Heilongjiang is located in the northernmost part of China's territory, and is the province with the highest latitude in China. It was formerly known as the Northern Wilderness, but now, it has undergone tremendous changes. In this magical land, there are rolling big Xing'an Mountains; Songnen Plain with fertile fields and thousands of miles; There are magnificent waters of Heilongjiang, Wusuli River, Songhua River and Nenjiang River; There are beautiful Jingpo Lake and Wudalianchi Lake; There are also natural pastures with green grass, which all outline a colorful picture. On this land of more than 450000 square kilometers, there are more than 2800 kilometers of water boundary and more than 200 kilometers of land boundary between China and Russia. The Great Khingan Mountains, which runs through the west, is adjacent to Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, and the southwest is adjacent to Jilin Province.
Heilongjiang Province is the birthplace of the Northern Wei and Liao, Jin and Qing dynasties. For many years, Manchu, Hezhen, Oroqen, Ewenki and other ethnic minorities have lived in this northern region. Primitive, rugged and magical, it is the uncanny workmanship of nature that creates the magnificent Heilongjiang style. The most attractive place to go to Heilongjiang in winter is the numerous ice and snow entertainment places. Tourists can choose ice and snow events suitable for themselves, such as skating, skiing, winter swimming, ice sailing, etc. There is also an old legend about Heilongjiang. Long ago, there was a white dragon in the river. It often made waves, flooding the river, leaving the fields barren and sparsely populated in the northeast. At that time, a family gave birth to a child with a black dragon tail, determined that he was a monster, and drove the child away. At the riverside, the child met a lonely old man and lived with him. Gradually, when the children grew up, they knew that there was a white dragon at the river side, and took the initiative to subdue the white dragon. After several days and nights of hard work, they finally defeated the white dragon. In order to thank the children of the black dragon tail, people called the river Heilongjiang.
黑龙江位于中国版图的最北端，是我国纬度最高的省份，这里以前被称做“北大荒”，而如今，已有了沧海桑田的变化。在这片神奇的土地上，有连绵起伏的大、小兴安岭；有沃野千里的松嫩平原；有气势磅礴的黑龙江、乌苏里江、松花江、嫩江水域；有风景秀丽的镜泊湖、五大连池；还有绿草如茵的天然牧场，这些无不勾勒出一幅幅绚丽的画卷。在这片45万多平方公里的土地上，有绵延2800多公里的水界和200多公里的陆界中俄边界线。纵贯西部的大兴安岭与内蒙古自治区相邻，西南部与吉林省相互依傍。
黑龙江省是北魏和辽、金、清朝的发祥地。多少年来，满、赫哲、鄂伦春、鄂温克等少数民族生活在这片北疆领域。原始、粗犷、神奇，正是大自然的鬼斧神工造就了壮美的黑龙江风情。冬季前往黑龙江，最吸引人的莫过于众多的冰雪娱乐场所，游人可以自行选择适合自己的滑冰、滑雪、冬泳、冰帆等冰雪项目。有关黑龙江，还有一个古老的传说，很久以前，江里盘踞着一条白龙，经常兴风作浪，使江水泛滥，田野荒芜，使得东北人烟稀少。当时有户人家生下了一个带黑龙尾的孩子，认定他是怪物，就赶走了孩子。在江边，孩子遇上了一个孤独的老人，便与他同住。渐渐的，孩子长大了，知道江边有白龙作怪的事，主动要求去降伏白龙，经过几个昼夜的苦战，终于战胜了白龙，人们为了感谢黑龙尾的孩子，便将这条江叫做黑龙江。
