Southern Dàqìng Lakes

The southern lakes of the Daqing country occupy low ground on the Songnen plain, near the lower course of the Nen. Shallow pools, reed beds and grassland form a landscape in which water and land meet along broad, uncertain shores. The Wuyuer and Shuangyang rivers spread over the lowlands, feeding a region rich in lakes. Fishing has long been important here, while Mongol pastoral communities used the surrounding grasslands beside the river.
