From Moer Dao to Linjiang, you need to take a section of the forest. There are very few people in this section, and there is no car on the way. You pass by an uninhabited town, except for one or two people in the government department. See people. When the whole village came along, the signs were restaurants, accommodation, but no one opened the door during the winter. The winter is so beautiful, the summer should be super beautiful. Whether to take this road in winter, please drive a highly skilled master and be sure to choose a model with a high ground. The snow has photos so thick, and I often see all kinds of footprints in the whole process. There are big and small ones. Every time I get off the camera, I have some concerns. There is no signal on this road. If the car is really stuck. I can't imagine anything else in the snow. Although we are worried about this road, it is good that the scenery is not bad. The more you go, the closer the trees are to the winter. The snow fell on the leaves, as if a Christmas tree, the long road curved forward, can not see the end, looking forward to encounter surprises in the corner.

Bu Dong Xia of Hulunbeier, there are no high-rise buildings, no crowds, no network. There are only Ewenki hunters who live on reindeer. They lived with the reindeer, where the reindeer went, and they placed their home. Ewenki people are simple and kind, the reindeer's double eyes are clear and translucent, let the Daxinganling this piece of Linhai Xueyuan, like a fairy tale. Christmas is here to play with the reindeer, wearing a red dress can be cos santa claus ~

Keshiketeng Banner is located in the eastern part of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, northwest of Chifeng City. It lies at the junction of the Inner Mongolia Plateau, the southern end of the Greater Khingan Mountains, and the Yanshan Mountain remnants of Qilaotu Mountain, with an average altitude of 1,100 meters. It boasts numerous scenic spots and diverse cultures. Keshiketeng Banner features the most beautiful self-driving routes: the "Dada Line" and the "Rea Line." Dada Line: From Dali Lake to Daqing Pasture, the main attractions include Dali Lake, Baiyin Aobao Sandy Spruce Forest, and Ashatu Stone Forest. Along the way is the vast Gongger Grassland. Rea Line: From Reshuitang to Ashatu Stone Forest.

If winter has an end, it must be in Mohe. This is the "Rooster's Crest Peak" of China's map, a fairy-tale secret land wrapped in pure white snow, a place where you can engrave the words "northern scenery" deep into your memory. Come to Mohe for a winter date about snow, forests, and aurora fantasies. At the northernmost coordinate, write your own ice and snow story. 🌲 Step into the birch forest and enter a fairyland Mohe's birch forest is the gentlest stroke of winter. The vast birch trees shed their green leaves, becoming even whiter and more upright against the snow, like elves guarding a secret realm. You can, like the traveler in the picture, wear a warm plush coat, run freely and pause in the forest, watch the sunlight filtering through the branches casting mottled shadows, and listen to the crunching sound of snow underfoot. If the wind happens to blow, the falling snowflakes will weave an exclusive "snow dance" for you, and every snap is a fresh and healing winter masterpiece. 🦌 Accompanied by reindeer, be a child of the forest In Mohe's reindeer park, you can encounter these creatures from a "fairy tale kingdom." They have large and elegant antlers, with gentle and curious eyes. Like in the picture, hold a small basket and feed the reindeer. When they come close, the snow crystals on their eyelashes sparkle, as if instantly transporting you to a Nordic forest secret. Take a photo with the reindeer and let this "snow elf" become your special companion on your Mohe trip. ✨ Polar light painting, draw a starry river on a cold night Mohe's night is not just quiet snow. When night falls, you can try a "light painting magic"—like the traveler in the picture, waving steel wool in the cold night, letting golden sparks bloom into circles in the darkness, as if crushing the Milky Way in your palm. If you're lucky enough, you can also look up at the clear night sky and hope for a glimpse of the aurora (the best time to see the northern lights in Mohe is from September to April of the following year). Even if you don't catch the aurora, the starry sky is enough to enchant you. 🏠 The northernmost villages, fully embrace the ritual of "north" Arctic Village: Check in at "China's northernmost post office," send a postcard to yourself far away; take a photo in front of the "northernmost home," and enjoy the fun of "finding north"; stay overnight on a traditional northeastern kang bed, with snow outside the window and warmth inside, experiencing the most authentic northern lifestyle. Beihong Village: A more niche and primitive village than Arctic Village, where the snow is quieter and there are fewer people. You can stroll along the Heilongjiang Riverbank, see the Russian forest and snowfields across the river, and experience the pure border village charm. 🍲 Warm and hearty food, savor Northeast flavors in minus thirty degrees After playing, step into a Northeast cuisine restaurant and order a pot of iron pot stewed goose. Watch the owner put potatoes, vermicelli, and goose into the iron pot to simmer. When the lid is lifted, the aroma dispels all coldness; try a frozen sugar-coated hawthorn stick, biting into the icy crisp shell and sweet and sour fruit—Mohe's most representative "cold sweet" in winter; also try frozen pears, soaked in water to thaw, biting into juicy sweetness, a childhood memory for Northeast kids. 🚗 Travel tips Best time: November to February of the following year, when the snow scenery is at its peak, and you can experience special activities like water splashing turning to ice and snowmobiling. Transportation: You can fly to Mohe Guliang Airport or take a train to Mohe Station. Local car rentals or shared rides are more convenient for touring. Clothing: Dress warmly! Down jackets, snow boots, scarves, gloves, hats—fully equipped. Mohe's cold is a romantic chill to be respected. Mohe's winter is an endless poem. Come here, step on the thickest snow, see the quietest forest, meet the warmest people, and turn all your winter fantasies into tangible reality. Book your trip on Trip.com and set off to Mohe for the northernmost ice and snow date in China! Mohe · Greater Khingan Mountains

