Daqing, Prefecture-level city in Heilongjiang, China
The urban center extends across 5,105 square kilometers within the Songnen Basin, containing five districts and four counties at 149 meters above sea level.
The discovery of oil reserves in 1959 transformed this former hunting ground into a significant industrial center, leading to its establishment as a city.
The petroleum industry shaped the local identity, with Wang Jinxi becoming a national figure through his work at the Daqing oil fields.
The city maintains 1,400 health institutions, seven tertiary hospitals, and a complete network of educational facilities serving 2.78 million residents.
The region contains the largest urban marsh in Asia, spanning 147,067 hectares of wetlands with natural lakes and springs.
