On November 10, 2026, according to a report by China Tourism News, the Heilongjiang Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism recently issued the "Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the High-Quality Development of the Residential Tourism Industry," promoting the province's tourism industry to transition from sightseeing check-ins to long-stay slow living, and to build the "Residential Tourism and Wellness · Enjoy Longjiang" brand. The opinions propose building a province-wide residential tourism pattern of "one core leading, two belts connecting, three zones supporting," with Harbin as the residential tourism distribution center, and focus on developing seven types of residential tourism formats including summer wellness, rural pastoral, and border customs; at the same time, they clearly state the need to revitalize idle real estate, hotels, sanatoriums and other existing resources, and develop diverse accommodation formats such as rural homestays, residential apartments, and specialty camps. On November 12, Pinchain Tourism reported that the opinions were issued on November 11, and specified that by 2028 the province's annual residential tourism reception number will reach 3 million person-times and the total residential tourism consumption scale will exceed 28 billion yuan, and by 2030 these will rise to an annual reception of 5 million person-times and a total consumption scale exceeding 40 billion yuan, basically completing a province-wide, all-season suitable residential tourism destination network. Earlier reports said the opinions were issued "recently"; follow-up reports said the specific issuance date was November 11. The opinions have now been issued, and no follow-up reports on implementation progress have yet been seen.
