With an average summer temperature of around 20 degrees Celsius, Heilongjiang, the northernmost province in China, has become a must-see destination, offering tourists a cool respite from the sweltering summer temperatures.

Heilongjiang, known for its vast forests, expansive wetlands, and majestic rivers, enchants countless backpackers with its natural splendor. Local authorities have been actively promoting specific tourist routes and enhancing service standards to fuel the summer "cool tour" industry.

Mohe, China’s northernmost city and a distinctive summer resort, captivates visitors with its unique northern appeal. Notable landmarks such as the "Northernmost Point of China" and the "Northernmost Post Office," offer a glimpse into the region's unique location and tourist attractions.

The time-honored Chinese brand "Modern Ice Lolly," renowned for its rich and milky flavor, has become an online sensation. Tourists flock to Central Avenue in Harbin, eagerly lining up for a taste.

In addition to the popsicle, the century-old street offers a diverse array of gourmet delights including creative ice creams, silky chocolate mousse, and aromatic coffee, among others.

Outdoor camping, a fantastic way to unwind, has increasingly become the leisure choice for travelers seeking relaxation and adventure. 

Yichun City in Heilongjiang, home to the world’s largest red pine forest, is a popular camping destination. Just over an hour’s drive from the city leads to Jinshan Deer Park, where visitors can camp and enjoy close encounters with deer in a picturesque natural setting.

Heilongjiang is developing year-round tourism by blending its stunning natural landscapes with unique cultural landmarks while rolling out a range of innovative activities.
