  A ride along the Chinese shore of the Tumen River illustrated its potential for development. From the city of Tumen, which was given a rail link in 1993, all the way to Fangchuan in the southern appendix of the municipality, there lies on the Chinese side a 100-kilometer-long strip of meadow and woodlands.

  In the same month, the Hunchun People's Government published a report, concluding that ‘Fangchuan near the Tumen is the best place in Jilin Province to open to Northeast Asia’, referring to the exit to the East Sea. […]
  Between 12 and 19 March 1987, Song Jian, the minister of the State Science and Technology Committee, sent the State Ocean Bureau examiners to the Province to investigate the possibility of exit to the Tumen River. The State Ocean Bureau proposed that a port should be built in Fangchuan.

  The Chinese border town of Fangchuan, the easternmost point of China’s land border along the Tumen River, is only 2 km from the North Korean border train station at Doo-Man River Lee (an equivalent of a township). The rail and land crossings connect Hunchun conveniently with the three North Korean ports of Rajin (90 km away), Sonbong, and Chongjin. Finally, with the town of Fangchuan only 15 km away from the Sea of Japan, Hunchun marks the closest shipping point from northeastern China to the west coast of Japan, with a distance of 800 km from Niigata (see Liu and Liao, 1993).

  A late-afternoon bus ride through the Yanbian countryside as sunlight glitters on fields of rice and warms the upturned roofs of Korean huts, is one of the most exquisite experiences available in the Northeast during July. The best excuse to take such a ride is Fangchuan, a tiny town at the end of a needle-thin strip of Chinese territory between North Korea and Russia, and China's preeminent border-viewing spot. A view from the tower here (¥20) provides vistas of Russia, North Korea and, on a clear day, the northern edge of Japan.

  As Mr Teng fulminated, the road wound along next to the serpentine Tumen, China becoming ever narrower, Russia and North Korea drawing closer on either side. The two would eventually meet, putting a 10-mile gap between Fangchuan and Chinese access to the Sea of Japan, a quirk of the 1860 Qing-Russia Treaty of Peking that has vexed generations of Chinese governments ever since. Still more frustrating these days is the fact that neither Russia nor the DPRK seem to be making very good use of the land immediately over the borders from Fangchuan. […]
  We were nearing the tourist complex at Fangchuan, and Mr Teng swerved to a halt in a large car park.
