HEGANG City is on China's northern frontier, with a population of 1.1 million.
Hegang is a mountain city, and mountainous regions make up 70 percent of its total area, where quality timber trees, such as Korean pine and Manchurian ash, grow in natural forests, as well as edible mountain herbs and ginseng.
Exploiting this geographical factor, Hegang practiced the policy of "opening to the north and allying with the south," the former referring to Russia, and the latter to provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in southern China.
Located in the Xiao Hinggan Ling (Lesser Khingan Range) south of the Russian border, it is one of the major coal-producing centers of China.
Over the short span of a few years, Hegang has emerged, by means of its urban construction, and attracted visitors from numerous cities within and without the province.
On arriving in Hegang, one is pleasantly surprised by its clean, neat streets, imposing high-rise buildings, and garden-like square - not at all typical features of a small coal-producing city in a remote frontier area.
