Where China, North Korea and Russia meet; from the Longhu Pavilion observation tower, look toward the mouth of the Tumen River and the Sea of Japan — "three countries at a glance" is a rare viewing experience in China. The Zhanggufeng Incident Memorial Hall (Battle of Lake Khasan) records the history of the 1938 clash among China, Japan and the Soviet Union, while the "narrowest strip of national territory" at Yangguanping Causeway and Fangchuan Dune Park (sand dunes and wetlands) together form a unique border landscape.
Getting there: Self-drive from Yanji (approx. 2 h) / transfer via Hunchun
