Hulan, former town, southwestern Heilongjiang sheng (province), China. In 2004 it was incorporated into the nearby city of Harbin, becoming a district of that city. Hulan was one of the first places in Heilongjiang opened by the Qing dynasty to Han Chinese colonization, in 1865. The district has a variety of small industrial enterprises engaged in precision engineering, such as tool and instrument manufacture, as well as cement, flax-milling, and pharmaceutical industries. Many of these enterprises are closely linked with industries in central Harbin.
