Why do many people in suifenhe city, the strangest city in China, use foreign currency?

For a long time, the north is a developed area with heavy industry, rich in mineral resources, and there are also some good tourist attractions, such as Tian 'anmen, Siheyuan and Heilongjiang in Beijing, which are also good places to travel, especially in winter, where the ice and snow scene can be described as beautiful. There is a city in Heilongjiang called suifenhe city, where residents actually use foreign currency. This is a great miracle. Why? Next, let's look at the reasons.

Suifenhe city, located in the southeast of Heilongjiang Province, is a beautiful border mountain city, with 50% urban and 50% rural. It is the smallest city in Heilongjiang Province with a population of tens of thousands. Because suifenhe city is adjacent to Russia, it is the communication channel between Heilongjiang Province and Russia, the window of communication and opening to Russia in Northeast China, and of course it is also the key area of China's opening to the outside world. Therefore, suifenhe city is a very special region. Even though it is very small, it is located in the most remote place on the map of China, but it is connected with Chinese and foreign exchanges, and it is a place that the country values.

Suifenhe city is really close to Russia, separated by a river, so the residents here have very close and frequent contacts with Russia. We can see many foreign friends in suifenhe city, most of whom are Russian tourists, and of course there are many Koreans, Japanese and so on. Why? Because it is very convenient for us to go to South Korea, North Korea and other countries by boat through Suifenhe. It is precisely because of the proximity between the two places that suifenhe city residents are allowed to use foreign currency.

Suifenhe city is a promising place because of its special permission to use foreign currency, which makes other towns jealous. This national policy is not only conducive to exchanges between China and foreign countries, but also makes the exchange rate between RMB and ruble more accurate and standardized, which is also a breakthrough for other cities and may be a future development direction.
