Xuguit

Xuguit lies where the grasslands of Hulunbuir meet the wooded slopes of the Greater Khingan. Its name has been explained in Mongolian as a place of extensive forest. Rivers descend from the mountains towards the Hailar and the Argun, linking the forested uplands with the open steppe. In the eighteenth century a Qing postal station stood on the route between Qiqihar and Hulunbuir, near the river country associated with this place.
