     The principal coal centers are Kisi, northeast of Mutankiang, and Hokang and Shwangyashan, in the Kiamusze area, all producing coal of coking quality. Hokang, the most important coal field, has 5 billion tons of Jurassic coal, part of which is accessible to strip-mining operations. Development of the Hokang basin began in 1936 with construction of a rail spur southward to the riverside coal terminal of Lienkiangkow on the Sungari River, opposite Kiamusze.]
