Xingkai Lake consists of large and small lakes. Although Daxing Lake and Xiaoxing Lake are very close, the landscape is different. Xingkai Lake is also the largest lake in Heilongjiang Basin. So, where is Xingkai Lake? What's so funny about it? Let's take a look at it with Xiaobian.

About Xingkai Lake

Xingkai Lake is located on the Sino-Russian border 40 kilometers southeast of Mishan City. It was originally an inner lake in China. After the signing of the Beijing Treaty between China and Russia in 1860, it became a boundary lake between China and Russia. At present, China accounts for one-third of the waters, and the rest are in Russia. Xingkai Lake is a large freshwater lake in the northeast of China, which was formed by the subsidence of water after the eruption of ancient volcanoes. "Xingkai" is Manchu, which means that water flows from high places to low places.

The whole lake is slightly oval, with nine rivers flowing in, and the lake overflows from the northeast and flows into the Wusuli River. There is Xiaoxingkai Lake in the north of the lake, all in China. There is a sand bar about 1 km wide between the two lakes, which is connected into one when the water rises. Xingkai Lake Scenic Area includes Dangbi Town, Lotus, Xinkailiu, spillway gate, Longwang Temple, Honey Mountain and Golden Beach.

Dangbi Town Scenic Area: Located on the west bank of Xingkai Lake, it is a national first-class land port. There are the world's smallest boundary bridge, the Great Northern Wilderness Development Memorial Hall and the General Wang Zhen Monument recorded in the Guinness Book of Records.

Dense natural forest ecological landscape is formed by coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forests such as Tilia amurensis.

Xinkailiu Scenic Area: Located on the lake hill between the large and small Xingkai Lakes, it is the material and cultural remains of the ancestors of Manchu-the ancient Sushen ancestors more than 6,100 years ago, and a large number of pottery, bone utensils and stone tools have been unearthed, reflecting the fishing and hunting civilization in the northern part of the Neolithic Age.

Flood sluice scenic spot: located in the core area of nature reserve, the ecology is intact and the flood sluice building is magnificent, which is a great place for eco-tourism.
