The Tumen River Bridge is an international border bridge, and photographing the boundary marker is the most direct way to take a picture with the "border line". Tumen River Sculpture Park and Riguang Mountain (Huayan Temple ruins) offer overlooks of the river's winding bends; it is just 20 min away by high-speed rail.
Getting there: Self-drive from Yanji / high-speed rail, Tumen Station (20 min)
