This climate is characterized by high variation in temperature, both daily and seasonally; with dry winters and cool summers.

[7] Around Lake Bolon on the plain are the summer feeding grounds for elk and deer; they migrate from the nearby mountain ridges for calving and rearing.

Over 200 species have been recorded, including the Far Eastern stork, Steller's sea eagle, and snipe-spoon-billed sandpiper.

It is possible for the public to arrange for guided tours on the eco-route "Avian Crossroads" during the migration periods - April 20 to May 15 in the spring, and September 15 to October 20 in the fall.

Applications must be made in advance with payment of fees; the route can be arranged for visit on foot or small boat.

Recently, the reserve has opened an ethnographic museum dedicated to the Nanai people in the village.
