Strolling in Fuyuan, Experiencing the Charm of the Easternmost Point

☞Dongji Square
This is the easternmost point of mainland China, excluding Heixiazi Island. Backed by the motherland, it extends into the Ussuri River like the bow of a ship.
Here, you'll find the magnificence of two rivers converging, the tranquility of a neighboring town across the bank, the towering Easternmost Point landmark, the imposing outpost on the island, the solemn boundary marker, and the China red of Wusu Bridge.
This is a gathering place for tourists. In the early morning, people wait for the first ray of sunlight in China; at noon, the square welcomes those seeking the charm of the "East"; in the evening, a dazzling sunset awaits those who are destined to see it.
Even outside of peak season, Dongji Square is bustling with tourists, making it quite difficult to take a satisfactory photo.
Unfortunately, the Dongji Town adjacent to the square is largely unfinished, and accommodation and dining options nearby are not very convenient. It seems more logical to visit Heixiazi Island first in the morning and then come to Dongji Square, as the sunrise and sunset at Dongji Pavilion are no less spectacular than here.

☞Wusu Town and Hezhe Village
County Roads 109 and 101 connect Dongji Square and Zhaji Town, passing through Wusu Oriental First Outpost, Nangang First Village, and Zhaji Hezhe Village. The riverside wetlands along the way are also beautiful.

☞Cranberry Plantation
What an eye-opener! It was my first time seeing cranberries being cultivated, harvested, and also my first time seeing fresh cranberries. They were quite tart and indeed not very tasty, but I still bought two bags of dried cranberries.

☞Binjiang Park
"Rooster Crowing at Dawn" is a giant sculpture that integrates geography, culture, and sentiment, fully showcasing Fuyuan's special status as the Easternmost Point.
Due to time constraints, I didn't get to fully appreciate the charm of the riverside.

☞Dongji Fish Market
"Three Flowers, Five Rosy, Eighteen Sons" (referring to various fish species). During my two-day trip to Fuyuan, I ate mandarin fish, bream, crucian carp, daozhi (whitefish), salmon, and pike. They were truly fresh, fragrant, and delicate – a real feast.
Want to see what river fish look like before cooking? Alright, let's head to Dongji Fish Market. Fresh, frozen, dried; roasted, fried, stir-fried; all kinds of fish, familiar and unfamiliar, it's a real eye-opener.
