Escape the Summer Heat with Your Kids! Dive into Mohe's Cool Paradise and Encounter the Northern Lights 🌌

While cities are sweltering in heatwaves, Mohe beckons with its refreshing 15°C breeze! This time, we ventured to China's northernmost point with our little ones, not only avoiding the scorching summer but also witnessing the magical dance of emerald-green and soft-pink auroras under the pitch-black sky. The sheer awe of that moment had our kids jumping with excitement!

Mohe Travel Guide ⛔️: Avoid Pitfalls & Maximize Fun

✅ Food Guide: Authentic Northeastern cuisine is a must-try! Hearty pork stew with vermicelli, tender chicken with mushrooms, crispy sweet-and-sour Guo Bao Rou, and rustic potato stew with farm eggs—these dishes will turn your kids into little "food champions" in no time!
✅ Signal Warning: Outside villages, remote areas become "no-service zones" instantly! Download offline maps and cache cartoons beforehand to avoid "digital withdrawal."
✅ Northern Lights Tips: Don’t wait blindly! Check the "Mohe Aurora Forecast" before your trip. Mid-to-late June (around the summer solstice) is prime time, with higher chances of spotting the aurora at night.
✅ Transportation Tips: Attractions are spread out, and public transport is scarce. For family trips, reliable private cars or small tour groups are highly recommended. New drivers should think twice before attempting self-drive—only seasoned drivers can handle the roads here.
✅ Temperature Reminder: Days are cool, but nights are super chilly! Pack windbreakers, long sleeves, and snuggle tight under the quilts at homestays to avoid catching a cold.
✅ Reindeer Feeding Hack: At the "Ewenki Reindeer Park" in Arctic Village, a ¥10 grass bundle buys you adorable reindeer cuddles and Instagram-worthy antler photos!
✅ Key Highlights:

- Arctic Star Square: Only tourist shuttle buses are allowed; private vehicles are prohibited.
- First Bend of the Dragon River: Push through the climb! The summit offers breathtaking views of the winding river below and Russia’s uninhabited grasslands across the border.
