2026 Luobei Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in January)

Luobei Mingshan Town, not a must-visit on the G331 checklist, was the itinerary I confirmed early on—here lies the youth my father once ignited. In my father's memories, Mingshan is beautiful yet lonely. When he talks about the years of the military corps going up to the mountains and down to the countryside, he always carries countless emotions. A group of young people from Shanghai were swept up by the tide of the times and plunged headfirst into this unfamiliar black soil. The imagined "poetry and distant places" was soon worn down by the harsh reality. The vast reclaimed land stretched endlessly, border patrol steps marked dawn and dusk, and day after day of hardship and monotony was filled with longing to return home. But he also said that looking back years later, that time in Northeast China held so many precious memories. Especially the lifelong comradeship, which made this black soil unintentionally become his second hometown. Returning to Mingshan Town with my father, everything before my eyes was both familiar and strange. Just across the river, the Russian village on the opposite bank is clearly visible, truly just a step away. On clear days, the scenery along the Heilongjiang River is as beautiful as a prose poem. Who would have thought that this tranquil riverbank once left bold and vivid marks in the long scroll of history? In 1900, during the Boxer Rebellion, Tsarist Russia came fiercely, causing the horrifying Hailanpao Massacre and the Jiangdong Sixty-Four Villages Massacre. Countless Chinese refugees crossed the river to escape, and the riverbank of Mingshan Town became a lifesaving landing point and refuge at that time. In the 1930s, this place became the "Far East Noah's Ark" for Jewish refugees. To escape Nazi persecution, thousands of European Jewish refugees traveled to Shanghai and were then relocated to the border of the puppet Manchukuo under the "Fugu Plan." Then called "Zhaoxing," Mingshan Town, along with the Russian Amur Dzhet town across the river, became their new home. Today, the Jewish Cultural Park on Mingshan Island commemorates this special history. Layer upon layer of history has paved the way for today's Mingshan Town. With the thawing of China-Soviet relations and the opening of the Mingshan Port, the once closed border defense line transformed into a window for commerce and cultural exchange. Exotic customs and Northeast China’s local life blend perfectly here, making it a treasure town on the border. 📷 Recommended route to check in Mingshan Island Scenic Area → Riverside Viewing Walkway (Boundary Marker No. 235) → Russian Style Street 🌸 Tips The port supermarket offers great value; stock up on Russian chocolates without hesitation. As dusk falls, the setting sun melts gold, dyeing the waters of the two countries red. Suddenly, I understand that the border scenery along National Highway G331 is a distant place some people rush to, but for others, it is a youth they commemorate. Looking back at history, there are always regrets, but every step counts ❤️  

On December 24, the 2025–2026 China Luobei to Russia Amur Zhet floating ice bridge channel officially opened, and the first passenger bus has smoothly crossed the pontoon bridge. The channel has passed the joint inspection and acceptance by the China-Russia working group. This opening is the earliest in nearly five years, marking the full commencement of passenger and cargo transportation at the Luobei port this winter. This channel is an important bridge for China-Russia trade and exchanges, providing great convenience for cargo transportation and personnel movement between the two countries. In winter, when the Heilongjiang River surface is frozen, the floating ice bridge channel remains stable and safe, making cross-border travel smoother. Tourists and business travelers can quickly travel between China and Russia through this channel, experience foreign customs, and conduct business activities. Whether it is to experience Russia's unique culture or engage in trade, they can enjoy an efficient and convenient experience. Seize this opportunity and start your China-Russia cross-border journey through the China Luobei to Russia Amur Zhet floating ice bridge channel to explore the endless charm of both countries!
