Last time I mentioned: Parking at Xingkai Lake Farm at night...

Recalling the oil painting "The Gleaners" from the primary school art textbook

Facing the green rice fields, my mood suddenly brightened

Driving on the rice field road

The rice fields outside the car window stretch as far as the eye can see

The pond reflects the sky like a mirror

Entering Hulin, there is a row of surveillance cameras in front of you, which is a bit scary.

Eat some Northeastern food for lunch

Northeastern soybean sauce bones, so spicy. A large plate costs 40 yuan, enough for three or four people.

Stir-fried bacon with snow peas

Wusuli River yellow-bone fish, delicious, no bones at all

The starting point of the Ussuri River

Heehee, peeing at the starting point of the Wusuli River proves that this life has already happened...

Next to it is Hutou Mountain

Parking at the Ussuri River tonight.

The next day, we officially visited the Tiger Head Fortress.

Tiger Head Fortress ——It was an important military base of the Japanese Kwantung Army on the former Sino-Soviet border in the eastern part of Northeast China. Base. The Japanese Kwantung Army built the Hutou Fortress with the aim of using it as a strategic base for attacking the Soviet Union, because Hutou’s military strategic position was extremely important and it was also the last battlefield of World War II.

Say goodbye to Hutou Fortress and temporarily park in Zhenbaodao Township at noon

At noon, we made scrambled eggs with green peppers, Northeastern big bones, Russian red sausage and boiled noodles in the RV.

After a short break, we continued on the road. The sky was blue on the way to Zhenbao Island.

The road is straight

Both sides of the road are full of green and full of oxygen, as if you are walking through a primeval forest.

Beautiful mountains in the distance

The square dancing ladies and gentlemen are brightly dressed and in neat formation.

Thinking about it, there are only the elderly and children left in small counties in the Northeast, and young people are running to big cities. If this continues, will the carrying capacity of big cities become larger and larger in the future, while small towns gradually decline and even disappear? ? This is worth pondering.

It’s cold in the Northeast at night. Drink a bowl of haggis soup to warm yourself up. Sprinkle half a can of pepper on it first.
