A must-see for winter travel! Head north to Mohe and visit the Arctic Christmas Village.

Preface

The Ewenki people, along with their herds of deer, vanished into the memory of the earth. The villages and towns that arose during the gold rush gradually faded from the source of history. Wildfires left scars, and forests regenerated from the scorched earth. The people who served the forest farms, after enduring the long winter here, gradually left...

While other places were still happily welcoming the first snow, snowflakes had already silently fallen all over the ground.

This winter, the most romantic thing I can think of is to go with you to the end of the land under our feet, to the north where the wind and snow are blowing, to look for Mohe.

Mohe

Revisiting childhood hymns

Board the Snowpiercer, drive out of the bustling city, and travel through the icy and snowy Xing'an Mountains. The end of the whistle is the northernmost tip of the country.

The old man with white beard realized that the visitors from afar were approaching, and he played the familiar Christmas melody with the sound of crisp bells.

Does this scene bring you back to your favorite holiday movie from childhood, "The Polar Express"? They say that taking the train back to Mohe is for a sense of ritual.

Travel east for about half an hour from the Arctic Village. When you see the wooden spires, you have arrived at the Christmas Village, which includes a festival square, fairytale cottages, themed snow sculptures, and a Christmas post office. This is the only Christmas-themed village in Asia. Warm lights create a festive atmosphere. Standing in the center of the European-style buildings, it feels like you have really arrived in the Nordic snow country within the Arctic Circle.

Who says there is no Santa Claus in the world?

You will meet a real, certified Santa Claus who has traveled across the ocean from Rovaniemi, Finland, the hometown of Christmas. Go and hug him, take a photo with him, and you will also receive a lovely handwritten letter.

In Mohe, you will also meet another childhood friend - the reindeer, who is also Santa Claus's most capable assistant, Rudolf the red-nosed.

They are the elves of the Ewenki people. Many descendants of the Ewenki people have returned to the deep mountains of Daxinganling. The Ewenki children have grown up with reindeer since childhood.

Reindeer have a proud posture but a gentle temperament. You can reach out your hand to feel the warm breath of a reindeer, stroke its fur that has accumulated in winter, gently touch its antlers that are as shiny and complex as wood carvings, and take a close photo with them.

China's Arctic

Arouse a desire for the unknown

A hundred years ago, gold prospectors overcame the polar cold and the darkness of the forest, and with great difficulty, settled on the south bank of the surging Longjiang River. Today, we are still obsessed with exploring the mysterious coordinates of 53°33′42″.

Who would trek along the river on a winter day when the temperature is minus 30 degrees Celsius?

Who would wander in the snow when even their eyelashes are frozen?

Who would travel thousands of miles just to stay for a moment in a corner of the world?

The desire to explore the unknown and the longing for the ultimate are all youthful emotions.

From the source of the Luogu River, the river named after the Black Dragon stretches westward, gains silver scales in winter, and swings its tail like a dragon after passing the Golden Ring Island, forming the magnificent first bay of the Longjiang River. Standing on the top of the Xing'an Mountains and looking down, the poem "The scenery of the north, thousands of miles of ice and snow" will involuntarily jump into your mind.

With a yearning for "China's most northern polar region", we walked along the soft snowy road in search of the northernmost outpost, the northernmost family, the northernmost post office, the northernmost church, the northernmost supply and marketing agency...

And stand on the real pole - the Ussuri shallows, and gently stroke the solemn but lonely stone monument.

At that moment, "North" was no longer a symbol, but a scene where the sky and the earth were one, a temperature that constantly stimulated the skin, and a breath-taking shout that rushed out of the throat, "I finally found the North!"

From Luogu River to Beihong Village, the warm sun casts shadows on the wooden ridges. The old horse neighs and the family dog ​​barks. Time slows down in the simplicity and purity of the countryside. It is not just this beautiful morning light, there are countless moments in Mohe that are unforgettable.

It is the relief of looking up at the sky suddenly in the deserted forest.

It is the joy of wandering in the quiet village and enjoying the sparkling fireworks.

It is the surprise brought by the beautiful lines on the soles of your feet when you step carefully on the river surface.

It is the magic and beauty of the scene of "water turning into ice" in the dazzling sunrise

The northernmost part of the motherland

Looking back, everywhere is home

I always miss the quiet nights spent in Mohe, in the Arctic Village or Beihong Village. Although there are no legendary auroras, there are often stars and friends to keep me company.

What people care about is not the shape of distant stars, but the warmth of the people in front of them. Watching the Milky Way and the starry sky together in the northernmost part of the motherland, such a romantic thing will surely shine in everyone's heart and become a beautiful memory that will never fade.

Here, we use a party to find the New Year in our memories. From strangers to acquaintances, your hometown accent gradually blends into my words. From mixing the stuffing to putting it in the pot, I will teach you how to make dumplings look like wontons.

When you open the door, you will see the ice and snow of a foreign land, while in the warm room, no matter where you are, east or west, as long as you look south of Mohe River, everywhere is home.

From the northernmost post office, I send a letter filled with thoughts, stamp it with the exclusive postmark of the Arctic Post Office, and put it into the mailbox with air conditioning. I wonder if the recipient will still feel a hint of coolness when holding it in his hands.

Have an ice hotpot on the surface of the Heilongjiang River. The boiling water melts the ingredients and whets your appetite. Even if you forget all the experiences here, you will never forget the red faces of your shivering companions. That is the emotion of being "frozen" together at -30℃.
