Wangkui County (simplified Chinese: 望奎县; traditional Chinese: 望奎縣; pinyin: Wàngkuí Xiàn) is a county of western Heilongjiang province, People's Republic of China. It is under the jurisdiction of the prefecture-level city of Suihua.
Wankui in its Chinese name could be translated as Watch Kui. Kui represents the old name of QiqiHaer which is the second largest city in Heilongjiang province. Because the terrain of Wangkui is high, people in the past are able to watch Kui. And that is the why this little county is called Wang(Watch)kui.
One of the most famous cultural icon of this county is traditional Chinese barbecue. Two thirds of restaurants in this county would be a barbecue restaurant. Big stick with fat meat is no more popular here, locals appreciate small stick with small pieces of meat.
This county has four elementary schools and four secondary schools. It also has two high schools, No.1 High school and No.2 High school. Most students who want to have 'Gaokao' would choose to study at No.1 High school; and those who have talents about music and painting would go to No.2 High school.

- "Sina Visitor System" 【气温】今天新疆吐鲁番盆地和东北、华北部分地区出现高温。辽宁、黑龙江有10个国家级气象站，气温打破当地5月最高纪录（图2）。省会城市中，哈尔滨35.3℃、长春33.3℃、沈阳34.4℃，均创当地今年气温新高。哈尔滨出现今年首个高温，也是1961年以来5月第三次出现高温。 今晚到明天，会有冷空气东移，东北气温大幅下降。之后冷空气依然频繁影响内蒙古东部和东北地区，使得气温转偏低。哈尔滨明天降至24℃，4日最高降至18℃。长春4-6日最高气温也将持续低于20℃。和这个周末的炎热反差很大。而南方地区未来高温会从华南向江南扩展。 海口、南宁、福州、广州将陆续重返高温区，而且湿度大，天气闷热，体感温度更高。而未来3天华北平原、新疆多地，也会持续有高温，明后2天，吐鲁番盆地热度比今天更高。未来2天，天津、济南、郑州都可能出现今年首个高温，石家庄报6月2日最高39℃。总之华北到长江中下游多地，未来3天气温可能创新高。 (in Simplified Chinese). weatherman_信欣 on Weibo.
