A trip to Hecheng | Two days and one night in Qiqihar

Watch the "Dancing Cranes" in Asia's largest wetland and enjoy the delicious food of the "International BBQ Capital" ~ [Love] 🗓Itinerary: Day 1: Heilongjiang Military Governor's Office - Bukui Mosque - Longsha Park - Longsha Night Market Day 2: Zhalong Nature Reserve - Mingyue Island ✅Must experience: 📍 Heilongjiang Military Governor's Office ▪️ The Governor's Office is a witness to modern history. The European-style building is majestic and grand, and the interior has restored the furnishings of the Republic of China period. The photos come with a retro filter. 📸 📍Bukhai Mosque ▪️The Bukui Mosque has a 300-year history. The architectural complex combines Chinese and Islamic styles, allowing you to experience the legend of "the temple came first and then the city". [TempleOfHeaven] 🌳 Longsha Park ▪️ The largest urban park in Northeast China, where you can enjoy [Canoe] boating on the lake, climb the Wangjiang Tower to overlook the Nenjiang River, and there is also an ice lantern show in winter! The park is free, but rides require additional fees. 🌙 Longsha Night Market ▪️ The snack street is full of fireworks! Grilled skewers, grilled cold noodles, sweet and sour pork... and a bowl of hot pig-killing dish, sauerkraut and blood sausage warm the stomach and heart. [Awesome] 🦢 Zhalong Nature Reserve ▪️ The world's largest red-crowned crane habitat! Cranes are released at designated locations every day (9:30/11:00/14:00/15:30). Watching the cranes soaring over the reed marshes is as beautiful as a painting! The ticket price is 65 yuan, and it is recommended to take an electric car directly to the Guanhe area. [Askance] ▪️ Must-visit cultural and creative stores: red-crowned crane paper-carved lamps, quicksand refrigerator magnets, take a piece of "crane culture" home. [StarEyes] 🏝️ Mingyue Island ▪️ A paradise on earth on the Nenjiang River! [Beach] Take a ferry to the island, rent a bicycle to travel around, and check in at the Heilongjiang General's Mansion. The ancient buildings and natural scenery blend together, as if you have traveled back to the Qing Dynasty. 🍲Recommended dishes: 🍢 BBQ time! ▪️ You must eat barbecue when you come to Qiqihar! We recommend homemade mixed meat, thick slices of meat, dipped in secret sauce, tender and juicy! Locals recommend "Ma Xiao Ma Jia" or old street shops, where you can eat as much as you want for only NT$50 per person. [Kiss] 🍲 Manchu hot pot ▪️ The soup base is made with beef bones and seafood, and the sauerkraut and sesame paste are rich in layers! We recommend "Jin Sanshun" or other local time-honored restaurants to experience the bold Northeastern way of eating. [Congratulate] 📝Note tips: ✔️ Best season: Crane viewing from April to September, ice sculptures in winter (December to February) ✔️ Transportation: The city attractions can be reached by bus. It is recommended to take a taxi or charter a car to Zhalong (about 30 minutes by car) ✔️ Outfit: Sun protection [SunGlasses] in summer, down jacket + snow boots in winter! 🛍️ Recommended souvenirs ▪️ Zhalong Creative: Crane ornaments, AR refrigerator magnets ▪️ Northeastern specialties: Qiulin red sausage, wild dried blueberries [Bowknot] If you have enough time to travel to Harbin, I recommend you to visit Qiqihar to see the red-crowned cranes and eat some barbecue.
