Scope

What the province total covers

Heilongjiang borders Russia and spans the Songnen and Sanjiang plains, the Greater and Lesser Khingan ranges and a large agricultural territory. Province totals are not Harbin metro figures.

Boundary

Province is not a metro area

Resident population is the year-end province-wide total: 30.29 million in 2024. Administrative area (470,700 sq km) is territory inside the provincial-level boundary, not built-up area.

Economy

How to read the structure

In 2024, Heilongjiang's GDP reached 1.65 trillion yuan and real GDP grew 3.2 percent. 2024 industry structure: primary 19.4%, secondary 25.2%, tertiary 55.4%.

International scale check

Compared with New Zealand

Selected for similar economic scale: New Zealand.

Not a like-for-like rank

New Zealand's nominal GDP (~US$0.26T, World Bank 2024) is close to Heilongjiang's provincial-level GDP after indicative USD conversion (~US$0.24T).

Heilongjiang is China’s northernmost province with major grain production, forests, petroleum and border trade; New Zealand is a sovereign country. GDP proximity is a scale reference only. Population, area, administrative status and economic structure are not directly comparable.
