A three-hour drive along the border brings travelers to Ergun, next to the Greater Hinggan Mountains and Hulunbuir Grasslands.


Twenty-one ethnic groups inhabit the city.


Scalloped domes and tent roofs dot the cityscape.


Many of the ethnic Russian locals speak fluent Chinese. They've preserved many of the traditions of their immigrant ancestors.


Many Chinese settled along the border when the Chinese Eastern Railway was completed in the early 1900s.


A gold rush between the end of the 19th and early 20th centuries lured Chinese miners to the Ergun River that forms part of the border.


Many Russians also came to the river during the period.


This history is portrayed in the local musical, The Love of Ergun.


It tells the story of a young Russian woman, who falls in love with a Chinese gold miner. They return to his hometown, Ergun, and wed.


It's a portrait of the marriages between ethnicities at the time. The fifth generation of their descendants live in the area today.


The city's Liliya Manor offers accommodation in Russian-style buildings and Russian dining and cultural experiences. Its founder, Feng Yuxia, is the second-generation descendant of a Chinese-and-Russian family. She makes khleb (bread) according to her Russian grandmother's recipe.


Locals in traditional Russian garb greet guests by observing a tradition of offering them khleb dipped in salt.


The manor's Khleb Culture Center showcases khleb culture. Visitors can watch hosts make the bread or make it themselves, and sample different flavors and shapes.


Indeed, the warmth of the locals is one of the many appeals that make Hulunbuir a hot destination in the cold season.
