When planning a trip to Suihua, it is worth distinguishing between the city area and its nearby surroundings. Jinguishanzhuang is 30 kilometres from the city area; in the depths of winter, ice and snow tourism takes centre stage there. The Suihua Martyrs’ Park and Suihua Museum are also located in the associated township; Heitu Lüzhiyuan is in Beilin District. This places a winter recreation hub alongside municipal cultural and museum destinations. If you are looking for a hotel in Suihua, this geographical distinction can help you decide on the focus of your visit before choosing where to stay. Jinguishanzhuang can therefore be considered a separate attraction in the nearby surroundings, rather than another destination within the city area.

Jinguishanzhuang in winter

On the north bank of the Nihe River, Jinguishanzhuang lies at the boundary between Beilin District and Qing’an and Bayan Counties. The site has Heilongjiang’s first outdoor curling venue and serves as a centre for ice and snow tourism and public recreational sports in the depths of winter. The curling venue is a specific sporting highlight within this broader winter recreation setting. If you plan to visit this particular facility, check in advance whether it is currently open.

Cultural and municipal attractions

Suihua Martyrs’ Park is located in Suihua People’s Park; it was formerly known as Suihua Martyrs’ Cemetery. On 6 January 2025, Suihua Museum offered admission by card or QR code, as well as a free explanatory service. Check before your visit whether these arrangements are still in place. In Beilin District, the Heitu Lüzhiyuan tourist area was upgraded from category AA to category AAA in 2025. These municipal attractions offer different points of interest: the park has a historical name, the museum highlights specific visitor services, and Heitu has a tourism classification. If cultural and museum sites are to shape your stay, you can consider them as a separate group, apart from Jinguishanzhuang’s winter focus.

Regional menus in Jinguishanzhuang

The cuisine is also found in Jinguishanzhuang. The folk-style “Eight against Eight” and “Six against Six” menus include, among other things, pork dishes, rice cakes, steamed buns and glutinous rice and bean buns. They are accompanied by a variety of grains and small fish, green vegetables, and local liquor to sample. Alongside winter recreational sports, these specific dishes offer another reason to visit. Check the current menu selection in advance if you want to plan specifically around these dishes.

Choose a hotel based on what you plan to visit

First decide whether you plan to visit the nearby surroundings or focus mainly on municipal cultural and museum attractions. This lets you treat Jinguishanzhuang as a separate part of your itinerary, rather than mentally equating it with a destination in the city area. It can help you focus your hotel search on the main purpose of your stay.
