No need to fly to Northern Europe—you can witness the green aurora in Mohe!

No need to travel to Northern Europe; you can experience breathtaking auroras right in Mohe, and it's absolutely stunning! 2025 marks the peak year of solar activity, significantly increasing the chances of aurora sightings. The best viewing period is from June to August—don’t miss this opportunity!

🌟Best viewing time: 10 PM to 2 AM is the most active period for auroras. Remember to pick a clear, cloudless night for the best experience!

📍Prime viewing spots:

- Arctic Village: The northernmost village in China with minimal light pollution and wide-open views. Don’t miss landmarks like the "Northernmost Post Office"—sending a postcard after seeing the aurora adds a special touch!
- Beihong Village: More rustic and tranquil than Arctic Village, with less commercialization. Falling asleep under the aurora here is pure romance.

📅3-day, 2-night itinerary:
Day 1: Arrival in Mohe → Stroll through the birch forest, wandering through a fairy-tale landscape → Marvel at the wonders of Nüjiao Bay, witnessing nature’s artistry → Head to the First Bend of the Heilongjiang River, climb the observation deck for a panoramic view of the "Golden Ring Island" (and check out China’s northernmost point) → Stay overnight at Beihong Village’s stargazing camp, searching for the aurora in the serene night sky.
Day 2: Explore Arctic Village in depth, visiting iconic spots like the Golden Rooster Crown, Arctic Sandbar, Boundary Monument, and Northernmost Outpost → Stay at a riverside guesthouse in Arctic Village and keep watch for the aurora by the river—you might just catch that dreamy green glow.
Day 3: Visit the Ewenki Reindeer Park for close encounters with adorable reindeer → Stop by the Mohe Dance Hall to reminisce about its romantic story → Tour the 56 Fire Memorial to reflect on history → Wander through Songyuan Park, a slice of primeval forest in the city → Climb to the North Star Square for a bird’s-eye view of Mohe → Departure, concluding a perfect trip.

❗Tips:
Pack a light down jacket and thermal pants—nights can get chilly! A tripod is a must for capturing the aurora.

This summer, head to Mohe and chase that magical green aurora! 💖
