Where does the Great Northern Wilderness refer to?

The Great Northern Wilderness used to refer to the vast barren areas in Sanjiang Plain, Heilongjiang Plain and Nenjiang River Basin in northern Heilongjiang Province, China.

China carried out large-scale reclamation and farm management in the 1950s, which made the Great Northern Wilderness become the current Great Northern Warehouse. The Great Northern Wilderness has the reputation of "squeezing black soil to blossom, and chopsticks will sprout when put in". "There is a South-to-North Water Diversion Project in the south and Sanjiang Irrigation Area in the north," said a farmer in Sanjiang Plain, Heilongjiang Province.
