The Russian people in China are descendants of Russian immigrants and returned overseas Chinese from Russia. They have kept their unique traditions alive, including Eastern Orthodox culture, the art of playing the accordion, and the custom of traditional bread baking. Their folk culture is mainly distributed in Inner Mongolia, Northeast China and Northern Xinjiang (Altay Region). Top recommended attractions are Shiwei Russian Ethnic Township and Ergun Wetland in Ergun, Inner Mongolia, together with Altay in northern Xinjiang. In these destinations, you can listen to melodious accordion music, taste freshly baked Russian bread, admire characteristic Russian-style wooden houses, and feel the strong Eastern Orthodox cultural atmosphere. It is a wonderful travel experience blending exotic customs and natural wetland scenery.
