The Bolshekhekhtsirsky Reserve (Khabarovsk Territory, Russia) stretched along the Great Khekhtsir ridge, which is only a few dozen kilometers far from Khabarovsk, in its suburban area, so it is not difficult to reach this beautiful place.
The Bolshekhtshirsky Reserve was founded in 1963 in order to preserve the surrounding natural resources and diverse wildlife. Many representatives of this wildlife are increasingly disappearing from the face of the earth. The area of the Bolshekhtshirsky Reserve is more than 45 thousand hectares, 12 thousand of which are under protection.The protected area is limited in the west by the Ussuri River, and by the Chirka River in the south and south-west. In the east and northeast, the border runs along the inhabited areas of the suburbs of Khabarovsk.

Various types of birch, maples, limes, elms, fir trees, bird cherry trees, Amur velvet, Manchurian walnut, Mongolian oak grow here side by side.
