Mòhé

Mohe lies in the northern forests south of the Amur, in a country of long winters and winding rivers. During the Qing campaigns against the Russian fort of Albazin, the need to send troops and supplies across this difficult region led to the construction of a military relay road. In 1685 soldiers cut a route from Mergen through the Greater Khingan toward the mouth of the Emur. Its stations carried messages and provisions between the inland garrisons and the Amur frontier.
