The 20 kilometers long bridge will connect the city of Heihe in Heilongjiang with Blagoveshchensk in Russia's Amur region on the other side of the Heilong River.

这座长20公里的大桥将连接黑龙江省的黑河市和俄罗斯阿穆尔地区的布拉戈维申斯克，这两个城市隔黑龙江相望。

A one-way boat ride takes less than 10 minutes and Russian residents can have breakfast in Heihe and then continue with their onward travel itinerary, Liu said.

刘说，单程乘船不到10分钟，俄罗斯居民可以在黑河吃早餐，然后继续他们的旅游行程。

The resumption of the China-Russia visa-free policy at the end of September this year is not for individuals but for tourist groups too, according to the Heihe Cultural Radio, television and Tourism Bureau.

据黑河文化广播电视和旅游局称，今年9月底恢复的中俄免签政策不针对个人，仅适用于旅游团体。

A manager surnamed Li from a local travel agency in Heihe told the Global Times that during the Golden Week holiday from September 29 to October 6, they experienced a small peak in tourists traveling to Russia.

黑河当地一家旅行社的李姓经理告诉《环球时报》，在9月29日至10月6日的黄金周假期期间是俄罗斯旅游的小高峰。
