Complete Guide to Chasing the Aurora in Mohe: China’s Only Arctic Fairy Tale Scene Squatting in minus 40°C for a sea of pink-green light, I waited at the border line for the first aurora of 2025. Do you believe it? On the northernmost snowfield in China, I waited for three nights and finally saw that ghostly light. It rose from the horizon, like green silk swirling in the night sky, suddenly bursting into pink and purple ripples. At that moment, I knelt in the snow and cried. Not sentimental, but the instinctive trembling of a human facing the universe. 📍This is Mohe City, China At 53°N latitude, facing Russia across the river, the only place in China where you can see the aurora. From December to February each year, as long as the night is dark enough and the magnetic field is active enough, this silent snowfield will be illuminated by light from solar storms. This is not Finland, nor Iceland, this is our own edge of the Earth. 🌌Best time: mid-December to early February ✅ Longest nights around the winter solstice (17 hours of darkness = more chances to observe) ✅ High clear-sky rate, transparent air, almost zero light pollution ✅ Increased aurora activity, especially during solar activity peaks ⚠️ Tip: The aurora is unpredictable! It’s recommended to stay at least 3 nights to increase your chances. 🧣Must-read before you go｜Life-saving warmth guide -Four-layer dressing rule Thermal underwear + fleece + down vest + long, thick down coat (length past the knees) Three layers for pants: thermal leggings + wool pants + windproof ski pants Shoes must be high-top, non-slip snow boots (UGG style or mountaineering grade) with warm insoles Face mask + knit hat + waterproof gloves set, or your ears will freeze in minutes -Keep your phone and camera close! They will automatically shut down after 5 minutes in low temperatures 🗺️Four-day essential itinerary So off-the-beaten-path even GPS gets lost Day 1: Arrive in Mohe, check in at China’s northernmost village, eat your first frozen meal Fly to Harbin → transfer by train/bus to Mohe Station (even hard seats are worth it! Window views of endless snowy forests) 🏡 Stay at **Arctic Village wooden cabin guesthouses (recommended Aurora Home or Snowy Orion), with heating + private bathroom 📍Check in at: Northernmost Post Office: send a postcard to your future self Northernmost Outpost: watch PLA soldiers stand guard in the wind and snow Arctic Sandbar: take a photo with the China Arctic Point monument 🍽 Dinner: iron pot stewed river fish + sauerkraut pork + frozen pear platter My thought: The words “northernmost” are not just geographic coordinates, but a kind of lonely romance. Day 2: Deep into the Daxing’anling wilderness, snow trekking by day, aurora watching by night 🌲 Daytime: hike through pristine white birch forest, look for wild animal tracks (roe deer, fox, moose) 🐍 Afternoon: visit Oroqen hunter tents, listen to elders tell the “bear totem” legend 🌃 Night: drive to a light-pollution-free observation spot (guide takes you to secret locations) Set up a tent or sit in a heated snow cabin Use long exposure on your camera to capture aurora trails If luck is on your side, witness the green curtain suddenly explode into purple-red waves! When the aurora sounds, no one speaks, only shutter clicks and breaths echo. It’s like the universe sending us a secret code. Day 3: Longjiang First Bend + Ice Wedding Square｜Shoot a set of ultra-cold photos ☀ Daytime: Climb the lookout tower to overlook the S-shaped ice bay of the Heilongjiang River, like a silver dragon coiled Wear a red cloak to take photos at the ice wedding square, with the China-Russia border marker in the background Experience horse-drawn sledding, racing across the snowfield like the opening of Game of Thrones 🍷 Evening: gather around the stove, drink blueberry wine, listen to locals tell “aurora stories” In the 1980s, some elders said if they saw red cloth floating in the sky, a heavy snowstorm would come the next day—that was an aurora warning Day 4: Last strike before departure｜Make a wish at the Aurora Lighthouse 🕯 Book the aurora wishing ceremony in advance (only open in winter) Write your wish on a wooden lighthouse and hang it on the rope Light a pine torch and silently recite your wish to the starry sky The guide says: wishes made here are more likely to be heard by the stars. 💰Per person budget: 5200 RMB (cheaper if two travel together) Item Cost Round-trip transportation 1500 RMB 4 nights accommodation 800 RMB Meals 600 RMB Tickets + experiences 700 RMB Guide + aurora observation 600 RMB Souvenirs + emergencies 500 RMB Reserve fund 500 RMB ✅ With good control, you can keep it under 5000 RMB! 📸Photo tips: Camera settings: Manual mode, F2.8, ISO 1600, shutter 10-20 seconds Night mode on phones can also capture light bands Wear bright colors (red, yellow, white), very eye-catching in the snow 📌One last honest word: Many say the aurora is unpredictable, But I’d rather wait three nights in minus 40°C, Just for that one minute when my heart stops. Because when you see the universe’s light travel 200 million kilometers to your eyes, You’ll understand What’s worth pursuing in life is never the hustle and bustle, But those moments that suddenly make you quiet. 👉 Next stop, I’ll take you to Hulunbuir snowfield to ride horses chasing wolf tracks, But this time, I want to ask you first: How long has it been since you last looked up at a real starry sky?

