Daxinganling is in the north end of China's territory. It is west to Xiaoxinganling, east to Inner Mongolia, north to Songnen Plain and south to Russia.
Early in the late Paleolithic Age, human beings started to live in this area. It was already a state of the Zhou Dynasty (770BC-221BC) empire. From Sui Dynasty (581-618) to Liao Dynasty (916-1125), it was controlled by the Shiwei people (the ancestor of Oroqen Nationality). In the 16th century, it was reigned by the Manchu people. In 1970, it became a district under the direct guide of Heilongjiang Province.
Daxinganling is a natural unpolluted area with peculiar landscape of forest, rivers, ice and snow. It is the largest modern national forest area in China. Large areas of forest offer the locals with abundant wild plants and animals resources. In addition, it is rich in minerals especially gold.
Huzhong National Nature Reserve: Located between Daxinganling main range and Yilehuli Mountain, it is the largest primitive Eastern larch forest in northern China. It is home to many kinds of rare animals and plants. Dabai Mountain, the peak of north range of Daxinganling Mountain, is the highlight of the area.
Mohe County: It is situated in the north end of China and borders Russia. Beiji Village (The Village of Northern-Pole) is the only place in China to enjoy polar day and polelight. The cross-border river Heilongjiang River rises from Mohe. The 'Gold Path' is said to be the way where gold was transported in ancient times. Yanzhizhou is the famous gold production base where tourists can experience the gold rush by themselves.
