It is recommended to wear thermal underwear, thick sweaters, long down jackets, and thick warm pants, paired with waterproof and non-slip snow boots. In addition, prepare scarves, gloves, hats, and hand warmers, and bring several pairs of thick socks. Mohe, every place is the end of the north. Promise me, you must come and see!

From Harbin to Mohe, as soon as you leave the station, you can immediately feel the severe cold of Mohe. If your skin is exposed to the air, it will start to sting after a while. Eyelashes and hair are constantly jumping between freezing and melting every day, "How can my eyes melt" I think I actually felt it. ❄️ The luckiest thing in Mohe is probably that as soon as you leave the station, you meet a reliable driver. When my friend was making the travel plan, he found that the prices for chartered car tours found online were quite expensive, and with so many advertisements, it was hard to choose. So, we decided to just go with the flow and headed straight to Mohe. As we exited the Mohe train station, there were many drivers outside. One driver came up to ask us, and since we were two people, the driver found two more people and had us form a group on the spot, and so our Mohe journey began. The driver first took us to the Reindeer Park, where we clanged around in the hall getting equipped, making sure we were dressed to withstand the extreme cold of Mohe. ❄️ The first day's itinerary: Reindeer Park ➩ Birch Forest ➩ China's Northernmost Point ➩ Longjiang First Bay The Reindeer Park, China's Northernmost Point, and Longjiang First Bay all require tickets to enter. The attractions are quite far apart from each other, and it gets dark early in Mohe, so we didn't linger long at each spot, just took some photos and left. ❄️ We returned to Beiji Village at the end of the day, and we all stayed in Beiji Village that night. There is also a fee to enter Beiji Village. The next day, the driver arranged for us to experience throwing water into ice, and then we played around in Beiji Village. There are two options for sightseeing: the first is to walk to each attraction on your own, and the second is to take a horse-drawn sled. The sled takes you to the attractions and waits nearby until you finish visiting, then pulls you to the next spot, covering a total distance of about 5 kilometers. Choose based on personal preference. ❄️ Then, the driver took us along the road to check in at the northernmost post office, Heilongjiang River, and the northernmost sentry post, and finally, we returned to the Mohe city area, ending our two-day group tour, only needing to pay the driver for the carpooling fee. ❄️ The two-day carpooling experience was excellent, with friendly and easy-going companions, and the driver, a local from Mohe, didn't try to sell us anything. Instead, he always chattered on, taking the trouble to explain things to us, and whenever he found a place he thought was worth checking in, he would stop the car and let us get out to take photos. The other two companions hadn't booked a hotel in the Mohe city area, and the driver was able to make a phone call based on their sightseeing needs and arrange accommodation for them close to the Mohe dance hall, which they said was clean and very cheap. ❄️ In the Mohe city area, we were free to explore, walking along the streets of Mohe, admiring the macaron-colored buildings, and going to the North Star Square to see the panoramic view of Mohe. In the evening, we went to the Mohe dance hall to dance with the uncles and aunties, and even boldly requested and sang songs. Each person can request one song for free every day. Overall, Mohe feels like a lonely yet romantic city to me, and I think I will miss it a lot.

Located on the border of Heilongjiang, the northernmost point of China is a must-visit spot for tourists in Mohe. On the one hand, you can appreciate the scenery of the Sino-Russian border area, and on the other hand, you can carry out patriotic education. The scenery near the northernmost point of China is simple and rustic. The two guards at the northernmost outpost are sacred and solemn. Combined with the winter snow scene, there is a sense of everything being awe-inspiring. Suddenly I have a question, why didn't I see people on the opposite side of the border? Don't Russians travel? As a result, I found out that the opposite side of the border is a primitive forest that stretches for 200-300 kilometers, and it's a bit difficult to walk through.

Winter is coming❄️, Mohe is almost all over the internet📱, so we also set off for Mohe🛤️~~~ . 🚗Travel mode A train k7041 heading to Mohe Snow Country, 🔔 departs on time from Harbin Station, and arrives in ⏰17 hours.

Outside the train window🪟 are all birch trees, covered with layers of white snow☃️, the endless snow sea is fascinating. . ⏰Recommended snow viewing time Mid-November to early December, there will be snow, but not much.

Route: Outpost Deer Park → Birch Forest → Dragon River First Bay → North Red Village → Arctic Village → Northernmost Post Office → Sister-in-law's Iron Pot Stew Tickets: Outpost Deer Park: 30 Dragon River First Bay: 50+60 Arctic Village: 68 Today we hired a driver for the day to finish touring Mohe. The driver picked us up at seven and took us to breakfast, everyone paid for their own. After breakfast, he took us to Outpost Deer Park to see the reindeer. We were the earliest batch and there weren't many people. After that, we went to Birch Forest to take photos and check in. At this time, the sun had just risen. Then we went to Dragon River First Bay, where we had to buy tickets and a bus ticket for the scenic area. The ticket was fifty and the bus was sixty. We could check in at the northernmost boundary monument of China. After climbing the steps, we could see Dragon River First Bay. Russia was just across the river. We could see it but couldn't go there. After that, we went to North Red Village. There wasn't much to do in the village, but since we were there, we checked in. We didn't go to Christmas Village, but went straight to Arctic Village. There was a stretch of music road on the way, which was really great. The song played was 'Me and My Motherland'. After buying the tickets, we swiped our ID cards to enter, and then we started to find the north. After taking photos and checking in, we went to the northernmost post office to send letters. It would take about a month to arrive. Then we returned to Mohe County to eat iron pot stewed goose, ending the day's journey!

Here is the northernmost point of our country, 53°33'43'' north latitude. I remember that there was a standing stone monument with the words: Congratulations, find the North! Now this stone has been replaced and become the northernmost point in China. The rich river valley downstream of this beautiful river is his nomadic place. He also built a city on the wide ridge of the north bank of Heilongjiang: Albajin, so far the Russians still follow their names. That is the name Jacques that we are familiar with. However, in the winter, it became a fairy tale world wrapped in silver, and the branches of the distant hills were covered with a thick layer of snow. When you walked on the already frozen Amur River, the thick snow made a "squeaky" sound, and turned and looked, leaving only a few footprints.
