Bikin National Park

The park spans 1,160,000 hectares of mixed forest across the west slope of the Sikhote-Alin mountains, containing diverse ecosystems and wildlife habitats.

Established in November 2015, this protected area became part of the Central Sikhote-Alin UNESCO World Heritage Site through an extension in 2018.

The territory sustains 600 indigenous Udeghe and Nanai people who maintain traditional practices of fishing, hunting, and gathering pine nuts.

The park requires advance preparation for visits as facilities remain limited, and access to certain areas needs coordination with park management.

This national park protects the largest remaining old-growth mixed forest in the Northern Hemisphere and houses ten percent of wild Amur tigers.