I walked into the Greater Khingan Mountains, described countless times in textbooks! The gift of late autumn filled this journey with surprises from the very first moment✨ 🚗The scenery flowing outside the car window was just like a moving oil painting🎨 From the emerald carpet of Hulunbuir Grassland gradually transforming into a vibrant palette of wetland colorful forests and then to the stunning morning mist of Qiqian Village Every frame was so breathtaking it made people stop and take photos. 📍Stunning Moment: Encountering Hulun Lake When this "lake within a sea" came into view all expectations turned into awe! 💛The golden lake surface connected with the horizon 🌬️The crisp wind rustled the reeds and also stirred my heartstrings～ 🌊Beautiful Legend: English Name: Dalai Nor Chinese Name: Dalai Nuoer Lake Address: Hulunbuir City, Inner Mongolia This lake also has a romantic story: The nomadic Mongols of the Qing Dynasty used "Dalai" (sea) + "Nor" (lake) to name it "a lake like the sea." Standing by the lake, gazing into the distance it felt as if I could hear, from hundreds of years ago, the echoes of herdsmen galloping on horseback and see them gathered around bonfires singing ancient songs about the lake📜 🌅What I want to say at this moment: The words in textbooks finally gained warmth The late autumn sun shone on the lake surface like scattered gold dust and also illuminated the most beautiful memories of this journey～

A three-day, two-night trip to the Greater Khingan Range let me see the stunning scenery described in textbooks! When the morning mist cleared, golden sunlight filtered through the birch forest, and the distant lake shimmered with a blue glow. That moment truly healed me～ 🌲 Trip Highlights: - Stroll through the autumn birch forest, with golden fallen leaves covering the path - Encounter the "sea" of the Greater Khingan Range, where the lake reflects the blue sky and white clouds - Enjoy the vast grassland wetlands and spot migrating birds 📍 Recommended Check-in Spots: 1. Birch Forest Scenic Area: Golden birch trunks sparkle under the sunlight, perfect for a desktop wallpaper shot (Opening hours: 8:00-17:00) 2. Wetland Park: Walk along the wooden boardwalk and see various water birds resting (Address: Jiagedaqi District, Greater Khingan Range) 3. "Sea" Viewing Platform: Locals call it the "Sea of Little Khingan," with a lake surface as wide and mirror-like (Best visited at dawn or dusk for the most beautiful light) 🌡️ Travel Tips: - October has large temperature differences between morning and evening, remember to bring a windproof jacket and warm clothes - Waterproof boots are recommended as wetlands and lakesides can be damp - Bring a thermos and snacks, as there are few dining options inside the scenic area 🏨 Accommodation Recommendations: Chain hotels in Jiagedaqi city are convenient, or you can choose a unique guesthouse to experience forest life. We stayed at the Xing'anling Forest Hotel, which offers good value, clean rooms, and sufficient heating.

