## About Hengdaohezi Town

The town takes its name from an early north-south road that crossed the river here (“Hengdao” meaning “crossing road”; “Hezi” meaning “river”). Founded in 1897, this ancient town has kept its strong Russian character after more than a century. The China Eastern Railway locomotive depot, the old Russian street, Oil Painting Street, the Church of Saint Mary and Weihu Mountain make it feel as though you have stepped back into the early twentieth century.

## Tips from the guidebook

- Nearby are the Northeast Tiger Park and Weihu Mountain Film and TV Town, which can be visited together with Hengdaohezi.
