First Bend of the Heilong River, Mohe, Heilongjiang 黑龙江漠河龙江第一湾
The First Bend of the Heilong River lies in eastern Mohe, Heilongjiang, on the south bank of the Heilong (Amur) at the northern foot of the Greater Khingan, within the Tuqiang forestry bureau. Here the river swings round the foot of a hill in a loop that almost closes on itself, best seen from the viewing platform on the hill, one of the best-known meanders on the upper Heilong; the far bank is Russia. At about 53.5° north, level with Beiji Village, it is one of the northernmost scenic sites in China, with long, bitter winters.
