Introducing Busuri District

The Busuli Tourist Area, nestled in the Greater Khingan Range of Inner Mongolia, is home to the largest military supply storage base in the three northeastern provinces. The "Busuli Military Fortress" once housed three regiments. All military supplies were transported via a dedicated railway line, leaving local residents unaware of the existence of such a complex of underground warehouses.

The Busuli Scenic Area is the largest military base in northern China, with the northernmost location, the coldest climate, the longest border, and the richest birch forest, and is known as the "Five Bests".

The scenic area is based on natural ecology and has a diverse culture background including the rich folk culture of the Oroqen people, one of China's three minority ethnic groups, and the profound military culture. It is a boutique tourist attraction that combines folk culture, health and wellness, and novelty.
