On the northern slopes of the Lesser Khingan Mountains in Heilongjiang Province, a landscape covered by 97% forest lies like a green amber sealed in time—this is the Fenglin Biosphere Reserve. Covering an area about 8 times the size of Macau, it was designated by UNESCO in 1997.

The forest is dominated by Korean pine, which makes up 65% of its stands and represents the most typical and intact natural Korean pine community in China. These ancient, towering pines—an endemic species of Northeast Asia—attract countless visitors and researchers.

Fenglin retains the ancient characteristics of Tertiary plant communities, showcasing a long evolutionary history and serving as a true remnant of the original forests before the development of the Lesser Khingan Mountains.

The reserve is home to rare animals such as red deer, Asiatic black bear, and lynx, and hosts over 300 species of medicinal plants along with species like Amur linden, Manchurian ash, and wild soybean. In total, it harbors at least 612 plant species, 52 mammal species, and 220 bird species.

Fenglin stands as a guardian of the Korean pine and the vitality of this forest. In every growth ring of the Korean pine lies the code of nature and the wisdom of living in harmony with it.
