Exotic town becomes popular tourist destination in China's Heilongjiang

An aerial drone photo shows the winter scenery of Hengdaohezi Town in Hailin City, northeast China's Heilongjiang Province. Dubbed "a town pulled by trains," Hengdaohezi was originally established in the late 19th century when Russians built train maintenance workshops and other facilities there following the construction of the Chinese Eastern Railway. Due to well-preserved historic buildings, the exotic town now has become a popular tourist destination. (Xinhua)
