Hezhe People in North China

As a Chinese, some small and mysterious ethnic groups is unknown to me, let alone foreign tourists. In my opinion, many foreign tourists are interested in the minority culture and customs and costumes if they have a China travel. Changganhu People is small minority group which I have never heard of.

An ancient and hard-working ethnic group, the Hezhe ethnic minority is a small member in the 56 ethnic groups of the Peoples Republic of China. They mainly live on the border between China and Russia.

The Hezhe people are the only ones who live on fishing and driving a sledge with dogs in northern China. The fishing industry is the main source of livelihood for most Hezhes. Old and young, male and female, they are all good at fishing. They have gained superb skills and knowledge in fishing through time-tested experience.

Hunting is another source of income for the Hezhes. Nowadays, they are also engaged in agriculture and aquatic-breeding.
Hezhe is in the northmost China. You may heard of Shangri-la which locates at the south. Shangri-la tour will provide you different experience unlike
