Kahari

Kahari belongs to the river country north of the Tumen, where the Gahali and its tributaries descend through wooded hills. The river system included the Hailan and Burhatun, whose waters join the Tumen on its way to the sea. Under the Qing, this region was treated as part of the dynasty's ancestral homeland. Officials reserved rivers and mountains for gathering tribute, including freshwater pearls, ginseng and furs, while restricting settlement in the forest country.
