A Chinese tourist boat waits for passengers before heading up the Songhua River and its wetlands, which serves as a natural border between China and Russia (background), in Fuyuan, a frontier town in China's northern Heilongjiang Province on August 4, 2013. Ecotourism has been part of household vocabularies in China for a decade, however experts believe that the concept still has a long way to go in China. Most domestic tourists are more interested in sightseeing than promoting environmental programs and awareness, according to a study. UPI/Stephen Shaver
