At China's northernmost point, embark on a romantic rendezvous with ice, snow, and the aurora borealis

While autumn still lingers in the southern regions, the snow in Mohe has already sculpted the land into a silver-white fairy tale world. This is China’s "Arctic," boasting the ultimate winter scenery, the simple charm of the Ewenki culture, and the enchanting allure of the northern lights. Stepping into Mohe feels like entering a frozen secret realm where time slows down. The forests of Mohe are the most captivating winter poetry. In the birch woods, the white trunks stretch straight toward the blue sky, snow resting on the branches like fluffy silver crowns. Walking through, the snow crunches beneath your feet, sunlight filters through the branches casting mottled shadows on the snow, and every snapshot looks like a Nordic masterpiece. If you prefer a deeper green, the Pinus sylvestris forests offer a different kind of awe. Snowflakes weigh down the pine needles, yet the branches remain upright. Occasionally, a breeze shakes loose the snow, as if the forest is gently breathing. Standing among the trees, watching snowflakes dance before your eyes, time seems to stand still. As the Sino-Russian border river, the Heilongjiang (Amur River) completes its transformation from "rushing" to "frozen" in winter. Thick ice forms on the river’s surface, distant mountains are blanketed in snow, creating a minimalist ink painting against the blue sky. Standing by the stone railing on the riverbank, gazing at the frozen river stretching into the distance, you can almost feel the tranquility and vastness of the border between the two countries. If you’re lucky enough, you might witness the spectacular rime ice on the river, with jade-like trees and branches resembling a fairyland. At Mohe’s reindeer park, you can encounter the gentle "forest spirits." The Ewenki people have lived alongside reindeer for generations. These creatures, adorned with magnificent antlers, have fluffy fur and lively eyes. You can feed them moss by hand and watch them nuzzle close; you can gently stroke their antlers, feeling the harmonious connection between humans and animals in this icy world. Every interaction is a dialogue of trust and warmth. Visiting Mohe, "finding north" is an essential ritual. When you see the red stone monument engraved with "I found the north," you have truly reached China’s northernmost tip. Here, you can check in at the "Northernmost Post Office" and send a postcard to your distant self, experience the dedication of border guards at the "Northernmost Outpost," and proudly mark on the map: "I have been to the end of China." This quest for the "ultimate coordinate" adds a unique commemorative meaning to your journey. The beauty of Mohe lies in the purity of ice and snow, the tranquility of the forest, the vitality of living beings, and the surprise of "finding north." It is like a three-dimensional winter fairy tale book, with every page filled with the romance and grandeur of the northern land. If you yearn for an escape into a snowy adventure and wish to make a wish under the aurora, Mohe, this northernmost small town in China, will surely offer you a once-in-a-lifetime polar rendezvous.
