Beihong Village

Beihong Village lies at the northernmost tip of China, on the Sino-Russian border. It belongs to Beiji Township, Mohe County, Heilongjiang Province. Surrounded by mountains to the north and south, with the Heilongjiang River running through the village from east to west, Beihong Village is a sanctuary far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city. A true northernmost village, nestled amidst the northernmost peaks of the Greater Khingan Range, it is surrounded by dense, undeveloped forest. Residents of Beihong Village lack tap water and rely on pressurized wells for their water needs. Deforestation has left the Greater Khingan Range with few towering trees, and rare animals are even fewer. Only Beihong Village, this remote and remote village, retains a touch of its pristine atmosphere. A visit here will surely immerse you in the quintessential flavor of Northeast China.

By The rest of my life is a holiday |

I went there on February 27th. There was no entrance fee to Beihong Village. I went with a tour group and stayed in a guesthouse. There were free horse-drawn sleigh rides, and I also watched winter fishing. For 20 yuan, I went tire skiing on the river between China and Russia. The stars twinkled at night, and the water turned into ice in the morning. Overall, the scenery was beautiful. I should mention that Beihong Village is less commercialized than Arctic Village. Although there are guesthouses all over the streets and food is expensive, it still has a rural feel.

By July |

We arrived in Beihong Village just after dark. Tonight, we stayed in an ordinary farmhouse guesthouse in Beihong Village, featuring rooms with earthen kangs (brick-shaped brick beds). The red floral cotton-padded jacket and bedsheets were a true Northeastern touch. The innkeeper spent over half an hour preparing a sumptuous dinner for us: pork stewed with vermicelli, pumpkin stewed with potatoes, sauerkraut and tofu, potato stewed with chicken, fried hard-boiled eggs, and Russian black bread. Everything was delicious and reasonably priced. The Beihong Village church was just outside the inn's back door, and the night view of Snow Village, illuminated by the lights, looked particularly warm. After dinner, we went to a small farm market on the street to buy toiletries. The outside was filled with boxes of popsicles and frozen pears and persimmons. As expected, the Northeast is warm indoors like spring, and the outdoors are like natural icehouses. The nights in Beihong Village were so quiet you could almost hear the snow falling, even though it wasn't. At six in the morning, the temperature plummeted, and I woke up, tucked in tightly. We got up at eight and gathered at 8:30 to go out and play water-making ice. I love the northern routine. Arctic Village lies right on the banks of the Longjiang River, with the Heilongjiang River just behind the farmhouses. In winter, the river is covered in thick snow. A visit to Mohe is a must, and I couldn't miss the chance to try the ice-splitting game. At the inn, I boiled two large kettles of hot water, filled them with thermoses, and, under Daguo's guidance, I took turns playing the game. It was a real treat. (Daguo said that hot water in Xuexiang costs 40 yuan a cup, but in Mohe, it's free and free.) Here's a look at the daily snowy scene in Beihong Village—see the pictures, and they're all there for you.

Compared to other areas, this area feels somewhat desolate and underdeveloped, and its extreme weather conditions present a challenge for those who venture here. However, only during the colder temperatures of the fifth season can one experience the rare phenomenon of "splashing water into ice." While there's no Milky Way, the starry sky at the northernmost tip is incredibly clear and pristine. The second day in Mohe involves driving along the frozen Heilongjiang River to Arctic Village. Without rushing, there's time to explore Beihong Village. The seemingly unfinished church on the main street is Beihong Village's most opulent building, while the curling smoke from cooking fires and snow-covered houses under the rising sun, a world away from the mundane, offer a truly pristine experience. Of course, don't miss the highlight of the Mohe loop—the "splashing water into ice" activity, a Mohe specialty. The principle is simple: hot water poured into a cold environment instantly loses its heat and freezes.

Usually just after breakfast, people from all walks of life in the B&B would start to take pictures and stand outdoors with kettles of boiling water in their hands. Compared with beautiful poses and cool movements, it is more important to make the water splashing look good.

To create a beautiful splash, keep the bottle in line with your arm at the beginning (don't hold it vertically, or the water will only come out from above your head). Hold the bottle by the bottom and let the water splash out immediately. Since water is colorless, the background must be colorful. A secret tip: taking photos at night under streetlights also looks amazing. Excited after splashing water, we hopped on the car seat and left Beihong Village for Beiji Village.

I was very curious about the night view of Hongji Village. We went out for a stroll at night. The small village was extremely quiet at night. There were not many people on the road. I guess everyone was so cold that they just wanted to hide in the greenhouse.

I looked up and saw many stars in the sky.

