Situated in the Changbai Mountain Range at the northern end of the Laoye Ling range, Boli Hongxing Forest Park features predominantly steep mountainous terrain, with most slopes ranging between 15° and 28°. The total forested area spans 92,220 square meters, sloping from north to south, with an average elevation of 600 meters and a highest point of 900 meters.
Established in 1958, Boli Hongxing Forest Park has 832 hectares of reforested land, including 494 hectares of young forest, 88 hectares of mid-aged forest, 250 hectares of near-mature forest, and 8,020 hectares of natural mixed forest. Logging operations include gradual cutting, clear-cutting, and selective cutting, while tending practices involve growth tending, thinning for light, special timber tending, and shelterbelt tending. There are planned and organized efforts to develop and utilize mountain products such as wild vegetables, edible fungi, and medicinal plants. Based on the site conditions of Boli Hongxing Forest Park, the forestland resources are utilized to vigorously develop projects such as medicinal herbs, edible fungi, forest frog farming, and blue honeysuckle bases, adjusting the industrial structure to form a system that coexists with timber production, deep wood processing, and multiple economic forms.
Leveraging the natural advantages of Boli Hongxing Forest Park and integrating with the Xidaquan Nature Reserve, the park is developing the Yecha Ridge and Tongtian Gully scenic areas using its existing 25 natural attractions. Plans include building a small ski resort, holiday village, and developing rafting zones in the Ergong Team section, among other multi-functional features in the forest park and garden-style forest community. These will accommodate large numbers of tourists for sightseeing and vacationing. With the resource advantages of the forest farm as the leading force, foreign investment and advanced technologies are being introduced to enhance efficiency through timber processing. The blue honeysuckle base is being expanded into a processing base for blue honeysuckle fruit wine, with external sales of berries and seedlings, processing of wild vegetables, and broadened sales channels.
