China's Top Tier in Heilongjiang

HARBIN, China, April 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Heilongjiang Province is named after the Heilong River that flows through it, where the first rays of sunrise in the country are seen. The province serves as China's ecological barrier, boasting forests that cover over 20 million hectares, nearly half of the land of Heilongjiang.

Within its borders lies the Five Connected Lakes, formed by volcanic eruptions that blocked the Bai River, creating five interconnected lakes. Jingpo Lake, the largest barrier lake in China and the second largest in the world, alongside vast forests and water bodies, provides a paradise for wildlife animals. Seberian tigers and sika deer are among its most notable inhabitants.

Heilongjiang's cuisine is diversified, including dishes such as mushroom chicken stew, iron pot goose stew, delicious barbecue, fragrant rice, and chewy sticky rice dumplings.
