  Located 40 kilometers from the city center and covering an area of 30 million square meters, it is the largest wetland reserve in Songyuan City. This is the main waterway from Songyuan to Harbin. Here, the Nen River, the First Songhua River, and the Second Songhua River converge, forming three distinct water channels. Due to differences in water quality, the flows display varying colors, creating a spectacular sight—hence the name "Sanjiangkou" (Mouth of Three Rivers). It is a paradise for wildlife. Nearly 100 species of aquatic and terrestrial plants thrive here, including the well-known reeds, cattails, water chestnuts, gorgon fruits, water lilies, alkali grass, and daylilies. There are also nearly 200 species of birds, waterfowl, and fish, such as cranes, herons, geese, ducks, eagles, orioles, and cuckoos. Among the fish are the famous "Three Flowers and Five Snails," as well as carp, crucian carp, silver carp, and grass carp. It has been designated as a provincial-level nature reserve. Plans are underway for the design and construction of facilities including a bird-watching platform, bird-watching boardwalks, an observation tower, a central square, and a hotel.
