Qiqihar Zhalong Wetland Travel Guide

Beautiful Qiqihar, the true representative of Heilongjiang If there is a city that best represents Heilongjiang, I think it is Qiqihar, not Harbin, because Qiqihar is more like the birch forest in "The Long Season," with more traces of industrial decay. However, the most representative attraction in Qiqihar is Zhalong Wetland, the paradise of red-crowned cranes. When you come here, you will see endless reeds and red-crowned cranes freely shuttling among them. To protect this place, the locals have made great efforts. In 1987, a daughter drowned while searching for a lost red-crowned crane. Her story was written into a widely circulated song: "A True Story." Looking at the red-crowned cranes soaring in the sky, the melody of this song comes to mind. It is not only pure white but also the depth of reinforced concrete. Snap your fingers to record the lost, pure years. Tips: Half a day is enough to visit. There are two red-crowned crane releases during the day, and we went at 10:00. The free fish soup in the leisure house next to the release site is delicious.
