What first comes to mind when we talk about Dongbei? A snowy world of ice and wind? The soft, white frost on the trees? These are all things people in Dongbei are familiar with.

Amy went on an adventure on both sides of the Songhua River, experiencing the natural wonders of these majestic waters. Let’s try some classic northeast cuisine with Amy and enjoy a warm Shennong hot spring.
