BEIJING, July 3 (Xinhua) — The 7th Heilongjiang Provincial Tourism Development Conference was held from July 2 to 3 in Fuyuan, known as the “East Pole of China.” Under the theme of “Sunrise in the East, Grace in Heilongjiang,” the event introduced six distinctive features of the province, offering a multifaceted cultural feast to tourists at home and abroad.
According to the website of the Heilongjiang Provincial People’s Government, the conference is deeply integrated into the Belt and Road Initiative. It invited government and business representatives from nearly 20 countries and regions, including Russia and the Republic of Korea, to deepen international cooperation in culture and tourism. Relying on the trans-border river and lake resources of Heilongjiang Province, the event brought together 18 border counties and cities such as Suifenhe, Hulin and Raohe, introducing premium tourism routes including sunrise at the “East Pole”, ethnic traditions and ecological exploration.
Fuyuan, as China’s leading window for cooperation with Northeast Asia, is the golden spot of ecotourism on Heixiazi Island and a vibrant platform for the interpenetration of Chinese and Russian cultures. Holding such a conference at the county level for the first time, Fuyuan has implemented 17 specialized cultural tourism projects, creating a new model for integrating county economy with cultural tourism to strengthen the brand of “China’s East Pole”.
The city of Fuyuan is separated from Russia by the rivers Usulijiang /Ussuri/ and Heilongjiang /Amur/ on the eastern and northern sides, respectively. -0-
