The most typical trees here are Korean pine forest, Korean pine broad-leaved mixed forest and broadleaved deciduous forest, with more than 50 kinds of wild animals living in the area.
The Wudalianchi Scenic Area, located in Heihe, Heilongjiang province, sits in the extension zone from the Lesser Khingan Mountains to Songnen Plain, covering an area of 1,060 sq km.

Scientists have likened this place to a "museum of natural volcanoes". The spring water here has a high mineral content of excellent quality, which has earned it a reputation for possessing favorable medical properties.
