Sanhe Township

三河回族乡(三河马故乡)

A multi-ethnic township on the Ergun River, home of the Sanhe horse, where Russian-style log houses meet open grassland pastures.

Sanhe Hui Ethnic Township lies in the north of Ergun city. It takes its name from three rivers within its territory: the Genhe, Derbur and Haur rivers. The township is the breeding place of the Sanhe horse, one of China's three famous horse breeds. Hui, Russian, Han and other ethnic groups live here, preserving Russian-style carved-log houses and food traditions such as lieba and dairy products. The surrounding grassland pastures are wide, and in summer you can watch horse herds and horse races. It is about 30 minutes' drive from Labudalin and makes a good stop on the way to Shiwei.
