Zhenbao is under military administration, so tourists are sometimes barred from the island itself (foreigners all the more so). But Chinese visitors can pay to be whizzed around it on motorboats.

"At 4:10 A.M. Moscow time [10:10 A.M. Far Eastern time] on March 2, the Chinese authorities staged an armed provocation in the area of the border post of Nizhnemikhailovka (Damansky Island) on the Ussuri River. An armed Chinese unit crossed the Soviet state frontier and proceeded toward Damansky Island.[…]
Islands in the Ussuri River, which forms the border between Chinese Manchuria and the Soviet Union's Maritime Territory are disputed. Presumably Damansky Island, near Nizhnemikhailovka, 140 miles south of Khabarovsk, is one of the disputed islands.

text: The suggestion implicit in the Russian version of the Damansky fighting is that the Soviet guards were killed as a result of Chinese deceit and trickery, the sort of thing one would expect of an Oriental. Moscow’s propaganda was directed mainly to Westerners and it was presented in such a way as to strike a responsive chord among those prepared to believe in stories of Asian duplicity.
