Evenk Ethnic Sum

The Evenk Ethnic Sum spans 6,037 square kilometers in northeastern Old Barag Banner, featuring eight settlements called gacchas at 660 meters elevation.

The administrative structure of the Evenk Ethnic Sum emerged from modifications to local governance systems established during the Qing Dynasty and reformed in the 1980s.

The Evenk people maintain their traditions through seasonal celebrations, with more than half of the 2,665 residents identifying as ethnic Evenks.

The district operates under China Standard Time UTC+8 and uses the postal code 021512, connecting to major urban centers through the regional highway network.

This administrative division stands as the sole ethnic sum in China, designed specifically to preserve and support the Evenk minority population.
