The cranberries surprised a lot of Chinese people, even many from Heilongjiang Province, who didn't realize that the fruit is cultivated in the region.

Since the introduction of cranberries from North America in 2014, Fuyuan city in Heilongjiang province has grown 280 hectares of cranberries, making it one of the largest cranberry growing bases in Asia.

Other types of berries grown in Northeast China include blueberries and raspberries, which are also often thought to be imported into China from other countries.

Many people have also discovered that some precious foods, such as Wagyu beef, black truffles and caviar, are also produced in Northeast China.
