Tālāhā

Talaha stands in the low country east of the Nen River, among the grasslands and lakes of the Songnen plain. During the Kangxi reign the Qing established a relay station here on the road linking Jilin Ula with Heilongjiang. Station households carried official messages and provided for travelers, while also cultivating land in the surrounding countryside. The post was one link in the long chain of communications that connected the northeastern frontier garrisons with the Qing court.
