Heilongjiang First Bay Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
The autumn beauty of Longjiang Bay is picturesque
The autumn here in Longjiang Bay is so beautiful, the leaves have started to turn yellow and take on color. Although it's a bit cool here, it's not the chilly autumn atmosphere. The river water has become very calm, and the blue waters gently flow through the small bay. Even though we need to wear thicker cotton clothes in the morning and evening, it's still very pleasant at noon. This is the autumn scenery of Longjiang Bay, which won't last long, so if you want to appreciate the beauty here, hurry up and come.
Mohe three-day two-night trip
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 🌟

Mohe Travel Guide
Mohe | The northernmost point of China! The only place where you can see the aurora |||🌈 Mohe is the northernmost point of China, located at the northernmost end of Heilongjiang Province, and is the county with the highest latitude in China.
💡There are three ways to travel to Mohe:
Train, plane, and self-driving, I personally recommend the train (cost-effective). Buy tickets to Mohe at Harbin Railway Station, it's quite convenient, sleep for one night and you'll arrive, there is a train K7040 to Mohe from Harbin every day, the whole journey is 18 hours, the beautiful scenery on the road will not disappoint you!
It usually takes three days to visit Mohe, but with the two days of travel time back and forth from Harbin to Mohe, it takes five days.
About accommodation: two nights on the train hard sleeper, one night in the Arctic Village, one night in the North Red Village, all are farmhouse kang.
✅Mohe five-day itinerary:
Day1: Departure place-Harbin-Mohe (stay on the train hard sleeper);
Day2: Mohe-Longjiang First Bay-Ussuri Shallow Beach (160KM, about 3 hours by car)-North Red Village (60KM, about 1.5 hours by car) (Check in);

✨Can you see the aurora in Mohe?
Many people come to Mohe hoping to see the aurora, but the aurora is unpredictable and depends on luck, even the locals rarely see it.
💞The best season to come to Mohe
There are two seasons each year that are the most suitable, one is June and July, at this time not only there is the annual summer solstice festival, if you are lucky, you can also see the aurora~
The other is December and January, at this time coming to Mohe not only can enjoy the snow, but also ski, watch mink show, experience horse pulling plow, etc., and may also see the aurora. The winter in Mohe can last up to 8 months (January-May, October-December).
Beihong Village | A border town full of Russian style
| A border town full of Russian style. Geographically, Beihong Village is further north than the Arctic Village, making it the true northernmost village. 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. Here, food and accommodation are in the same house, and three meals are eaten directly in the homestay, tasting authentic farmhouse joy.

Mohe County Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
March Journey to Mohe | Heading North, Mohe at Its Finest
Here are some insights from this trip:
1. First, the temperature. As someone from the south where the lowest temperature is around minus three or four degrees, I had never experienced minus twenty or thirty degrees. So, I equipped myself well before going. During my time in Mohe, the temperature was basically between -10 and -30 degrees, but honestly, I didn't feel cold at all... Whatever I wore in Shanghai at zero degrees was enough here too... However, it's important to keep your hands and head protected. I highly recommend the insole warmers for your shoes and those hats that cover your entire head and face. That should do it...
2. When I went in March, there were very few people, probably because it was the off-season. It was very comfortable. Winter was just as it should be, with no one around, making it great for taking photos.
3. I took the snow country train in a soft sleeper, and the dozen or so hours passed quickly. The scenery along the way was great, a very nice experience. I saw mixed reviews online before I took it, but after trying it out, I would definitely recommend it, especially for those who haven't traveled much on green trains... There's no catering on the train, so remember to bring enough snacks and prepare a super large power bank...
4. Aurora, the locals say it's extremely difficult, don't get your hopes up... The aurora in Mohe is something you might encounter but can't seek out. But the stars are particularly beautiful, the sky full of stars coupled with the snowy scenery is absolutely stunning!
5. There's not much public transportation in Mohe, you basically have to rely on tours or chartering a vehicle.
Mohe in winter is a great place to enjoy and play in the snow, satisfying all your desires for a snow journey
❄ It's time for the annual snow appreciation and play, this winter, make a date with your sisters to go to Mohe in the northeast.
Experiencing the COLDEST part of China
Mohe is the coldest city in Daxing’anling prefecture Heilongjiang China. Take either a flight or train from Harbin to reach here. This place is very near to Russia's Amur Oblast and Zabaykalsky Krai with extreme cold weathers during winter, in fact summer only last from June to August. Visited this place during winter and is average -32 deg celcius daily and full of Christmas vibes, hotpot is definitely the best food to pair with the cold weather. Do visit the Most Northern Village of China 北極村 , Santa Village 聖誕老人村,and Song Yuan Nature 松苑 for the most authentic experience of Mohe. This location can also be an cheaper alternative visit than to South and North Pole. If you are lucky enough, will also get a slim chance to be able to catch northern lights too.

