Sight-Seeing
Shuangyashan is surrounded by small mountains, and a large park based around one of these mountains forms a major feature of the out-door life of the town. During the winter, this pine and elm covere mountain forms a lovely area for hiking and general snow play. In summer, the cool Heilongjiang summer, and the very long northern days make this a wonderful area to spend the days.
