RV China Border Tour Day44: Stepping into the Great Northern Wilderness and looking at Xingkai Lake in the strong wind

Last time I mentioned: Parking at Jixi Sports Center at night...

Today we set off to visit Xingkai Lake in Mishan, Jixi City. Jixi City is named after it is located to the west of Jiguan Mountain, and Mishan is named after Honey Mountain in the southeast of the city.

Officially entered Beidahuang——Beidahuang is located in the frontier. It faces Russia across the river from the Ussuri River and the Heilongjiang River to the east and north. The Great Northern Wilderness has been a wild land since ancient times. It is overgrown with thorns, swamps, raging winds and snow, and swarms of wild beasts. Later, General Wang Zhen led his troops to develop the Great Northern Wilderness, and it became today's "Beidacang", which consolidated the country. of food reserves.

The rice fields of Beidahuang stretch as far as the eye can see, and the harvest is full of green.

The land is sparsely populated and the roads are wide

 

Hehehe, the scenery remains the same

I get tired of watching and fall asleep standing up every time

Arrive at Xingkai Lake - formed by the collapse of the earth's crust during a volcanic eruption 65 million years ago. It was originally an inland lake in China. After the signing of the "Beijing Treaty" between China and Russia in 1860, it became the border between China and Russia. lake. Therefore, Xingkai Lake is divided into large and small Xingkai Lakes, among which the large Xingkai Lake is the boundary lake between China and Russia, and the small Xingkai Lake is the inner lake of the motherland.

One-third of the area of ​​Xingkai Hubei is China, and the south is Russia, with an area of ​​4380 kilometers and a coastline length of 90 kilometers.

It’s a pity that God was not kind and it happened to be a stormy time.

Stormy waves are like the sea

There is a sightseeing platform between the big and small lakes. Due to weather conditions, we were not able to go up to see the whole lake

Here are two pictures of the scenery when the weather is calm (pictures are from the Internet)

There are three types of stone tools: hammered, ground and fine stone tools, with fine stone tools being the most common.

It is raining lightly, and along the road you can see the rare original wetland environment of Xingkai Lake. It is rich in fish and is a health resort. It is known as "Oriental Hawaii"

 

It’s a pity to say goodbye to Xingkai Lake. We parked at the Xingkai Lake Farm Cultural and Sports Center tonight. There are large and small lotus ponds built to imitate the big and small Xingkai Lakes. I couldn’t take pictures because of the rain.

 

Visit Xingkai Lake, the boundary lake between China and Russia, and tomorrow we will continue to the Ussuri River, the boundary river between China and Russia. Good night everyone!
