Brief Introduction to Heilongjiang Geographical condition Heilongjiang Province is located in the most northeastern part of China.

Fish skin arts were recorded by words at least 2500 years of history, which could date back to Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Fish skin art has distinct regionalism and national character. Its production, material, and technology are unique. It is too unique to imitate and copy.
