Heihe, China

A remote northern Chinese border city on the Amur River, facing Russia — best for river landscapes, frontier history at Aihui and unhurried, unpolished city life.

Evening light over the wide Amur River at Heihe, with a riverside promenade in the foreground and the distant skyline of Blagoveshchensk on the far bank.
