Day 2

East to Suifenhe — the border rail town

A rail ride of about 2.5 hours east to a land port on tracks laid from 1897 to 1903; the gate park faces the frontier, the railway quarter keeps its era buildings, and the market shops stack Russian goods by the crate.

Day 3

The snow valley — Xuexiang

About 180 kilometres and 3 hours into the Dahailin woods, the snow village sits under drifts that pass 2 metres from November to March; in green months the same valley walks run cool and damp.
