A Niche Travel Guide to Jiagedaqi
Is there a place whose name alone captivates you?
Jiagedaqi is perhaps one of the most unique places in China. In the Oroqen language, "Jiagedaqi" means "a place with Korean pines." The name is both romantic and poetic. This administrative center in the Greater Khingan Mountains has a rather unique geographical location, situated in the vast forests of the Oroqen Autonomous Banner in Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia, yet administratively under the jurisdiction of Heilongjiang.
Although small, Jiagedaqi is the largest city in the Greater Khingan Mountains. Its architectural style is unique, leaning towards European and Russian influences. The yellow walls and blue roofs stand out vividly in the white winter. Its wide streets, beautiful buildings, and picturesque environment have earned it the reputation of "Pearl of the Forest," "Emerging Forest City," and "First City of Wanli Xing'an." The Gan River flows continuously through the south of the city, never freezing even in the coldest winter months. The morning mist is ethereal and beautiful. However, be careful where you step when playing around; one of my companions fell into an ice hole...