There are some small shops in the village. I thought the prices would be higher in remote areas, but it turned out not to be at all! I bought a lot of snacks to eat on the way the next day. I found a large bag of Russian biscuits that were half the price of those on Central Street. The supermarket also sold Russian vodka from across the Heilongjiang River.

I didn’t expect that there is a church in the primitive and ancient village. There are several Russian nesting dolls lined up on both sides of the church door.

The sunrise here is very special, with pink clouds, curling smoke rising, and the snow crunching underfoot. I want to use the camera to freeze every beautiful moment.

One of the experiences you can’t miss when you come here is pouring water into ice. We, who are inexperienced, flipped over haha

I heard that electricity was only available here for five years. Walking along the road, you can see low wooden houses everywhere, with the occasional horse-drawn sleigh. In recent years, the tourism industry has flourished, and the infrastructure is relatively better. Accommodation is very cheap, but food is relatively expensive, about 70 or 80 yuan per person. If you want to save money, you can buy some food at the local supermarket. The price is similar to that outside. When you come here, you can feel the northernmost flavor of Northeast China.

By Wheat ears |

There is not such a strong commercial atmosphere here, and there are no checkpoints or fees to enter the village. It is no different from ordinary villages, and there are quite a lot of inns.

The northernmost viewing platform, under construction at the entrance of the village, has a sign indicating a fee, but is unmanned. Climbing the platform offers a sweeping view of the village, the outpost, the levee, the Jie River, and the opposite bank. To the left, you can see the Beihong Outpost and the garrison. Ahead, you can see the Jie River and the ongoing levee. Construction vehicles are bustling on our side, while the opposite bank remains silent.

Looking at Beihong Village from the observation deck, you will see such a quiet border village with a pastoral scenery.

I hope Beihong Village will not develop like Beiji Village. It is good to keep this natural feature.

By Peach 🐱 |

Walking in the village, snow piled on the roof, tall snowman outside the door, perfect picture

I met a lot of dogs in the village, they were so friendly. A little golden retriever kept following me.

Watch the sun shine on the snow, watch the smoke rise, watch the dogs play together

It seems as if time has stopped, and I can't let go

The other side of the mountain is Russia's territory.

What I still remember is watching you rolling and playing in the snow in Beihong Village.

By Mohe North Kingdom |

Beihong Village is China's northernmost village, geographically speaking. With a permanent population of approximately 100 households, 40% of them are of mixed Russian descent, it's also known as the Russian Ethnic Village. Villagers primarily rely on fishing and farming for their livelihood, maintaining a relatively primitive lifestyle. The village boasts the northernmost outpost, the northernmost police station, the northernmost primary school, the northernmost observation deck, a church, a Russian bakery, and a mixed-race shop. The observation deck on the east side offers a breathtaking view of the entire village, and is highly recommended. Surrounded by pristine forest, Beihong Village is virtually free of light pollution, offering a clear view of the Milky Way and the dazzling starry sky. The distance from Mohe County to Beihong Village is approximately 140 kilometers, a drive of about an hour and a half. A shuttle bus runs every two days, departing on even days.

By Pure Walker |

Beihong Village, truly China's northernmost village! The latest data shows that Beiji Village is at 53°2952.58″ north latitude, while Beihong Village is at 53°33′43″, a little over 3′ higher than Beiji Village, which translates to a 5-kilometer difference in land area. Therefore, Beihong Village is undoubtedly China's northernmost village. Some dislike Beihong, saying it's too quiet and lacks scenic features. But Xiaoyao Gongzi wants to say that if you take the time to experience Beihong, you'll discover its beauty is a pristine, pure emotion, where time feels like it's slowing down. The starry sky is stunning, and you can even see the Milky Way!

By Jiao Youyou |

The village is mostly made up of Russian-style wooden houses, with brightly colored flowers blooming in the courtyards and wooden plank walls. But the most eye-catching building is the Beihong Village border outpost.

By Listening to the Rain at Wutong |

Beihong Village is a pristine village, surrounded on three sides by mountains. The Heilongjiang River flows through it from west to east, making it the true northernmost village. The village has a population of about 300, over 40% of whom are of Russian descent. Some, like Sister Ma, are from the Guandong region. Most houses are simple log cabins, with wooden fences enclosing the courtyards. Smoke rises from kitchen chimneys in the early morning. Beihong Village has only four months of ice-free season, which the villagers cherish, growing their own vegetables. However, for a village primarily reliant on tourism, this is off-season. With the arrival of winter, various ice and snow sports attract visitors: skiing, horse-drawn sleigh rides, and even river driving. My favorite activity is splashing water into ice, and I look forward to returning next time. This time, we stayed at Sister Ma's house, feasted on wild double-lipped fish, slept on a large kang (a traditional Chinese kang), and were provided with Northeastern clothing for photos.