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck This vast area is not far from Baijicun Village, or Arctic Village. Sangu offers Tibetan costume rentals and a wide selection of other costumes. You can also buy moss to feed the reindeer. To get here, you can charter a taxi from the village post office. The price depends on your agreement. We settled on a roundtrip fare of 30 yuan. The taxi driver will take you back, depending on your return time. When it's time to leave, we asked the park's owner to call a taxi driver to pick us up. If you're coming to the central area to see the reindeer, I highly recommend this place. They're so adorable and tame. #Harbin #Mohe #

#Harbin-Mohe-North Pole-Beihong-Heihe 20250728-20250808 Heilongjiang Province (Harbin, Mohe - North Pole Village - Longjiang First Bay - Beihong Village - Heihe) For me, the happiest times in life are when I can eat, drink, and have fun! Thank you, sister, for your support and care. In one trip, I took seven flights to the northernmost point and continued to eat. Hehehe! Visiting China's northernmost point would be most beautiful in winter, but I was worried the cold would overwhelm my body! I decided to go in summer! Surprisingly, I discovered that Heilongjiang in the summer is one of China's summer resorts! Highly recommended! If you have the chance, you should visit! Such simple people and places! I loved everything I saw (the people, the things, the places, the climate, the food). Due to my health, I can't travel by car, so I flew instead of driving around the city, so I took seven flights in one trip! I'm traveling independently. I can speak the language and understand text. I brought extra RMB for emergencies, and I also set up WeChat and WiFi. Once I've made time, I've bought my flight and first night's accommodation, and I'm ready to go. Everything else is up to you. I wish you all the best! Travel enriches life. Mmmm! Everyone is enjoying life! That's wonderful! Hehehe! That's right! The attached photos only show a portion of my 12-day trip. The food was delicious every day! It just didn't look great. Northeast China's scenery and architecture are all unique and beautiful. I think so many elite travelers have already thoroughly introduced them, so there's no need to elaborate on transportation, attractions, and hotel accommodations. Have a happy trip and return safely! Everything is wonderful! It's been 20 days since I returned from my trip, and my heart is still filled with joy! I wish I could share my peace and joy with you!

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck Mohe is a northern Chinese city bordering Russia in the northeast. When we visited in late October, temperatures dropped to around -30 degrees Celsius during the day. There were plenty of activities to do, including tubing and reindeer watching. There were also a Christmas village, a fish market, and hot spring activities. For those who want to experience sub-zero temperatures, this is the place to go. #TravelChina #Mohe #China #Mohe

Polaris Square, the northernmost square in China, is a magical destination after dark in Mohe City. Famous as the best spot to witness the mesmerizing Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) in winter, it transforms into a dreamy, starlit paradise even in summer. The square’s centerpiece—a towering sculpture of the Arctic Star—glows under artistic lighting, creating a surreal atmosphere against the vast night sky. In summer, though the Northern Lights are rare, the square remains enchanting. The crisp, cool air and the distant twinkling stars make it feel like standing at the edge of the world. Local vendors sell hot drinks and snacks, adding warmth to the experience. The surrounding Siberian-style architecture, illuminated softly, enhances the charm. However, the remote location means limited amenities, and summer nights can get chilly, so dressing warmly is essential. While winter remains the prime season for aurora sightings, Polaris Square at night is still a serene and otherworldly escape year-round. . #travel #harbin #summer

At the northernmost tip of China, Mohe weaves a fairytale of the world's end with its sharply defined ice and snow textures and gentle, romantic aurora illusions. This is the ice and snow kingdom at 53° north latitude, but it is also an ideal place in the hearts of countless people to "touch the ultimate." When the polar night falls, the starry sky is so dazzling in the pure air of minus 40℃ that it is almost extravagant. Lucky travelers can encounter the green silk-like aurora surging across the sky, as if the universe has knocked over the palette. In winter, the birch forest is wrapped in silver frost, and the reindeer make a "creaking" sound as they step on the snow. Follow the Ewenki hunters through the forest, and the fur on the sleigh and the deer milk wine by the campfire warm every inch of skin kissed by the cold. In summer, Mohe sheds its silver coat and welcomes the 24-hour midnight sun. The Heilongjiang River in the morning mist is like a blue ribbon. Ride along the border, watch the dandelions flying in the meadow, and lie on the kang of the wooden house in the evening, listening to the pine waves and the starry sky whispering outside the window. Time here has a unique scale—the fleeting moment of the aurora dancing, the long wait for the ice and snow to melt, and the ancient rhythm of the reindeer migration. When the neon lights of the city are replaced by the aurora, and when the traffic is transformed into the roar of snowmobiles, Mohe tells everyone who arrives with the ultimate cold and the ultimate warmth: The real distance is to let the soul meet itself again in pure nature.

Mohe is the northernmost county-level city in China, located in the Greater Khingan Range of Heilongjiang Province.

