️⃣Middle East Railway Engine House Museum: The world's only relatively well-preserved fan-shaped steam engine house. The architectural style is unique. From the air, it looks like an open accordion, which is very beautiful. 4️⃣Oil Painting Village: A village specially built for painters from all over the world. It has settled in 100 well-known painters, with large exhibition halls and painters' studios. There are many works of painters on display inside, which is very worth seeing. 【How to get there】 You can fly to Harbin or Mudanjiang, and then take the high-speed rail or bullet train.

It takes about half an hour to get there by high-speed rail from Mudanjiang, and about one and a half hours by high-speed rail from Harbin, which is very convenient. 【Where to stay】 The town is not big, you can finish visiting in one day, or you can stay.

There are some characteristic homestays in the town. If you have plenty of time, you can stay for one night to experience the Russian style.

When the very quiet small town is silent, only the train whistle from a distance can break the silence. Depart at seven in the morning and return to Harbin at four in the afternoon. After exiting the station, you can start strolling according to the signs as soon as you get to the oil painting village. Half a day's time is not enough for a deep tour, but it's enough for check-in and taking photos. Many shops and houses are for rent, and there are few young locals. There aren't many tourists at this time, I hope this place can revive. It's really beautiful.

Built in 1903, this fan-shaped locomotive depot was constructed to store and maintain locomotives, with a capacity of up to 15 locomotives. There is also a turntable at the center in front of the depot, which allows the locomotive to be rotated and directed into the appropriate bay after entering the turntable. Inside the old depot, several steam locomotives are on display, including the No. 886 steam locomotive manufactured by Kawasaki Heavy Industries in Japan in 1936, which participated in the railway transportation during the Korean War and was retired in 2006. Films and TV dramas such as 'Above the Cliff' and 'Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy' were shot here. It is a national key cultural relics protection unit.

Beautiful like a painting village. Watching the sunset quietly falling on the hillside in the evening, it's super beautiful, this village and the sunset are too matching Some scenes really have a sense of déjà vu in Hokkaido, worthy of being the Northeast's own Hokkaido~ A simple and quiet small village, it is not particularly commercialized compared to Snow Village, it really has its own tone~ There is a kind of feeling of being independent of the world, very cool and love~ Hulin Garden has a close look at the Northeast Tiger and Lion. The lion's roar is really shocking, the real king's contempt And the little Northeast Tiger who is super cooperative for selfies~ (At the exit of the Tiger Viewing Gallery, there is a little tiger always staying on the side, not moving when taking pictures, and will cooperate with the camera) Transportation: Round trip: Take the high-speed train directly from Harbin, it's very convenient, I set off at 6:52 in the morning and return at 17:53 (Return trip has earlier ones, but still buy late ones, I heard someone changing the ticket when I was walking, I must not have enough fun) Local rental: 5s per person, but you need to gather 4 people to fill a car, otherwise it will cost 20, so if you see sisters on the road, boldly invite them to share a car, we just came out from Hulin Garden at noon, Shared a car to the place to eat Bus: There are also local buses from the train station, which can be sent to various points, 5s per person, no need to share a car Eating: It is said that there is a very popular one, but it is said that you have to queue for 2 hours, you don't need to be persistent at this time, just find one casually, the taste is also very good~ It's also very affordable, the saved time can be used to play more~