This is a small village with just over 100 households. We arrived around noon. Upon entering, it felt as if time had stood still. It was so quiet, the streets deserted, and chickens and geese waddled by. Was I dreaming? Of all the places I've visited, only two have given me this same feeling of time standing still. The castle in Bagnoli di Civita di Bagnoli, Italy, feels as if time has stopped thousands of years ago. Entering it feels like time travel. But here in this small village, time has stood still, as if we were the only ones moving. Of course, the truth is, it's just that there are fewer people. Noon is the hottest time of the day, and no one is out strolling.

There are quite a few guesthouses and B&Bs in the village. We arrived at the B&B we'd booked online, Yuanfang Guli, right on the bank of the Heilongjiang River, with the river flowing quietly behind us. The facilities were excellent, exceeding my expectations. Most B&Bs here offer dining options, so you can eat at any B&B you stay at. The chef at our B&B, who was probably the owner's mother, cooked delicious Northeastern dishes, including braised pork ribs and stewed chicken.

After lunch and a short rest, we decided to head to the First Bay of the Heilongjiang River. Beihong Village is so small, you can walk from one end to the other in half an hour, so we'll spend tonight and tomorrow morning exploring. After dinner, we wandered around the village, and there were some other tourists. Smoke curled up from the quiet streets. There are many B&Bs in the village, and they're said to be hard to find during peak season! There's even a sentry post at the entrance, and the Heilongjiang River flows quietly beside it. The setting sun casts its light on the river. These mountains, these waters, this village, embody the artistic conception I longed for but couldn't find in Arctic Village!

At night, Wang Lele watched the stars from the entrance of the inn. The village lacked streetlights, so it was nearly pitch black. The air was fresh, the weather was beautiful, and the sky was filled with twinkling stars, stunning her! The bright lights of the city, coupled with the air pollution from high-rise buildings, made the words "starry sky" and "glittering stars" seem like mere descriptions, far removed from our daily lives. Seeing this starry sky, she realized that the starry sky described in articles and poems actually exists. The Big Dipper is easy to find, hanging in the sky like a spoon. It turns out there are so many stars, and they're so bright!

The small, quiet, and remote Beihong Village is what I imagined in my mind.

Beihong Village, formerly known as Dacaodianzi Village, belongs to Beiji Town, Mohe City, Daxinganling Prefecture, Heilongjiang Province. It is located in the northeast of Mohe City, the upper reaches of Heilongjiang River, and the border between China and Russia. Its geographical coordinates are 53 degrees 33 minutes north latitude and 123 degrees 17 minutes east longitude. It is further north than Beiji Village (53 degrees 29 minutes north latitude and 122 degrees 21 minutes east longitude), which is known as the "northernmost village in China". It is the northernmost village-level administrative area in China and also the northernmost undeveloped primitive village in China.

By Stop and Go |

Beihong Village is truly China's northernmost village. It's relatively undeveloped, and even during peak season, it's relatively quiet and unspoiled. In the morning, you can visit the banks of the Heilongjiang River to witness the morning mist, and in the evening, to watch the sunset.

By GAGA |

Actually, the northernmost village in China is Beihong Village, but because Beiji Village has been developed into a very mature scenic area, it is more well-known. In comparison, Beihong Village has few tourists and is very quiet. There are also many B&Bs and restaurants here.

It’s a very small village. A blogger I follow has been there and checked in.

Compared with Beiji Village, Beihong Village is not as prosperous and lively, but it is quiet and leisurely, making it the most suitable place for leisure and relaxation.

Apart from its geographical advantage, there aren't many surprises here! It can only be considered a tourist check-in spot.

I have been to Beihong Village twice. It is one of the three villages under the jurisdiction of Beiji Village. It is very unique and there is no entrance fee. It is worth a visit.

By Zhang Hang |

Personally, I feel that this is a small village in the north that is more representative than the Arctic Village.

The village on the bank of Heilongjiang River is a place worth visiting. The environment and location of the "Han Family Courtyard" where I stayed were also very good.

The inn I stayed at was called Auntie’s Inn, and there were photos taken with celebrities.

The heating is not warm and there is no hot water.

There is a hotel in the village, which may be better.