When is the best time to travel to Mohe?
Spring: In May, Mohe is warm and full of flowers, with azaleas all over the mountains. Here you can see a magical scene of time reversal. The spring in Mohe has the character of the mountains, both the beauty of the northern girl and the roughness of the northern boy. This is the spring in Mohe.
Summer: From June to August, Mohe is the only place in China where you can see the magical aurora. It is the northernmost county in China, which makes Mohe full of mystery. And as the northernmost point on the map of China, it gives this place a must-visit significance.

Nine bends and eighteen bends: the northernmost wetland of the Daxinganling forest
Nine bends and eighteen bends, the feeling of overlooking can make your eyes suddenly open. The winding and rugged nine bends of the river, like a graceful girl dancing. The breeze brushed across the face, the bright sunshine hit the body, opened his arms to embrace the unique scenery of Mohe, very comfortable and comfortable.
The first bay of the Longjiang River: Looking for the northernmost point of China
Jinhuan Island, also known as the first bay of the Longjiang River, is located in the strongest territory at the northernmost point of China. Known as one of the nine most beautiful bays in China, the first bay of the Longjiang River, its natural landscape is not only magnificent, it can be described as a miracle of nature, a wonder of the world. The river water bypasses the beautiful island to form a semi-circular golden beach. When the sun shines on this small island, it sparkles and is really beautiful.
North Pole Village: Quiet Frontier
The North Pole Village is the northernmost town in our country, and it is the only place in the country where you can watch the aurora and the polar day and night phenomenon, so it is also known as the 'Shenzhou North Pole' and 'City of No Night', and it is separated from the Ignasino Village in Russia by a river. The most interesting thing here is all kinds of 'finding the north', and any place in the North Pole Village can be said to be the northernmost in China, the northernmost post office, the northernmost family, the northernmost school, the northernmost post, etc., very meaningful
You can see the train from the winding paths here!
The Nine Curves and Eighteen Bends National Wetland Park is mainly composed of a five-story viewing platform and natural scenery, which includes rivers, marshes, beaches, forests, etc.
This attraction is less visited, generally tour groups do not come here, but I think no matter what the scenery, you have to see it for yourself to know, so come and see.
Because I brought a drone, I don't plan to pay to go up the viewing platform. As the drone rises, the scenery originally blocked by the trees is presented one by one. The graceful Ermur River and the lush forest dance gracefully, leaving winding steps on the vast land. The 'steps' step on the snow and leisurely head towards the distance.
How can such a beautiful stage lack lighting. The sun turns into a spotlight, sprinkling the soft warm light on the earth, and the forest is immediately covered with a warm orange layer. After a while, the train came to play music, and the rumbling sound added a sense of power to this performance. As the sound of the train fades away and the sun sets, the performance also comes to an end.
Although the viewing area is not large and the tickets are slightly expensive, it is a memorable experience to see this performance.

Bayanbulak / Nine bends and eighteen turns, the fairy's ribbon
🌱 Bayanbulak Grassland, the second largest grassland after the Hulunbuir Grassland in Inner Mongolia. "Bayanbulak" in Mongolian means: "Rich spring water". ⛲
🖼️ There is indeed a long spring water on the grassland, winding and inlaid on the grassland, like a fairy's ribbon 🗾. It attracts many photographers to take moving pictures here. When I went there, it was midsummer, the grass was still green, and these days the grass must be golden 🌅. Every season and every kind of weather, there are different beautiful scenery here.
Jiuqu 18wanwan Wetland Park, for those who have not seen it, think that it is just a meandering river. If you can see it with your own eyes, you will praise its curvaceous beauty.
