Dongji Pagoda - the easternmost landmark of China's territory
In Wusu Town, Fuyuan County, Jiamusi City, Heilongjiang Province, there is a very special island located at the easternmost point of China. It is the place where the first ray of sunshine rises in China. It has witnessed the humiliation of old China being divided by the powers, and it has also witnessed the great rise of new China. This island is Heixiazi Island. It was occupied by Russia for a full 79 years. It was not until 2008 that Russia agreed to return half of it, forming a magical situation of one island and two countries.
Dongji Pagoda is located at the easternmost corner of Heixiazi Island. It adopts an octagonal tower-style tower body with Han and Tang styles. The tower is 81 meters high. Eighty-one is the most auspicious number for prosperity and success, and it also means nine-nine-nine return to one.

The 259th boundary marker on the north side of Heixiazi Island is one of the last boundary markers set up on the island and is also the memorial site for the territorial handover between the two countries in 2008. There are a total of 11 boundary markers between China and Russia on Heixiazi Island. It is these 11 boundary markers that divide Heixiazi Island into two. Towards Khabarovsk, including the church, it is Russian territory, and towards Fuyuan, it is Chinese territory.
Climbing the Dongji Pagoda, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Heixiazi Island Wetland, the panoramic view of Khabarovsk, Russia, Heilongjiang River, Ussuri River, and Wusu Bridge.
