6. Jiansanjiang Rice
Jiansanjiang Rice features translucent, glossy medium-sized grains. Cooked rice emits a lasting gentle fragrance with shiny, smooth texture and no retrogradation once cooled. It is protected as a National Geographical Indication Product.
Known as China’s "earliest sunrise reclamation area", Jiansanjiang lies deep within the Sanjiang Plain on China’s northern border, bordering Tongjiang, Fujin, Fuyuan and Raohe. Situated in the interfluvial zone where the Heilongjiang, Songhua and Ussuri Rivers converge, it covers a total area of 12,400 square kilometers, accounting for 22% of Heilongjiang’s entire reclamation zone. Its border river coastline stretches 230 kilometers, facing Russia across the water. Land parcels are concentrated and contiguous, encircled by three major rivers and crisscrossed by seven waterways, with flat terrain, fertile soil and abundant resources of all kinds. Ample water supplies and convenient transportation create unmatched advantages for developing farming, forestry, animal husbandry, sideline industries, fisheries, manufacturing, commerce, logistics, construction, services and cross-border trade, with exceptional conditions for modern enterprises, especially green industries. As China’s easternmost region famed for high-quality organic rice, it is hailed as "The First Rice of the East" and "China’s Capital of Green Rice".
The protected geographical scope for Jiansanjiang Rice covers the administrative territories of 15 state farms under the Jiansanjiang Branch of Heilongjiang Land Reclamation Bureau: Qixing, Bayijiu, Chuangye, Hongwei, Shengli, Qianfeng, Qin Deli, Erdaohe, Honghe, Daxing, Yaluhe, Nongjiang, Qianshao, Qianjin and Qinglongshan Farms.
7. Fujin Soybean
Fujin City is a primary production base for high-quality soybeans in Heilongjiang Province, located on one of the world’s three alluvial black soil plains with fertile, easily tilled land ideal for soybean cultivation, earning it the title "Hometown of Chinese Soybeans". Ongoing national soybean demonstration projects have markedly improved local soybean quality, with high-oil and high-protein varieties making up over 95% of total output. The city’s soybean planting area reaches 2 million mu with an annual yield of 300,000 tons. Soybeans produced in surrounding counties, cities and farms are all distributed through Fujin, with an annual throughput of 1 million tons.
Fujin Soybeans feature plump, round grains with thin pale yellow skins, rich in oil, protein and amino acids, earning an outstanding reputation domestically and internationally. They can be boiled directly for soup, while milled soybean products deliver pure rich flavor, making them a staple delicacy for vegetarians. In 2009, "Fujin Soybean" obtained national agricultural product geographical indication registration.
Fujin City sits on the southern bank of the lower Songhua River in northeastern Heilongjiang Province, between 131°49′48″–133°09′40″ east longitude and 46°42′40″–47°13′40″ north latitude. It serves as both a national soybean production base and a state-level breeding base for high-oil soybean raw seeds. The superior growing environment creates unrivaled competitive quality unmatched by other regions nationwide.
Quality Traits of Fujin Soybean
- External Sensory Traits: Mature beans are round or oval with smooth pale yellow skins, large plump grains, thin hulls and pale white seed hila.
- Internal Quality Indicators: New high-oil soybean strains cultivated at test production bases contain over 23% fat, 2–3% higher than conventional soybeans. Thanks to Fujin’s high-latitude location, soybean fat content rises with latitude alongside higher 100-kernel weight, producing plump, glossy golden beans with pale hila.
Fujin Soybean boasts a centuries-long renowned cultivation history. In the 16th year of the Guangxu reign of the Qing Dynasty (1890), the Qing government encouraged migrants to settle and cultivate the undeveloped Beidahuang wilderness. In the early years of the Republic of China (1912), migrants fleeing northern famine flocked to the southern Songhua River bank in Fujin to claim and clear land for soybean farming. Planting acreage expanded steadily, establishing soybeans as Fujin’s core grain industry and primary source of farmer income. Starting in 2010, the Fujin municipal government hosts an annual Golden Bean Festival during autumn harvests for promotional events and soybean trade fairs, fully developing the "Hometown of Chinese Soybeans" and "Fuzhijin" brands. In 2010, the city’s high-quality soybean planting area reached 163,000 hectares.
