About
About Yichun
Yichun (Chinese: 伊春; pinyin: Yīchūn) is a prefecture-level city on the Songhua river in Heilongjiang province, China. The city is separated from Russia by the Amur River and has an international border of 246 kilometres (153 mi).
Yichun, as a city, is young in Chinese history (founded in 1945 as a town and 1957 as a city), however human beings have been here for ages (starting no later than the Zhou Dynasty, controlled by Sushen nation but not the central government) as a village-sized residential area. The city was founded by the Japanese in the Anti-Japanese war, as they built the Tanglin Railway from Nancha to Wuyun town in Jiayin, for transporting the iron and wood resources to bigger cities in the region, and then Japan.
