Suifenhe is a county-level city in southeastern Heilongjiang province, China, located where the former Chinese Eastern Railway crosses the border with the Russian town of Pogranichny in Primorsky Krai. In January 2014 it became the only Chinese city in which trading with the Russian ruble is officially allowed. The city shares its name with the Suifen River and is under the administration of the prefecture-level city of Mudanjiang. Suifenhe and the surrounding border areas were scenes of vicious combat when the Soviet Union invaded Japanese-occupied Manchuria in August 1945.