When the Siberian cold wave sweeps across the banks of the Heilongjiang River, Mohe becomes the first place in China to don a snowy white outfit. This northernmost small city hides all the romantic imaginations people have about the "extreme north"—in the biting air of minus thirty degrees, every breath condenses into mist, every step on the snow produces a crisp "crunch" sound, as if stepping into a pure white fairy tale where time slows down. Upon arriving in Mohe, "finding north" is the first must-do. At the "China’s northernmost home" in Arctic Village, the red-walled, wooden-roofed houses are gently curved under the weight of the snow, and the red lanterns hanging at the door stand out brightly against the white snow. Every snapshot is a winter scene full of festive flavor. Send a postcard from the village’s "northernmost post office," stamped with the exclusive Arctic postmark, so that people far away can also receive the warmth from the northernmost part of the motherland. If luck is on your side, you might catch the aurora late at night—the green light ribbons dance on the dark blue sky, sometimes stretching like silk, sometimes twinkling like stars. At that moment, all the cold is dissolved by this ultimate romance. Leaving Arctic Village and heading deeper to Beihong Village, you can encounter a more original Northeast snow village scene. There are no excessive commercial traces here; villagers’ wooden log houses are covered with half a meter of snow, and smoke rises gently from chimneys in the cold air, blending with the distant sea of forest and snowfields into a tranquil ink painting. Early in the morning, join the villagers in "throwing water to freeze"—hot water arcs through the air and instantly freezes into flying ice crystals. When sunlight shines on them, it refracts into scattered glimmers, making every shot a moment that will flood your social media. To experience Mohe’s "wild charm," the winding rime along the meandering river cannot be missed. The Emuer River in the early morning is not yet fully frozen; steam rises and condenses into thick rime on the willow trees by the shore. From afar, it looks like a silver-clad world, as if entering a crystal world made of ice and snow. Standing on the viewing platform overlooking the scene, the frozen river winds like a silver snake, drawing graceful curves on the snowfield. Every click of the shutter captures stunning scenery that needs no filter. Of course, Mohe’s cold must be countered with warmth. Sit on a heated kang bed in a villager’s home and drink a steaming bowl of Northeast mixed stew. Ribs, corn, and potatoes are stewed until tender and flavorful in an iron pot. One bite spreads warmth from the stomach throughout the body. After the meal, enjoy a frozen pear—bite through the ice shell to find the fruit inside sweet, sour, and juicy, a unique winter flavor of Northeast China. Winter in Mohe is purely cold and exquisitely beautiful. There is no city noise here, only the vast snowfields, the romance of the aurora, and the warmth of the Northeastern people. If you long for a trip that is "cold but happy," why not visit Mohe—at the northernmost tip of the motherland, collide fully with pure white snow, dazzling stars, and warm people.

My first impression after visiting Iksama is: Once you've seen the vast ocean, no other water compares💧, and except for Wushan, no other clouds are the same☁️~ Forget about Egret Island (even though it's still very green now🌿) Forget about Genbai Line, they have all faded into insignificance🚫 Iksama is simply explosively beautiful!!!💥 Every frame here is wallpaper-worthy📷 The most beautiful scenery is forever etched in the mind🧠 The camera can only capture 1% of the stunning beauty✨ And what I can share is only 0.01%...

In the evening, go to 1409 Highland to chase the sunset, and at night, hang out at Central Road Night Market drinking rosehip milk tea to warm up. Must-try food: Wetland Fish Restaurant’s iron pot stewed fish, incredibly fresh. 📸Photo Tips: 1. Reindeer Interaction: Shoot against the light at 10 AM, squat low to meet the deer’s eye level, capture the moment it licks your palm, full forest vibe. 2. Wetland Boardwalk: Shoot light and shadow spots at 3 PM, wear a plain-colored dress standing in the middle of the boardwalk, low angle to show depth. 3.

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?
