Setting and landscape
The district government lists 25 natural lakes and wetlands in Longfeng, among them the Dongcheng Reservoir (东城水库), North Lake (北湖), Binzhou Lake (滨州湖), Liming Lake (黎明湖) and Sanyong Lake (三永湖). The Longfeng Wetland (龙凤湿地) is a provincial nature reserve of 5,050 hectares that the government describes as the largest wetland reserve inside a city in China. It was built up by sediment from the Nen River (嫩江), the Wuyur River (乌裕尔河) and the Shuangyang River (双阳河). The government records 128 bird species there, including six under first-class national protection such as the oriental stork, red-crowned crane and Siberian crane, as well as 46 fish species.
Winters are long, cold and dry and summers short, warm and wet; the coldest month averages -18.5°C and the warmest 23.3°C.
What to see
Seven large cultural venues stand in the district, among them the Daqing Opera House (大庆歌剧院), the Daqing Museum (大庆博物馆) and the Daqing Library (大庆图书馆).
