Heilongjiang
The Heilongjiang Province is the furthest northeast province in China, bordering Russia. The Province is best known for their long, cold, snowy winters, making them a popular destination for winter sports and ice festivals. Due to the proximity to Russia, Heilongjiang has a lot of Russian influenced buildings and practices; don't be surprised to see some signs written in both Mandarin and Russian in the border towns!
