What else is there in Arctic Village at minus 30℃ besides extreme cold?

Northeast China · China The northernmost village in China lives up to its name! As the northernmost settlement in our country, Arctic Village perfectly combines the harshness of extreme cold with the magic of the aurora — during the day, check in at the "Northernmost Post Office" and "Northernmost Bank" one by one, and at night, wrap yourself in a thick coat and stay in a cozy wooden log cabin guesthouse. If you're lucky, you might catch the green aurora streaking across the night sky. Who wouldn't love this experience❄️ 📸 Must-capture eye-catching spots Arctic Village Stone Monument: Stand next to it in a bright-colored coat with snow-capped mountains in the background, instantly becoming a snow elf Christmas Village: Red-roofed wooden houses + Santa Claus, when lit up at night it feels like stepping into a fairy tale, perfect for silhouette shots By the Heilongjiang River: Capture side profiles when the river mist rises, creating a magical atmosphere; the frozen river surface is great for shooting epic "Snow Trekking North" scenes Northernmost Post Office: Send a postcard, hold up a stamp with the snowy scenery in the frame, full of ritual (super convenient to mail right after checking in!) ❄️ Autumn and winter activities that won’t disappoint Chasing the Aurora: Best from October to March! When staying in a wooden log cabin guesthouse, choose one with an aurora alert. Wrap up like a dumpling and wait in the village square from 2 to 4 a.m. When you see green ribbons fluttering by, you’ll really want to scream. Snow Activities: Skiing, horse-drawn sleigh rides, building snowmen, and snowball fights. Remember to wear waterproof gloves, or your hands will get red and cold, making it hard to take beautiful photos. Warm-up Treats: Find a Northeast Chinese restaurant to enjoy iron pot stewed goose, drink a bowl of hot sauerkraut soup, and then bite into a frozen pear. The contrast of hot and cold is amazing. 📝 Practical Tips Clothing: Three-layer dressing method! Thermal underwear + fleece jacket + down coat, fleece-lined pants + snow boots, and complete with hat, scarf, and gloves (the brighter the colors, the better the photos). Gear: Stick warm packs on your phone to prevent shutdown, bring a thermos with hot water, and keep your camera fog-free (extreme cold easily causes fogging). Transportation: It’s recommended to fly to Mohe Airport, then carpool to Arctic Village (about 1.5 hours). Within the village, walk or take sightseeing buses. When extreme cold meets the aurora, when snowy plains collide with fairy tales, the autumn and winter in Mohe’s Arctic Village are destined to be a lifelong unforgettable journey.
