Nine-Bend Eighteen-Bay Wetland Park

　　Nine-Bend Eighteen-Bay Wetland Park is situated at the 485-kilometer mark of the Jiamo Highway. The road here winds along the mountainside, and when you stop to take it in, the view suddenly opens up. Looking up, you’ll see dense layers of dark green pine trees on the mountains, undulating peaks like surging clouds and mist, and the rustling of pine waves that sound like galloping horses. Looking down, the breathtaking scenery unfolds like an oil painting. The winding and rugged Nine-Bend River meanders forward like a dragon in motion. Lush, bluish-green willows line the banks, dotted with tall and graceful poplar trees. Wild ducks play and fly overhead, while forest birds chirp and hop among the hills, stirring the imagination... Especially in the early morning or after the rain, when mists and clouds linger all around, you may feel as if you’re walking on auspicious clouds, as though you’ve wandered into a fairyland.

　　Covering a total area of 4,929 hectares, Nine-Bend Eighteen-Bay National Wetland Park is promoted as the “Summer Retreat and Wellness Paradise at China’s Northernmost Tip.” This enhances the visibility of forest tourism in the Greater Khingan Mountains. With its richly pristine attractions—“trekking through virgin forests, exploring wetlands, ascending Dabai Mountain, and experiencing the Oroqen traditional culture”—along with tourism offerings such as “forest sightseeing, leisure vacations, wetland exploration, and ice-snow experiences,” it has become a flagship brand of tourism in the Greater Khingan Mountains.

　　The zoning and development of the wetland park adhere to the basic principles of “comprehensive protection, ecological priority, rational utilization, and sustainable development.” By making full use of the natural and scenic resources within and around the park, it is being developed into a premier eco-tourism destination in Northeast China, characterized by a distinctive overall image, well-developed infrastructure, unique wetland landscapes, and a blend of educational, sightseeing, leisure, and recreational functions, all infused with rich local cultural elements.
