Who is not willing to see the most beautiful scenery in the most beautiful years, leaving the most beautiful posture, imprinting the most beautiful time... This is the northernmost part of China, the most beautiful town of Arctic Village in Daxinganling, across from Heilongjiang is Russia. The northeast style of Swiss scenery, the Eastern style of pastoral aesthetics, the Nordic aristocratic tone perfectly blends. Try to splicing how much, because one is not willing to miss. Thank you for taking such a beautiful trip to the ice god, and the Simplee vacation women who provided me with a beautiful dress.

Located at the foot of Qixing Mountain on the northern slopes of the Greater Khingan Range, Beiji Village is the best place in China to observe the Aurora Borealis. It is also the northernmost town in China, facing Russia across the river. Known as 'Beiji Village' and 'The City that Never Sleeps,' it is one of China's unique geographical landmarks. Address: Heilongjiang Province, Daxing'anling Region, Mohe City, Mohe Township, Beiji Village Tourism Scenic Area Public Transportation: You can take a bus directly to Beiji Village Ticket Purchase: Tickets can be purchased on-site with an ID card, 68 RMB per person Opening Hours: Open all day, 00:00-24:00 Must-Visit Attractions: Participate in the 'Finding North' game, explore the northernmost house, hospital, shop, sentry post, etc., and you can also send postcards to all over the country Additionally, there are attractions worth seeing such as the China North Pole, No. 138 Sino-Russian Border Marker, Shenzhou Beiji, Beiji Village Monument, and a suspension bridge.

Beiji Village is famous for the Aurora Borealis and the midnight sun phenomenon, offering the only chance to observe the Aurora Borealis, although the chances are slim. Visits are generally chosen in winter or summer, with the time around the summer solstice being the best to appreciate the Aurora Borealis. In winter, it is necessary to change to snow tires, prepare antifreeze, anti-skid chains, shovels, etc. The temperature in Mohe often falls between -30℃ and -40℃ in winter, so additional clothing is required, along with cold medicine, frostbite cream, chilblain cream, etc., especially pay attention to cold protection and warmth. Additionally, electronic devices such as mobile phones and cameras should also be kept warm to avoid battery drain due to the cold.

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.

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 🌟

Where is the northernmost part of the Arctic Village? Antarctica! Just past the northernmost house in China, you'll find Antarctica. What is Antarctica? You can think of it as a village-level leisure park within the Arctic Village. Experiencing Antarctica for the first time, you might see activities like dog sledding, but such activities are also available in Beihong Village and many other places. Whether you want to experience them is up to you. In winter, Antarctica is a frozen landscape everywhere. How thick is the ice? Refer to the photo, probably more than 1 meter. The first scenic spot in Antarctica should be the 'Shenzhou North Pole' monument, with two snow dragons beside it, which are quite majestic and imposing. Not to mention anything else, just the aura alone will make your heart surge and compel you to stop and take a closer look. Stepping onto the ice surface of the Heilongjiang River, the scenery is similar to many other river surfaces, with endless white expanses and pristine forests. The only difference here is the addition of the word 'North'. Of course, thanks to the excellent air quality, it's easy to take good photos. The blue of the sky that day was truly blue, a touching shade of blue. The blue sky and white clouds also look very imposing, giving a sense of vastness and openness. 📝Note tips: - Do not cross the border, I repeat, do not cross the border, do not make a big mistake out of curiosity. - Pay attention to maintaining environmental hygiene, trash bins are not everywhere, bring a bag to collect your personal trash. - Do not carve randomly, we should reflect the quality of us tourists, but writing 'I was here' in the snow is an exception, haha😃.
