朴鲁大哥Daheihe Island, located on the Chinese side of the main channel of the Heilongjiang River, between the cities of Heihe and Blagoveshchensk, is a charming border island. Its unique location, just 750 meters north of the Russian city of Bu, and connected to Heihe city by a bridge, offers convenient transportation. The island boasts a rich historical and cultural heritage, with human inhabitants dating back to the late Neolithic period. After the reform and opening up, it has become a vital window for Sino-Russian border trade and cultural exchange. On Daheihe Island, you can visit the Sino-Russian Oil Painting City to admire Russian oil paintings and China's largest outdoor Russian-style sculptures. You can also shop for chocolate, vodka, furs, and other specialty goods at the Russian Goods Market. Nature lovers can visit the Daheihe Island Botanical Garden, home to dozens of cold-weather tree species and a rich birdlife. The island's National Flag Square is also worth a visit. Its 56.74-meter-tall flagpole, hoisting China's largest flag, is a truly impressive sight. In short, Daheihe Island combines natural scenery, cultural landscape, commerce and entertainment, and is a must-visit place for Heihe tourism.
