Hailin

Hailin is a county-level city, part of Mudanjiang prefecture-level city, Heilongjiang province, northeast China. Ethnic groups include the majority Han Chinese as well as significant numbers of Manchu and ethnic Koreans. Literally, the name Hailin in English means "sea forest", but a better interpretation seems to be "boundless forest". In this sense, Hailin shares a name with the "boundless" Linhai Snowfield. Hailin is today known by several descriptive names - "forest sea and snow plain", "hometown of Manchurian tigers", and "hometown of Chinese north medicine". However, in the past many knew Hailin from the story of people's revolutionary hero Yang Zi Rong, the real life hero Zhang Zonggui.

Tourist activities include skiing. Other attractions include two national forest parks (Roaring Tiger Mountain and China Snowland), the largest artificial lake in northeast China (the Lotus Lake), and the largest animal raising center in China, if not the world (the Hengdaohezi Tiger Center). Hengdaohezi Tiger Park is claimed to be the largest breeding center for Siberian tigers in the country.
