Beihong Village

Upon arriving in Harbin, naturally, one must visit Mohe. In mid-March, catch the last bit of snow, with the weather forecast predicting temperatures between -20 and 0 degrees Celsius. It still feels very cold in the morning and evening, so gloves and hats are necessary, and the wind can be painfully cold. Itinerary 🌟 Longjiang First Bay Scenic Area (admission 50 + sightseeing car 60) It takes about 2 hours to reach the scenic area from Mohe Station, which is a combination of a forest park and the Heilongjiang river beach. The sightseeing car first goes to the northernmost point of China for a photo op, then continues on to the Wusuli Shoal where you disembark. Climb over a thousand steps on a wooden walkway to reach the viewing platform, then take the sightseeing car back to the entrance of the scenic area. Climbing the wooden walkway is quite strenuous. 🌟 Beihong Village It only takes half an hour to get from the First Bay to Beihong Village, and these two places are usually arranged on the same day. The village is very small with one main road and other than that, large fields scattered with some residential houses. The villagers mostly live in their own homes which also serve as guesthouses; the conditions are average. During this trip, we played with ice splashing and horse-drawn sleds; the horses belong to the guesthouse owners. We also ate there, and it must be even more beautiful when it snows heavily. Walking in the fields or along the river is very peaceful and comfortable. 🌟 Nvjiawan (Birch Forest) On the way from Beihong Village to the Arctic Village, there is a birch forest. Walking into it, a small path leads to an environmental platform and a hillside. The combination of birch forest and snow is truly stunning! It's very suitable for taking photos and playing. 🌟 Arctic Village (admission 68) The most comprehensive scenic area in Mohe, an hour away from the county town. Inside, there are walking wooden paths, parks, and squares with ice sculptures and various 'north' characters, as well as landmarks like the 'I found the north' stone monument; China's northernmost post office/bank/***; the first sentry post of China's northern border. There are also various specialty restaurants, but in my opinion, the taste and price can't compare with Harbin. If you're going to Harbin, I suggest having a simple meal here. I had a spicy hot pot from Sister Hua which was not bad, but many shops are closed during the off-season. 🌟 Ewenki Reindeer Tribe The tour fee included the admission ticket, and I couldn't find the online ticket price. There are dozens of reindeer inside, and they prefer carrots (10 yuan)! Some of the reindeer are very lively and will chase you for food, and I had a lot of fun here. 🌟 Mohe County Town The North Star Square is very small, just a marker and stairs. Songyuan Park in the city is a forest that is said to be the only area left from a past fire. Mohe Dance Hall is particularly small with an admission of 20. The Fire Memorial is not open in winter, so I didn't see it. There's not much to do in the county town; it has the dilapidation of a city area and the dullness of a city, haha. Overall, the three-day itinerary is very fulfilling! Walking through the birch forest and fields in the heavy snow in Mohe is an unforgettable experience, and it's definitely worth a visit 🌟

Beihong Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with the Heilongjiang River running through the village. Due to historical reasons, most of the villagers are of Russian ethnicity. Beihong Village is not large, and its popularity is not as high as the Arctic Village, but it is worth a visit. Take a walk along the Binjiang Park, the river surface in winter becomes a good place for snow activities, where you can ride snowmobiles, play bumper cars with tires, and even freeze water. Along the river, rows of wooden houses come into view. The eaves are covered with thick snow, as if they have been painted white, and the chimneys are emitting wisps of cooking smoke. The windows under the eaves are covered with a thin film for wind protection and warmth. Wooden fences outline the shape of the yard, some yards are used for parking, some yards are stacked with hay, and some yards have snow shoveling tools. The streets are clean and tidy, occasionally a car drives by, occasionally a few horses run by, and after a brief hustle and bustle, there is a long silence. There is the northernmost outpost here, and you can also climb the northernmost viewing platform to overlook the village. If you have time, you can stay for a night and experience the large kang of the Northeast.

Beihong Village in the extreme cold zone of minus 30 degrees is actually not cold. Enthusiastic villagers, steaming chickens stewed mushrooms, sitting in a horse-drawn carriage through a Russian-style town, the village under the moonlight slowly calmed down. In the evening, basically no one will be outside, and it will be dark at about 5 o'clock in the morning. If you drive by car, you will arrive in the afternoon. The village will be very small and will soon be strolled. Then you will find a farmers meal and you will be happy. . It is recommended to send a postcard from the north in a Russian-style post office.

[Beihong Village] is located at the northernmost part of the Mohe River in Heilongjiang Province and is the northernmost village in China. Everything here is still very original, an undeveloped small village, very tasteful. Wake up in the morning, I wandered around the village in a pleasant circle. The signs all the way are the northernmost, the northernmost supermarket, the most north primary school, the most northern station... very interesting. There are no noisy sounds like cars, but instead of cocks and shit. Without the pollution of automobile exhaust, it is replaced by the most rustic and rustic. Its especially comfortable to watch the smoke of the cooks. This kind of pure simplicity is exactly what I yearn for, simple and small.

Beihong Village - the true northernmost village in the geographical position, is the original village in China that has not been developed in the north. I heard that it was only five years since it was powered on. It was a short wooden house on the road and occasionally walked through several horse-drawn sleighs. The infrastructure has been a little better these years and the number of tourists has increased. Eat food in Beihong Village, and eat about seven or eighty per person. If you want to save money, you can buy some food in the local supermarket, the price is similar to Mohe County.
