Watching the sunset at Linjiang Village on the Sino-Russian border under the afterglow of the sunset

Linjiang Village is located in Erguna City, Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The "jiang" in Linjiang refers to the Erguna River, the upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River, marking the border between China and Russia. The entire village has only about a hundred households, and walking along the village streets, you'll occasionally spot faces of Russian descent.

Shortly after arriving in Linjiang Village, we asked the innkeeper how to get up the hillside to watch the sunset. He said to turn left and follow the path next to the Linjiang Inn up the hill. After a while, we finally saw the sunset. The setting sun cast a faint yellow hue over Linjiang Village, while the Erguna River continued its gentle flow in the distance.

After sunset, we returned along the same route and happened to see Maria Bakery. We bought a loaf of bread to try. Loaf is a staple of Russian food, typically fermented for a long time before being baked, unlike the soft bread commonly found in Taiwan.
