Jixi has long been recognised as one of China’s important coal-mining bases. On the Muling River in southeastern Heilongjiang Province, it is around 30 kilometres from Russia’s Primorsky Krai and 120 kilometres from Lake Xingkai. The city’s name has even travelled into space, given to a crater on asteroid 253 Mathilde.
