Connecting Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and Heilongjiang Province, Greater Hinggan Range is the best preserved and largest primitive forest in China.

The region is the northernmost part of China, with winters that usually last longer than seven months whilst summers around two months. The big difference in temperature therefore contributes to the distinctive views of the same forest in different seasons.

Such as the frost-covered world of white in winter.

And vibrant autumn views painted by golden leaves.

Or the endlessly stretching greenery in summer.
