In this episode, Lisa takes us to the border city of Blagoveshchensk, where Russia and China face each other across a river. The contrast is insane — one side is Russia, the other is China. She's on her epic road trip to Moscow, and this stop is a must-see. The energy is electric!
On day nine of her epic van journey across Russia, Lisa The Russian arrives in Blagoveshchensk, a border town that feels like a front-row seat to China. Right from the start, she's buzzing with excitement. The first thing she does is drive to the Amur River embankment, where the skyline of the Chinese city Heihe is so close she can almost touch it. She points out giant Chinese flags, a Ferris wheel, and a cable car under construction – the first cross-border cable car in the world. Lisa marvels at how you can walk across the frozen river in winter, but warns that the border guards are watching. <br><br>She explores the well-maintained streets, noting that the city is cleaner and more fashionable than her hometown Vladivostok. At the Triumph Arch and the monument to the border patrol with a cute dog, she feels the strange mix of history and modernity. The highlight is the binoculars at the river: she zooms in on Chinese cruise ships blasting loud music and sees parks, malls, and apartments. It's a surreal peek into another country. <br><br>Inside the Russia-China Friendship House, Lisa buys magnets and shares a tip about the Vostochny Cosmodrome – you can take a tour for about 5,000 rubles, but seeing a launch requires advance booking and a bigger budget. She also finds a Starbucks, a rare treat since she hasn't had one since Moscow. <br><br>But the real tension builds as she plans the next leg. The fuel situation is nerve-wracking: between Skovorodino and Chita there's a 1,000 km stretch with almost no gas stations. Lisa calculates her canisters, worries about running out, and takes comfort in the story of the Polish guys who made it through. She decides to stop in Shimanovsk, a small town, before tackling the empty road. The day ends with her cuddling her dog Misha, hoping the weather clears for one last evening view of China. Lisa's mix of awe at the border and anxiety about the road ahead makes this a truly memorable stop on her trans-Russian adventure.
Lisa The Russian takes us to Blagoveshchensk, a Russian border town where China feels close enough to touch. She marvels at the riverfront, the towering monuments, and the insane cable car under construction—soon you'll be able to zip across the Amur. But the real drama? Fuel anxiety for the next thousand kilometers.
Lisa explores Blagoveshchensk, staring at China across the Amur River, checking out the new cable car, and stressing about fuel for the long drive ahead.
Russia China Border: Blagoveshchensk River View & Cable Car to Heihe
13:38 Book a tour to the Vostochny Cosmodrome for about 5,000 rubles. You can visit the science village and eat in the canteen, but seeing a launch requires a separate, expensive tour booked well in advance.
19:42 When driving from Blagoveshchensk to Chita, you'll face a 1,000 km stretch with almost no gas stations. Carry extra fuel canisters – at least 20 L more than you think you need.
11:07 The cable car between Blagoveshchensk and Heihe is still under construction. Once open, it will be the first cross-border cable car, offering a unique way to enter China.
7:58 Visit the Amur River embankment for the best view of China. Use the binoculars (free) to see Heihe's parks, Ferris wheel, and Chinese cruise ships up close.
0:32 Stay in Blagoveshchensk for at least two nights to explore the riverfront, monuments, and the Russia-China Friendship House. The city is very walkable and well-maintained.
12:34 If you plan to cross the border, don't forget your international passport. Lisa forgot hers, so she couldn't visit Heihe this time.

I think it's not finished yet, but it will connect two countries—you'll need to cross immigration just like at any border.
What is the biggest challenge for the next part of your trip?
I'm stressed about the 1,000 km stretch from Skovorodino to Chita with almost no gas stations. I'll need extra canisters of fuel to make it.
Can you visit the Vostochny Cosmodrome?
Yes, but you can only enter with a pre-booked tour. The cosmodrome tour costs about 5,000 rubles and includes visiting the science village and canteen.
