2025 Mishan Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in January)

Our first visit to city Mishan near border with Russia. Ideal option for small journey (3-4 days). We were here for 3.5 days. Piece of traditional culture. We were exited when found very big and beautiful temple near the city. This place is really good to take a look on traditional architecture, and to spend time in silence with your thoughts. Maybe we are lucky, but we were almost the only visitors. It's time to eat! Our main goal for journey was to eat tasty and interesting food. And we've achieved our goal:) The best places for us: - Versailles buffet - Dancing dumpling (near Khanka hotel) - Korean self-roasting (any in the city) - Hot-pot (any) - and small shop with cakes, I forgot the name. Baroque style. We lived in Khanka hotel and we felt ourselves as a VIP persons. Gold, mirrors and shining was everywhere - it is not a minus. Room for 3 was really big, but there was too hot in the room - we splved this problem by opening the window. One day we paid 25 yuan for breakfast and it was a mistake: meals are not interesting for us, not very tasty. Relaxing vibes. There was water complex in our hotel and we visited it every evening. Price is 25 for visit and additional 20 for swimming pool. We didn't visit swimming pool, because in this trip we decided to relax, not to train. There are several zones in complex: sauna with showers and massage zone (man/women separate zones, you should be naked), hot pool with milk, vine and other things (zone for both genders, you need swimsuits to visit it), kid's pool with gaming zone, and relaxing and sleeping zone.#khanka #mishan #eat #sauna #vacation #border

Xingkai Lake is located in Mishan, Jixi City, Heilongjiang Province. It was once the largest freshwater inland lake in China, even larger than Qinghai Lake. After the signing of the Sino-Russian Treaty of Beijing in 1860, it became a border lake between the two countries, with two-thirds of it allocated to Tsarist Russia. Xingkai Lake consists of two lakes, separated by a natural lake ridge about 1 kilometer wide, which is also known as S201. The road conditions on this route are generally average, with frequent water-damaged sections. However, the dense forests on both sides form a natural green tunnel, which is very beautiful in summer. Xingkai Lake has many marshes, so the lake water is very turbid. Especially in the larger Xingkai Lake, the shore has fine sand and beach bathing areas, and the waves rolling up on the shore are just like those at the seaside. The smaller Xingkai Lake is relatively calm, with large wetlands and many birds. Xinkailiu Scenic Area is the central scenic area of Xingkai Lake, with a viewing platform that resembles a sailboat. From there, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of both the large and small Xingkai Lakes. The best lighting is after 4 PM. There is a pier by the lake where you can take a boat ride; the beach bathing area on the opposite side allows you to enjoy the sun, sand, and 'waves.' Viewing platform ticket: 10 yuan/adult Opening hours: 8:30-17:00 In fact, the scenery on both sides of the highway near Xingkai Lake is extremely beautiful, with various shades of green fields. The local specialty food is Xingkai Lake whitefish.

📍Attraction address: Xingkai Lake is located in Dangbi Town, Mishan City, Jixi City, Heilongjiang Province, and is also on the edge of the Xingkai Lake Farm. 🚗Transportation to the attraction: Xingkai Lake is quite large, with many bus routes reaching various scenic spots. Just pay attention to the scenic spot you want to visit beforehand, and choose different bus routes and stations. I drove to the west gate of the small Xingkai Lake, and self-driving travel is also very convenient. 👍️Must-visit attractions: Xingkai Lake is vast, a border lake with Russia, and also has many scenic spots. The ones I passed include the large and small Xingkai Lakes, Xinkailiu, Dangbi scenic area, Xingkai Lake Museum, Wang Zhen Memorial Hall, etc. The must-visit attractions, I think: 1. Small Xingkai Lake, an inland lake in China. Located at the west gate of Xingkai Lake, with blue sky and clear water, flocks of birds, green aquatic plants, and shimmering water, it presents a serene and beautiful scenery; 2. Large Xingkai Lake. Separated from the small Xingkai Lake by a simple road, it is a border lake with Russia, marked by a boundary monument. The scenery is quite different, resembling the sea with strong winds and waves, clear skies, and a boundless view. At the junction of the large and small Xingkai Lakes, where the terrain is relatively flat and open, there is a viewing platform built to overlook both lakes, offering distinct views... 3. Xingkai Lake Museum. Located at the west gate of the small Xingkai Lake. 4. Wang Zhen Museum. In the 1950s and 1960s, General Wang Zhen led hundreds of thousands of demobilized officers and soldiers and millions of educated youths to open up farms in the Great Northern Wilderness, creating the fish and rice homeland of the Songnen Plain! 5. Dangbi Town scenic area. 🎟️Ticket information: Small Xingkai Lake ticket is 30 yuan; viewing platform is 10 yuan; Large Xingkai Lake is free; Xingkai Lake Museum is free. 💗Other tips: On the road from Mishan to Xingkai Lake, there is Dongfanghong Village, and the farm scenery is also quite good.
