Cape Sosunova

Cape Sosunova lies off the northeastern Asian coast, where the sea meets the lowlands of the lower Amur and Ussuri. Jurchen peoples founded the Jin dynasty in 1115, and their successors, the Manchus, created the Qing state and brought the northeast into imperial administration. Coastal communities traded fish, furs and forest goods with river towns, and the sea linked the lower Amur and Ussuri country with Korea and the Japanese archipelago. Hunting, fishing, livestock keeping and farming made up a mixed economy among the Tungusic peoples of the region.
