Songyuan Primeval Forest Park
松苑公园
A stand of natural Mongolian pine in the center of Mohe city, which survived the 1987 fire. It is within walking distance and free to enter.
Songyuan Primeval Forest Park lies in the center of Mohe city, a patch of natural Mongolian pine forest preserved within the urban area. The May 6, 1987 fire nearly burned the entire city, yet this pine forest miraculously survived, and it is regarded as one of Mohe's symbols. The park has wooden boardwalks and trails, and squirrels are often seen among the tall Mongolian pines and white birches. It is cool in summer, and the snow-covered pines are especially beautiful in winter. The park is not far from North Star Square and the Fire Memorial Museum, making it a good place for an evening stroll on the day of arrival. Admission is free.