Far from city light pollution, the night sky is clear, suitable for long waits to see the aurora. 2. **Beihong Village**: - Beihong Village is the northernmost primitive village in China, located further north than Arctic Village, with less light pollution, making it an ideal location for aurora viewing. ### Travel Suggestions: - **Best Viewing Time**: Winter (November to March), especially around the winter solstice. - **Precautions**: - The winter temperature in Mohe is extremely low, usually -30°C or even lower.

#tripflyingtoprayfornewyear Temperature Square and Border Barrier of China-Russia, Mohe 📍Address: Arctic Village, Beijichun Forest Park, Mohe City, Daqing'anling, Heilongjiang Province, China 💞Reason for recommendation: It is the northernmost city and is located in the northeast or northeast of China. It is bordered by Russia by the Amur River. The Russian side is a mountain range. It is quiet here, suitable for relaxation. In winter, the river turns into ice covered with snow. You can walk down to play. But in the middle, there is a clear border.

I am so lucky that I saw the Aurora on the first day of 2025. Sisters who want to go to Mohe to see the Aurora, what are you waiting for? It is so lucky! It is so worth it!! [Love] But don’t rush to Mohe without any enthusiasm. You must know these tips [Smart] ✅About Aurora The Mohe Aurora is not visible every day, and you are really lucky to see it. However, the probability of aurora eruption is the highest from now to February. If you want to see the aurora, you can go during these two months~[Cute] ✅About transportation The only way to get to Mohe is by direct flight from Harbin to Mohe, or by taking the Snow Country Train, but the flight costs are high and the Snow Country Train tickets are hard to get. So if you want low costs, you must buy tickets in advance (of course, if you can't get tickets, you can choose a small group that includes round-trip tickets on the Snow Country Train) [Cheers] [Harbin-Mohe] Ticket Purchase Guide 1⃣12306 issues tickets 15 days in advance and selects the train number and the backup train number. (If you want to spend more time on the bus to see the scenery, it is recommended to take the K7041 bus, which has the longest daytime of all buses; if you want to save time, choose the K7039 bus, which has the shortest ride time.) 2⃣Fill in the frequently used contact information in advance and confirm that the identity has been verified. 3⃣Tickets for Harbin-Mohe are released at 10:00 in the morning. Click in at 9:59:59, although there is still a high chance that they will be sold out in seconds. 4⃣Choose to be on the waiting list immediately. The 12306 system releases tickets in different time periods. Basically, anyone can be on the waiting list. If two people use two numbers to be on the waiting list respectively, the probability of success will be higher. [Congratulate] 5⃣Tickets for Mudanjiang-Mohe (from the departure station to the terminal station) will be released at 15:30 in the afternoon. I have personally tested that it is very easy to buy tickets this way. There are still hard sleeper tickets available after the tickets are released intact. You can take a short ride if you want to travel a long distance. Get on the train at Harbin Station 🚄. ✅ Dressing guide "The inner layer should be thin, and the outer layer should be thick." Choose a long down jacket to protect your legs as well. Wear a thin autumn shirt inside your upper body, a tight vest outside, and then put on a beautiful sweatshirt or sweater. This way, you can still look beautiful even if you take off your clothes to eat indoors. For the lower body, wear large fleece-lined cotton trousers. It is best to choose those with thickened knees and lower back, and then wear down pants or fleece-lined outer trousers on the outside. A hat, gloves, earmuffs and a scarf are all essential.

Mohe City in the Greater Khingan Range is located at the northernmost tip of China and is known as the "Arctic of China". Beijixing Square was built to commemorate this Arctic city and is the northernmost public square in China. When it snows, the square is as beautiful as a painting. I thought it was just an ordinary city park, but when I visited it, I found it was a great place to check in and take photos. It is located in the center of Mohe City, and you can easily get there by train or plane. Isn't that convenient? Here are some tips for visiting Beijixing Square: 1. Tickets: Beijixing Square is a public open area in Mohe, open 24 hours a day for free, so there is no entrance fee. 2. Duration: The square is not very large, but it is a great place to play in the snow in winter. It is a great place to take your loved ones or children for a leisurely time. I recommend spending 1–2 hours there. 3. Transportation: Beijixing Square is located in the center of Mohe City and is easily accessible by public transportation. Mohe Station, the airport, and some rural bus lines can take you directly to the main entrance of Beijixing Square or nearby stops. However, bus schedules may change on snowy days, so keep an eye on them. 4. Nearby attractions: Beijixing Square is close to the Greater Khingan Range Memorial Hall, Mohe Monument, China Arctic Mosque, Mohe Dance Hall, and other famous attractions. 5. Food and accommodation: The hotel and restaurant industry in the center of Mohe City is very mature, and Beijixing Square is located in the city center, so there are all kinds of hotels available, and the room rates are not too high, usually around CNY 200 for a standard room. The cost of dining is slightly higher than in Harbin, but it is generally affordable. 6. Notes: When taking a taxi in Mohe, you need to negotiate the price in advance to avoid unnecessary disputes. Prepare spare batteries for your phone, camera, etc., as they tend to run out of power in cold weather.
