When you think of winter, your mind will most likely stray to the European continents.But what many might not know is that you can see some of the acclaimed sights like the Northern Lights without needing to travel that far.
At the most northern part of China is a province called Heilongjiang Province (translated to ‘Black Dragon River’).It shares a border with Russia, which explains the latter’s influence to the province in terms of their architecture, food, and culture.
Heilongjiang is known to be one of the coldest areas in China when winter comes. During this season, many hidden gems emerge that transform the province into a true frozen paradise.
Under the jurisdiction of Daxing'anling, Mohe is located at the northern end of Heilongjiang. It borders Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region on the south, Tahe County on the east and faces Russia across the Heilongjiang River. Mohe is the most north county-level city in China.It covers an area of 18,427 square kilometers (7,114.7 square miles).It has a Population of 83,414 among them including many ethnic group people like Man, Mongol, Hui, Ewenki.
Nestled in the north part of Mohe is the North Pole Village (Beijicun) where you’ll not only be able to see the Northern Lights, you’ll get to experience Polar Day too (when the midnight sun will be visible for 22 hours during the day).
A popular, if not always reliable, viewing spot for the aurora borealis, Mohe (漠河, Mòhé) is a modest town backed by Siberian pine forests and craggy mountain ranges. Its mushy bogs turn lush in summer, but much of the year Mohe is dipped in snow. This region is also home to dwindling settlements of northern indigenous communities, such as the Daur, Ewenki, Hezhen and Oroqen.
Mohe is one of China’s most intriguing outliers, sharing not just a border with Russia, but architecture as well. In 1985 the town burned to the ground in a raging forest fire and when it came time to rebuild, Mohe decided to redo the main streets in an imperial-era Russian style with spired domes, pillared entrances and facades with rows of narrow windows.
Seeing the famous Northern Lights is something on many traveller’s bucket list. Generally, countries in Europe such as Norway and Switzerland are common hotspots to see the Aurora Borealis.But you don’t have to travel over 2,000km to see it.Nestled in the north part of Mohe is the North Pole Village (Beijicun) where you’ll not only be able to see the Northern Lights, you’ll get to experience Polar Day too (when the midnight sun will be visible for 22 hours during the day).The best time to see this is during the summer solstice and it is the only place in Asia where you’ll be able to see it.
The North Pole Village in itself is an interesting place. People have also dubbed it as the “home of Santa Claus” because over here, every day feels like Christmas. There will actually be a Santa Claus walking about for tourists to take photos with.You can do other activities such as sleigh riding, skiing and or just building snowmen here too. The singing is optional.
