Hulin

Hulin lies south of the Wanda Mountains near the Ussuri River. Forests, wetlands and river plains meet in this eastern part of the Amur basin. The Hezhen people lived by fishing and hunting along the river, making clothing from fish skin and vessels and other objects from birch bark. In the Ming period, the authorities established the Shilīmian guard in the Hulin area as part of their relations with communities along the Ussuri.
