Heilongjiang Daqing

2-Day Daqing Tour | An Underrated Northern City, Hiding a Tough Heart🌅

Did you know? This city, famous for its oil, actually boasts stunning wetland scenery! In two days, discover the rugged yet tender Daqing.

🌈Day 1: A Hardcore Industrial Tour
📍Daqing Petroleum Museum
This must-see landmark tells the story of the city's "black gold legend." Don't miss the stunning 4D cinema! Address: No. 6 Dongfeng Road, Sartu District

📍Iron Man Wang Jinxi Memorial Hall
Experience up close the Iron Man spirit of "rather risking his life 20 years later than he could have conquered the oil fields." We recommend hiring a guide; the stories are incredibly moving. Address: No. 2 Chengfeng Street, Ranghulu District

🌈Day 2: A Tender Wetland Tour
📍Longfeng Wetland Nature Reserve (Highly Recommended!)
Stunning natural scenery within the city! Sunrise is perfect for photo opportunities 📸, where you can spot flocks of migrating birds. Remember to bring binoculars~

📍Liming Lake

A favorite strolling spot for locals, it's breathtakingly beautiful at dusk, reminiscent of an oil painting. There are many unique restaurants near the lake, and I recommend trying the Daqing specialty, iron pot stew!

🍖Food Tips:
✔️ Grilled Meat Street, a favorite of veteran oil traders
✔️ Iron pot stewed goose by Liming Lake
✔️ Daqing barbecue specialties (be sure to try the grilled oil-fried sides)

⚠️Practical Tips:
1️⃣ Daqing experiences significant temperature swings between day and night, so bring a jacket.
2️⃣ Arrive before 7 AM for wetland birdwatching.
3️⃣ Industrial tour guides are in high demand, so make sure to book in advance.

Beneath its steely exterior lies a gentle heart. Visit Daqing and you'll discover it's far more fascinating than you might imagine!
