Heilongjiang now preserves two types of Great Wall of the Tang Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, namely the Great Wall of the Bohai Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty - the border wall of the Mudanjiang River, and the Great Wall of the Jin Dynasty - the site of the Jinjie Trench (Heilongjiang section). The border wall of Mudanjiang River is located in Aimin District and Ning'an City of Mudanjiang City, which is the northeasternmost Great Wall of the mainland, and is also the only military relic with the nature of the ancient Great Wall of the Bohai Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty discovered at present, and is a national key cultural relics protection unit; The Jinjie Trench Site (Heilongjiang Section) is located in Gannan County, Nianzi Mountain District of Qiqihar City, and Longjiang County, which is unique among the Great Wall heritages.
