Wanda Mountains
Mountains Mountain range in Heilongjiang with forested ridges
The Wanda Mountains are a mountain range in Heilongjiang province in northeast China. They form part of the upland terrain of the region and are one of several ranges in the northeastern provinces.

The mountains developed over geological time as part of the broader orogenic and erosional history of northeast China. They have been used historically for local settlement, forestry, and agriculture rather than as a single monumental site.
Geographically the Wanda Mountains sit within Heilongjiang province in northeastern China. The range lies inland from the Russian border and is part of the broader landscape of hills and river basins in this section of the province.