8. Fuyuan Kaluga Sturgeon
A local folk ballad of Fuyuan goes:
"In warm spring winds, countless nets haul black gold from the Heilongjiang River;
In bright mid-autumn sunshine, thousands of boats gather red pearls on the Ussuri River."
Fuyuan County, designated "China’s Hometown of Sturgeon and Kaluga", sits at the confluence of the Heilongjiang and Ussuri Rivers blessed with unmatched fishery resources as China’s core production zone for Amur sturgeon and kaluga. Scientifically named Acipenser schrenckii (Amur sturgeon) and Huso dauricus (kaluga), these fish are known as "living water fossils" — the oldest surviving vertebrates on Earth with immense scientific research value. Their tender meat is nutrient-dense, while their roe, nicknamed "black gold", sells out rapidly on global markets as premium caviar.
Fuyuan County’s sturgeon and kaluga breeding base was founded in 1998, later designated a major agricultural scientific research project by Heilongjiang Provincial Science and Technology Commission and a provincial diversified agricultural development demonstration base. With support from national, provincial and municipal authorities, it has grown into China’s largest artificial breeding and cultivation facility, housing a 1,200 m² reproduction workshop, 1,200 m² rearing workshop and 800 m² broodstock workshop fully equipped with specialized machinery. The Fuyuan county government invested over 5 million RMB to expand the breeding complex to a total area of 2,000 m², purchasing state-of-the-art water purification equipment and renovating all original workshops, machinery and infrastructure.
9. Fuyuan Common Carp
Four townships under Fuyuan County’s jurisdiction — Haiqing Township, Zhuaji Town, Tongjiang Township and Fuyuan Town — administer 26,753 hectares of water surface, forming a critical spawning and growth habitat for common carp with an annual output of approximately 10 tons. Fuyuan Common Carp has obtained pollution-free aquatic product certification, jointly submitted by Fuyuan Sturgeon & Kaluga Breeding Co., Ltd. and Fuyuan State Fish Farm.
Fishery production has deep historical roots in Fuyuan. Archaeological excavations confirm fishing activity existed here long before the Tang Dynasty, pioneered by ancestral clans of the Hezhe and other ethnic groups inhabiting the Ussuri River basin. To this day, fisheries remain one of Fuyuan’s pillar industries, sustained by superior natural environmental and resource endowments.
Two major river systems — the Heilongjiang and Ussuri — flow 268 kilometers through Fuyuan, dotted with countless unpolluted lakes and marshes. The region enjoys mild temperatures, ample sunlight, moderate rainfall and a pristine ecological environment supporting abundant aquatic biodiversity across 105 fish species from 72 genera in 21 families, including 59 commercially valuable varieties. Carp native to the Heilongjiang and Ussuri Rivers contain high levels of trace minerals: over 160 mg/kg calcium, 1500 mg/kg phosphorus, 260 mg/kg magnesium, 0.07 mg/kg iron and 5 mg/kg zinc, alongside more than 18% crude protein, under 5% crude fat and over 70% unsaturated fatty acids, delivering substantial health benefits for humans. Records of Fuyuan carp are also preserved in local county annals.
10. Wutonghe Rice
Wutonghe Rice originates from the scenic Wutonghe Farm, located within Tangyuan County. The farm borders Dulu River to the east, the Songhua River to the south, Zhenxing Township and Xinhua Farm to the west, and the East Second Drainage Canal of Baoquanling Farm to the north. The Wutonghe River converges with the Songhua River within the territory, crisscrossed by Jiansui Highway and Wubao Highway running through the farm’s central zone. The total farm area spans 313 square kilometers, sloping gently from north to south, with 11,400 hectares of cultivated land accounting for 36.3% of total territory, including 7,300 hectares of paddy fields and 4,000 hectares of dry farmland.
Rice here enjoys a roughly 180-day growth cycle supported by exceptional natural advantages: abundant sunlight, rain and dew, plus ultra-fertile black soil rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other mineral elements perfectly suited to rice growth. Irrigated with pure, unpolluted river or well water, its unique geographical conditions create the rice’s exclusive distinctive quality.
