The first time I knew About Mohe, I wanted to go to Mohe to see the Aurora Borealis. Recently, Liu Shuang's "Mohe Ballroom" song often echoed in my ears, which made me start to yearn for mohe, a border town. Curious about the magical scene of long summer days and short winter days in this northernmost part of China, I want to see the scenery of the northernmost village in China; I want to meet Santa Claus in the legendary fairy tale; I want to witness the dreamy aurora of China's far north; and I want to listen to the poignant story of the Mohe Ballroom.
How to get there?
Now the Mohe River is temporarily not connected to high-speed and there is no high-speed rail, and the only two ways to reach Mohe are now airplanes and trains, and you can take a plane directly to Mohe Gulian Airport. If you have enough time, it is recommended to take a train, you can first arrive in Harbin, and then take a train from Harbin to Mohe. Every day in Harbin, there will be a train K7040 from Harbin to Mohe, which takes 18 hours to reach the remote town of Mohe, but the beauty of the road will not disappoint you.
In addition, if you want to be more comfortable during the journey, you can also choose luxury trains to travel, take the "forerunner" of domestic trains to travel slowly - Hulunbuir, the starting point of the entire train journey is located at Xiangfang Station in Harbin, and then all the way north to Mohe. The train is like a luxurious mobile landscape hotel, with only three private rooms or four private rooms per car on the train, with good privacy. There are also oversized purple and gold landscape rooms, gold landscape rooms and elegant platinum landscape rooms. This train perfectly combines transportation, food' amusement, sightseeing and socializing.
How to wear it?
In the Mohe River, the things prepared in different seasons are different, if you go in the summer, the days are long, so you should pay attention to sun protection and hydration, as well as room mosquitoes and the like, so as to ensure that you are not burned and can be protected. If it is in the winter to do a good job of warm measures, in the winter of the Mohe outdoor temperature in the daytime are about minus 20 degrees so it is very important to resist the cold, winter to go is to put on the warm clothes and pants and then thick down jacket as far as possible is to wrap themselves thicker.
How to play?
If you go to Mohe, it is recommended that winter be the most fun, and the Mohe River in winter becomes more "vivid and interesting" under the baptism of ice and snow. How can you play in Mohe? You can choose the order of play according to the way from near and far, and slowly go deep into the beautiful city of Mohe.

Nine curves and eighteen bends
WINTER
The first stop of the Mohe River is the Nine-Curve Eighteen-Bend, which is a famous landscape in the Mohe River, as its name suggests, the Emur River meanders and ruggedly, naturally forming the Nine-Curve Eighteen-Bend. In winter, the river surface is covered with ice and snow, and the frozen river surface is more dazzling under the sunlight, and the surrounding area is silent, and the white river is like a silver dragon coiled in the mountains. Spectacular snowfields of Linhai shine in the sun.
Entering the scenic spot, you can see that the scenic spot has a five-story observation deck "Tenglong Pavilion" on the riverbank. In winter, ascend to the observation deck and look out into the distance, the trees in the distance are staggered, and the white river meanders away magnificently. In the distance, the sky and the earth are vast, and the trees in front of you are lined up, and the scenery here will be collected between the pitches.

Mohe Ballroom
The next stop can go to the Mohe Dance Hall to see, I believe that everyone has been moved by the story behind the folk singer Liu Shuang's "Mohe Ballroom", in 2019, Liu Shuang saw an old man dancing alone in an old dance hall in Mohe during a wind-gathering trip. Later, it was learned that the old man's wife was killed in the "Five-Six Fire Accident" in Daxing'anling, after which the old man did not remarry and had no children, and he often went to the dance hall near the scene of the incident to dance, remembering his deceased wife who loved to dance.
Such a touching story backstory makes this small dance hall full of sadness and regret. There's nothing special about this ballroom, but if you're a nostalgic person and touched by this poignant love, you can check it out. "At the Mohe Ballroom in 1980, if you had time, you would come and see me, see how the snow ages, how my eyes melt."

Birch forest
Out of the Desert River Ballroom you can go to the birch forest, the winter birch forest is clean and pure, like a fairy tale world, this birch forest also suffered from the fire in 1987, but now they have re-grown to thrive, the sun shines through the gaps in the woods, shining on the snow-white ground and trunks, as if only the sky is blue and the earth is white between heaven and earth.
It is super suitable for taking photos in the birch forest, and has its own reflector in the pure white background, whether it is standing in the forest or walking through the trees or shooting against the trees. However, if you lean against the tree, be careful not to get the bark of the birch tree. There is also the fact that when taking pictures, try to wear bright clothes so that the film is more out of the film.

North Red Village
The village at the real northernmost point of the Mohe River here, it is at the junction of China and Russia, where there stands a stone stele that reads "Congratulations, find the northernmost one". You can feel the northernmost taste of the northeast, and there are also wood-carved houses with a sense of age, which are decorated with snow and make it look like a fairy tale world.
This village is very small but very quiet, the wooden structure of the small courtyard house seems to be leisurely and relaxed, here you can sit in the warm house to watch the snow outside the window, and friends come together can be on the warm kang with melon seeds drinking wine chat is very comfortable, here you can also splash water into ice outside the homestay, a pot of hot water to the sky to throw instant ice is really super beautiful very interesting.

Here is the place with the most "northernmost", the northernmost post office, the northernmost primary school, the northernmost bank, the northernmost supermarket, and any place has the label of "China's northernmost".

In the summer, the aurora borealis will also attract photography enthusiasts from all over the world to shoot here, and the fantastic sky, fairytale wooden houses, and beautiful night will make everyone who comes here linger.
In winter, it is snowy and has become a world of ice and snow. Here you can go to the Far North Post Office and send yourself a meaningful postcard stamped with the seal of the Far North Post.
