China today―Foreigners Exchanges |
 | | HEGANG City is on China's northern frontier, with a population of 1.1 million. |
 | | Hegang is a mountain city, and mountainous regions make up 70 percent of its total area, where quality timber trees, such as Korean pine and Manchurian ash, grow in natural forests, as well as edible mountain herbs and ginseng. |
 | | Exploiting this geographical factor, Hegang practiced the policy of "opening to the north and allying with the south," the former referring to Russia, and the latter to provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in southern China. |
