    The Liao & Jin History Museum of Heilongjiang

    Walk into The Liao & Jin History Museum of Heilongjiang as it opens. The halls are quietest in the morning, giving you space to look at the 10,000 artefacts without the midday rush. Check the ticket price and hours before you go.

    Stalin Park

    Walk five minutes east to 省委广场. It is a short, flat stroll from the museum. Use this time to stretch your legs and let the history settle in before heading out.

    奋斗路副食品市场

    Stop at 奋斗路副食品市场 for a snack. This local market is open from 08:30 to 18:30, so you will find it lively and fully stocked at this hour. Grab something fresh to eat while you explore.

    新华书店(南岗分公司店)
