Guandong Folk Culture Village

Guandong Folk Culture Village is located on the beautiful west bank of the Hulan River. Situated on the Laha Ridge, the Hulan River flows past from the southeast. Historically, the river often flooded, and after years of erosion by the river, the yellow earth inside the ridge gradually became exposed, forming steep yellow-earth cliffs, hence the name “Yellow Cliff Village.”

The area boasts picturesque countryside and simple, honest folkways. The Guandong Folk Culture Village was built upon this village settlement. This village was first established over 170 years ago, in the 11th year of the Daoguang reign (1831), when the Qiao family from Dengzhou, Shandong—led by Qiao Hengzhang—fled hunger and ventured to the Northeast in search of survival. They set up a home and began cultivating the land here. After generations of hard work and growth by those who migrated from Shandong, the once vast wilderness has turned into fertile farmland, and the barren hills have become lush and green. Today, Shandong Village has developed into an administrative village with over 300 farm households, nearly 1,500 residents, and an annual per capita income of nearly ten thousand yuan—a prosperous and wealthy village.

The village not only houses the largest folk culture exhibition hall in the province but also features the under-construction “Zhu Kaishan Courtyard,” which depicts the heyday of the Northeast migrants. There is also a Folk Culture Avenue that showcases the customs, traditions, and daily life of the people of the Northeast. The village is dotted with numerous orchards and ponds and is known for producing high-quality green coarse grains. It serves as a supply base for our province’s “Five Grains & Coarse Cereals” rice company, truly making it a “land of fish and rice.”

Address: The village is situated on the west bank of the Hulan River, 67 kilometers south of downtown Harbin, 85 kilometers east of Suihua City, and 140 kilometers west of Daqing City. National Highway 202 (Harbin to Heihe) and the Suilan Highway run near the village, making transportation extremely convenient.
