The Greater Khingan Range (Chinese Simplified: 大兴安岭 Traditional: 大興安嶺), also called the '''Greater Hing'an Range''' or '''Greater Hinggan Range''', is a volcanic mountain range in Inner Mongolia , northeastern China. The range extends roughly 1,200 km from north to south, narrowing towards the south. It divides the plains of northeastern China to the east from the Mongolian Plateau to the west. The area has an elevation of 1,200 to 1,300 metres, with the highest peak at 2,035 metres. The range is densely forested. As an eco-region it is noted for its Daurian flora, transient between Siberian and Manchurian floras. |
