The wetland scenery along the way is breathtaking, 🕊️ the release show is very short, so be sure to arrive early!

🔹Bukui Mosque ⭐⭐ Built during the Kangxi period, it has certain historical value. Opening hours are irregular; if you catch an open day, you can enter to experience the atmosphere.
🔹Daodeyuan ⭐⭐ Free ｜ Recommended Stay: 10-20 minutes A unique complex where five religions coexist—Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Islam, and Christianity—representing cultural integration. Worth a visit if passing by.
🔹Heilongjiang Military Governor’s Office ⭐ Currently merged with the museum site, under renovation, temporarily closed, only simple photo stops📸 allowed at the entrance.
🔹Russia Street ⭐⭐ Located in Angangxi, if not driving or arriving by train, consider carefully whether to visit. Most old Russian-style buildings are in poor condition.
