Heihe City (Heilongjiang Province) and Blagoveshchensk City (Russia) are located on opposite sides of the Heilongjiang River and are in close proximity to each other. Due to their geographical proximity, active economic and cultural exchanges, and close human ties, they are called the “twin cities of China and Russia.”
In recent years, Heihe’s morning and night markets have become a popular destination for Russian tourists. The opportunity to try a hot Chinese breakfast in the morning and dishes from all over China in the evening has become a favorite holiday option for many Russians, which contributes to both the growth of the local economy and the strengthening of friendship between the peoples of the two countries.
In Heihe, in addition to gastronomy and shopping, Chinese massage has become a way for Russian guests to relax and recuperate.
During the May holidays in 2025, the passenger flow through Heihe is expected to reach 9,500 people/time, with a peak of 2,200 people per day.
