Known for its striking natural beauty, Hengdaohezi provides habitats for a variety of wildlife species including the Siberian tiger, brown bear, and several rare bird species, making it an important conservation area. The park features a network of hiking trails winding through valleys, ridges, and along clear rivers, offering visitors immersive experiences in lush greenery and fresh mountain air. Historically, the area thrived as a strategic border forest and retains cultural significance for local ethnic groups. Accessibility has improved in recent years, attracting eco-tourists seeking well-preserved wilderness with opportunities for hiking, camping, birdwatching, and photography. Notable landmarks include the crystal-clear Hengdaohezi River, scenic lookout points over mountain ridges, and thick forest groves.
