Zhenbao Island, River island at China-Russia border in Hulin, China
The small island extends over 0.74 square kilometers on the Ussuri River, marking the boundary between China and Russia's Primorsky Krai region.
Military confrontations erupted on the island in March 1969 between Chinese and Soviet forces, resulting in numerous casualties and heightened Cold War tensions.
The Chinese name Zhenbao translates to Rare Treasure, while Russians refer to it as Damansky Island after a railway engineer who died there in 1888.
Visitors can explore the island between 08:00 and 16:30 without entry fees, with guided tours explaining the territorial significance and natural features.
The island gained protected status as part of the Heilongjiang Zhenbaodao Wetland National Nature Reserve, established in September 2011.
