Located in Yichun—the "Forest Capital" of Heilongjiang Province—the Yichun Museum is a cultural sanctuary where the forest heritage of northern China intertwines with the folk traditions of the Evenki ethnic group. Centered on the theme "Forest Memory," the museum immerses visitors in lifelike scenes depicting Evenki shamanic rituals, reindeer totem worship, and hunting lifestyles, revealing the wisdom of this nomadic people in harmonious coexistence with nature.
A special exhibition titled "Monument of the Forest Sea" traces the evolution from primitive logging to modern ecological forestry. Rare artifacts such as a 1948 forest-region map and archival footage of mechanical logging illustrate Yichun’s transformation from resource exploitation to ecological restoration.
Key highlights include dynamic displays of traditional Evenki costumes, a hands-on area showcasing reindeer-hide crafting techniques, and the interactive installation "Forest Code," which uses light and projection technology to reveal the stories hidden within tree rings and wildlife.
