عن Mudanjiang
Jingpo Lake stretches 45 km and was created 10,000 years ago when a volcanic lava flow dammed the Mudanjiang River. The lake's Diaoshuilou Waterfall — 40 metres wide and the largest volcanic lake waterfall in China — is spectacular in summer and becomes a curtain of ice in winter. Mudanjiang's Korean, Manchu, and Han Chinese cultural blend reflects its borderland history — the Russian border lies just 150 km away. The nearby forests are dense with Manchurian fir and wildlife including Siberian roe deer.
