Wudalianchi Lakes are a series of five lakes formed between 1719 and 1721 when volcanic eruption shaped one section of a tributary of the Amur into five interconnected lakes. The second lake in particular is renowned for its irregular geological sights. [[Lake Jingbo]], in [[Ning'an]] County, is a section of the [[Mudan River]] that has been narrowed and shaped by volcanic eruption into a series of sights, including the [[Diaoshuilou Falls]].

The province has a [[zoo]]logical park called "[[Harbin Siberian Tiger Park]]".<ref name="DK2014">{{cite book |author=DK |title=DK Eyewitness Travel Guide: China |publisher=[[Penguin Books]] |page=457 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=B7mQAwAAQBAJ |date=2014-06-02 |isbn=978-1465430939}}</ref>
