Hongxing Wetland Water Conservancy Scenic Area

The Hongxing Wetland Water Conservancy Scenic Area is a national water conservancy scenic area and a national nature reserve.

The Hongxing Wetland Water Conservancy Scenic Area is located in the Hongxing District in the northwest of Yichun City, Heilongjiang Province, and is built around the Kulbin Reservoir and Kulbin River.

The scenic area is a wetland-type water conservancy scenic zone, with a planned area of 1,685 square kilometers, including 175 square kilometers of water surface. It boasts superior pristine ecological conditions and extremely rich landscape resources, serving as a typical representation of the forest-wetland ecosystem in northern China. The area features well-developed grass ponds, marshes, meadows, shrubs, and forests. In the southwest of the scenic area lies the Basalt Rock Sea, formed by the weathering of ancient volcanic magma, offering a unique landscape. The area is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, including 8 species under first-class national protection, 43 species under second-class national protection, and 885 plant species, earning it the reputation of being the “Treasure House of Flora and Fauna in Heilongjiang Province.” Leveraging the opportunity to establish itself as a national water conservancy scenic area, the region uses water as its central theme to integrate existing resources and create a new tourism brand and image.
