Located in north latitude of 53.5, Mohe is the “Divine Arctic” of China. There is the coldest place in China ,and the extreme minimum temperature can reach 52.3 degrees centigrade below zero. Very few people live there ,especially in the winter. However, in the village with snow-capped, you can only see the orange light from the window of the small cabin covered with snow. Bright star as diamonds set in the deep blue night sky. Maybe ,we should step snow to the north, getting the experience of the north of the northern , feeling an extreme pure.
In Mohe , the winter is very cold and long, almost from September each year, it will start to snow and end in mid-May of next year. So traveling in Mohe , it is important to do winter protection and keep warm. The tourism projects in Mohe are basically related to ice and snow, the vast snow of “Arctic Village” ,Ice Lantern in Mohe county, snow sculpture exhibition and horse-drawn sledge are all fun .
Find “North” in Mohe –Arctic Village
The north of the north in Mohe is arctic village. I see the village surrounded by mountains on three sides, the north place is Heilongjiang . In the village , there are chic style rooms with wood carving in both sides of street , the around wall is rounded up by pines ,then cast mud inside and outside.
Heilongjiang is such as a sleeping girl in front of you , the ice unknown its thick is her silver dress. The villages of Russian are clearly visible not far away. You can not walk in the middle of the river for you will “go abroad” not carefully. The scattered farmers are fishing on the river, some are Chinese , and some are Russian. Seeing their fishing , it feels like “fishing alone in the river and snow”.
How Freeing as How You Want
Winter in Mohe , the sun appear in nine o’clock am. and disappear in three o’clock pm. There are only six hours during the day , so that is why they are called “night of the city”. On the train to Mohe , wind from Daxinganling passes outside the window, three-layer window can not resist the cold. Getting out of the train , the cold wind as a knife are scraping the face. The most peculiar is that you can see the rime around yourself . A breath of hot air rallies in the eyebrows, hair and neck, forming the loose white needle-like ice crystals . After the decoration of rime, male has become “Santa Claus” while female has become “White-hair Girl”.
Wandering around Mohe , roads are covered with full of sick ice and snow, you will slip easily even walking very carefully. You should pay attention to the temperature indoor and outdoor , the warmth after the cold will fever your skin.
Ice and Snow Festival
China. Mohe Snow and Ice Festival is held on Dec,25 every year and it lasts one month. It is a snow event of culture, sports, tourism and other activities, the art work of ice sculpture , snow sculpture and ice light show a colorful exhibition. Yangko show, drum performance, ice art, lantern show and paper-cut show enough attract the attention of photographers, letting people on the scoop.
Good Time to See Ice Fog
Ice fog is an unique natural phenomenon in Mohe , it is often seen in very cold month. Generally it appears at the temperature of 45 degrees centigrade below zero, then local people call “white smoke”. Visibility in ice fog is very low, you can not see people beyond ten meters. People spit spit ,then it export into ice.
Another feature in Mohe is rime. It mainly appear rime in early winter and early spring , sometimes in winter. Rime usually occurs in the cold weather suddenly warming. The formation of rime is during the night, next day is generally warm and sunny . After sunrise, almost everything is covered with fog hanging , how impressive scene it is !
Arctic Large Ice Bar
Furniture in the arctic ice bar with modern features is carved with ice, it shows the unique natural snow and ice view to all the visitors. Sitting here in a little rest , having a cup of coffee, it just like stepping into the romantic ice hotel in northern Europe . Full flavor.
