Rainfall is abundant in summer in Hanma National Nature Reserve. Due to permafrost, the riverbed doesn't erode, but expands horizontally to shape more river bends, leading to a network three times longer than the mainstream. Meltwater and rainfall that aren't absorbed in low-lying areas from seasonal or perennial ponds create a unique wetland landscape in the Greater Hinggan Mountains.
