Qiqihar, Prefecture-level city in Heilongjiang, China

Located along the Nen River, Qiqihar extends across 42,205 square kilometers of land at an elevation of 147 meters in northeastern China.

The settlement transformed from a military stronghold established in 1691 into a significant administrative center after the completion of the Chinese Eastern Railway in 1903.

The population of 4 million residents includes thirty-four ethnic groups, with notable communities of Han Chinese, Manchu, Daur, and Mongol people sharing the urban space.

The railway network connects Qiqihar to major destinations while the local transportation system serves sixteen administrative districts and counties within the prefecture.

The Zhalong Nature Reserve near Qiqihar provides nesting grounds for red-crowned cranes, making the city a center for bird conservation in northeastern China.
