On the border of northeast China, Heihe City in Heilongjiang Province is across the river from Russia. It is only about 700 meters away from Blagoveshensk, the capital of Amur Prefecture, on the other side. The unique location advantage allows Heihe not only carries the historical genes of a century-old commercial port, but also uses "cross-border" as a link to weave China-Russia culture, trade and life into a unique picture.
