The May 1987 Greater Khingan wildfire caused profound loss and remains central to Mohe’s public memory. Memorial events and the local fire memorial museum connect remembrance with present-day forest-fire prevention.

Huzhong Nature Reserve protects a cold-temperate conifer forest dominated by Dahurian larch, a deciduous tree that sheds its needles. The seasonal shift in color offers a way to understand the ecology of the Greater Khingan forest.
Shibazhan brings together several timelines: archaeological traces, the relay-station system and a contemporary Oroqen township. Its story is best read as layered local history rather than a single-origin narrative.

On the Amur’s southern bank, Beihong’s timber houses and family food traditions reveal a border village through local memories and the work of a bread shop.
