==History== In 2014, seven people were killed in Longcheng, Helong by North Korean border guards who had crossed the border in search of money, with locals of the township reporting of North Korean soldiers of crossing the border to commit thefts and murders, especially during winter months when the Tumen River freezes over, allowing for easier access on foot. Later in 2015, three people were killed by North Korean border guards in the same area.
