Enhe Village, located in Enhe Russian Ethnic Township, Ergun City, Hulunbuir City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, is nestled deep in a primeval forest in the northern Greater Khingan Region, on the banks of the Haur River. It covers an area of approximately 1,500 mu (15 mu = 1 hectare). The permanent population is over 1,000. The village boasts well-preserved traditional houses known as "Mukelen" (Russian wooden huts).
In recent years, local authorities have been actively developing tourism and specialized industries, combining traditional Russian songs and dances with harvest celebrations. Tourists stay in wooden huts, learn to bake traditional Russian bread, and participate in festive events celebrating the bountiful harvest. Many artists and students come here to create and sketch, while local Russian residents play the accordion, perform traditional dances, and treat everyone to delicacies, sharing in the joy of the harvest.
Local Russian folk dances were included in the Intangible Cultural Heritage Register of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in 2007, and the traditional Basyke festival (similar to Easter) was included in the third group of the National Intangible Cultural Heritage List of China in 2011.
As one of the villages with the most fully preserved unique Russian culture, Enhe Village was included in the second group of the list of traditional Chinese villages in 2013.
