Seventh day today's first stop was a large Sino-Russian border trading points in one - Hunchun Port. Like other border crossings, where sub-exit quarantine and immigration and quarantine of two large halls. Peak and visitors crowd the hall, bustling, full of business Chinese and Russians. Here I bought some souvenirs back to give as gifts made in Russia.
The second stop was the mouth of the Tumen River, which is the so-called Golden Triangle, namely China, Russia and North Korea border areas. Car along the riverside keep on going, the Tumen River is the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture, the first river is the border river between China and North Korea. Manchu originally known as "the Tumen color birds." "Tumen" means "million", "color bird" means "Heyuan", that is: 10000 the water source. In order to develop the economy, the Chinese side to build a highway along the river, traffic is very convenient, the peasants were already living in a brick house or even buildings, and North Korea there is only one block of the barren hills covered with weeds, and occasionally be able to see a few low - low-thatched cottages. North Korea's economic backwardness, the living standard of Chinese in the early sixties is almost the same. A lot of people too poor and could not continue, on the Tumen River in the dry season sneaked across the river, to the Chinese side, and some even ran a number of young woman with a random old man in rural China over the years, reportedly was arrested back may disaster. Kim Jong-Il will be a total invasion of their fear of China, in a number of bunkers built along the Yangtze River, the military used binoculars to observe a day, the situation here in China. In fact, the experience of China's reform and opening up enough to prove that a country closed-door policy and do not develop the economy, not to change people's lives, there was no future, authoritarian, high-pressure regime is also not a long time.
Zhang Drum peak standing under the Anti-King Nobusato Kawamura's observation platform overlooking the 15 km outside the mouth of the Tumen River - Sea of Japan, gray fog, endless; close look at the scenery panoramic view of North Korea and Russia. On the left is Russia's border town of Hassan town, on the right is the North Korean city of Duman River, which is: "I've watched three mountains Xinjiang style, ears three chicken Ming barking."
"Soil" plate is a must-see here for a monument, it is the first Sino-Russian border card, in 1886, the Russian exploration and the eastern boundary Hunchun to reestablish the. "Soil" plate high 1.44 meters wide and 0.5 meter, 0.22 meters thick, in order to granitic. At present, the licensing body to save a very complete and legible handwriting. This is exactly what our side of the vertical inscribed with "earth plate," three characters, the left vertical engraved "Guang Xu Li twelve years in April," eight small print; Russian Russian side engraved with "T" word.
The third stop was North Korea today, Tumen ports. China and North Korea shared a bridge - the Tumen River Bridge will connect the two countries. Standing on the bridge of the Central division of the "borders", we are still feeling, Chinese tourists are everywhere here in the "borders" on the photo taking; the Korean side is empty. Local people want us to carefully observe North Korea's distance of only several white color of the buildings, we found that all of those buildings with no windows. Why? In fact these buildings not normally live, but North Korea to show that they are very rich, enough with China, which lid Bimei "false floor" is a "model project" only. This practice of self-deception with the Chinese "Great Leap Forward" and the "Cultural Revolution", when some of the practices of exactly the same.
The schedule will leave tomorrow afternoon, Yanji City, which means tonight is the return to Beijing before the last one night, we decided to play the enjoyment, so a taxi after dinner went to a bar for drinks. Yanbian taxi almost all "small ALTO", perhaps because people here are relatively thin and small bar. The first night out, only to find the nightlife here is very colorful. Some people say that the poor or the rich look of a region can not see during the day, depending on the night, this statement really makes sense. Yanji City, the night feasting with one of prosperity. South Korea stood deafening bar dance-pop, dance or pairs of couples, or hugged whispers. We shouted asked for a beer and snacks, drinking with a smile, as if all the energy necessary to distribute the remaining point out, stay here.
The Eighth Day breakfast is the staple food of Koreans feature - Dolsot Bibimbap and miso soup. Dolsot Bibimbap is a bustling on a stone pot rice Sheng, with Pollack fishing line, bean sprouts, Campanulaceae something, playing the last one raw egg to eat, when mixed with chili sauce 1 on it. This language school in North meal I eat, when, because of the rice vegetable egg, convenient and nutritious, the students liked. Miso soup would not flattered, and I do not like to do a kind of Peking Man called "shabu water" soup tastes better.
After dinner we went to the outskirts of a bear park in Yanji visit. Black bears are rare animals unique to the Northeast region. The bear park in northeast a large black bear breeding base, from the baby bear a few months to a total of 600 adult black bear long. We are holding a biscuit amuse them, they either will be transferred circle, and some will salute, and some will be given up, but still there is a bear eating his own fingers, is simply extremely cute. Breeders pulled out a huge black bear to let it swim with the people group photo. It can be Zhenguai, as long as you give it to eat cookies, it is not known does not move, and honestly with the people's camera. We have photographed one by one, the next one it is my turn, and did not think just approached it, it should carry a big sneeze, indeed, to scare me Yida Tiao, co-workers take the opportunity to look to my horror, according to the down.
Bear left the park, came to the so-called South Korean city of shopping. God knows there is not really selling Korean goods, anyway, the price is actually very some South Korean people's living standards, a single word - expensive.
At noon, people in the local famous azaleas hotel guests, ate another North Korean ethnic flavor - noodles, which face special tendons Road, accompanied by beef and apple slices, plus another cool spicy sweet and sour salty soup, DC Xiangqilaijiu acidic saliva. My stomach has always been like the soft, rotten noodles, this stiff dough is no blessing I enjoy, eat a few mouthfuls of dishes Shi Er.
Three in the afternoon, we boarded the plane to Beijing from Yanji, will live for eight days to leave the vast land. Want to go home, and heart reluctant to part with. In fact, consider this carefully, the life, not that numerous to go home and start from the composition of do? Not true this time to go home the next departure date? Only hope that the Northeast mountains and rivers and the plain-meaning people can hold me, accept me. And I, put the right here, deep feelings hidden in the bottom of my heart, will never forget.