Beihong Village is located at 53 degrees 33 minutes north latitude and 123 degrees 17 minutes east longitude, which is further north than the "North Pole Village" (53 degrees 29 minutes north latitude and 122 degrees 21 minutes east longitude), which is known as the northernmost village in China. Compared with the North Pole Village, Beihong Village is less commercialized.

Beihong Village and Arctic Village

The names are only one letter different

The scenery is very different

Compared to the bustling Arctic Village

Beihong Village is more charming.

The village is not very big

A main road divides the village into two halves

The neat wooden carvings exude a warm atmosphere

The specialty here is water turning into ice.

The coordinates are 123 degrees 17 minutes east longitude and 53 degrees 33 minutes north latitude. It is the northernmost undeveloped primitive village in China. Beihong Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides. The Heilongjiang River runs from west to east through the north of the village. It is a pure land far away from the hustle and bustle of the city and is the real northernmost village.

By Linghu onion |

It's a very quiet little village. You can experience horse-drawn sleighing and watch winter fishing here. However, when we watched the winter fishing, the master had basically pulled up the nets and we didn't see any holes being drilled in the ice. However, the living environment here is very ordinary.

By Clear Spring |

A poor person in a busy city has no one to care about him; a rich person in a remote mountain area has distant relatives.

It's okay to check in here, but the food, accommodation and entertainment are expensive and there's nothing fun to do. The Arctic Village is better, more fun and cheaper.

Beihong Village is located in Mohe City, Daxing'anling Region, Heilongjiang Province. It is extremely cold in winter and covered with snow. It is a good place to visit and experience the extreme cold. It has a simple style, authentic Northeast characteristics, hospitable villagers, simple folk customs, and beautiful natural scenery.

By Anna |

There is no building with more than two floors in the village, and there is only one cement road.

A more primitive northeastern village than the Arctic Village, it seems more peaceful, with horse-drawn sleighs, winter pounces, bonfire parties, and local customs.

By Small domain does not grow meat |

Compared to the household name of Arctic Village, Beihong Village is lesser-known. In fact, Beihong Village is China's northernmost village. Due to its remote location, it remains largely undeveloped, with electricity and television service only connected in 2008. There are no high-end hotels in the village, and even decent inns are few and far between. Overnight visitors typically stay in family-run guesthouses. Toilets are located outdoors, surrounded by wooden enclosures, offering a chance to experience squatting in -40°C temperatures. Rooms feature simple kang beds, a simple yet quintessential Northeastern atmosphere. The entire house, along with the host family, gathers around the table for a meal, drinking the host's homemade baijiu. This is essentially how Spring Festival is celebrated in Northeast China.

There's only one road leading out of the village, and one end of it is a dead end, as that side is the border. There's a small elementary school on the roadside, with all the houses one-story. I wonder how many students there are in such a remote place. The guard post at the entrance of the village is China's northernmost post, where border guards take turns guarding the motherland's frontier.

By its Shan |

Perhaps due to the tourists' hype, some small villages have built gates and collected entrance fees, but fortunately, Beihong Village does not need to do so. Beihong Village is just like the pictures on the Internet, with only one straight street, and is far less lively than the North Pole Village, which is known as the "Christmas Village".

Please be sure to watch the sunrise in Beihong Village and pour water to make ice. There is no better place than this, believe me.

The other side is the scenery of Russia. Sometimes you feel that you can touch the trees on the other side with your hands. When I arrived at Beihong Village, the sun was setting. I sat on the shore and admired the afterglow of the sunset. It was really beautiful.

When it comes to China's Arctic, many people think of Mohe's "North Pole Village." During our trip to Mohe, a friend took us to Beihong Village, a village that's only one letter away from the North Pole Village and located at a higher latitude. Beihong Village is at 53 degrees 29 minutes north latitude, while Beihong Village is at 53 degrees 33 minutes north latitude. A difference of just four points, this is China's northernmost village.

We arrived at Beihong Village this morning. Perhaps it wasn't peak season yet, so there were few visitors. I heard a lot of people come to Mohe Arctic Village for Christmas, so Beihong Village will be bustling with activity. Those who enjoy pristine nature will love this village, which has a distinct Northeastern feel.

Recommended winter tourism routes in Mohe: Mohe City (North Star Square, Beiyuan Park, Fire Memorial Hall) - Guanyin Mountain - Arctic Village - Arctic Christmas Village - Shenlong Bay - Beihong Village.

Beihong Village, free of charge.

The tour lasts 1 hour.

Like the Arctic Village, there are boundary markers, outposts, and boundary rivers, and you can also take screenshots of the map.

Compared with the large-scale development of Beiji Village, Beihong Village has indeed retained its original appearance and even feels too backward.

The house was a bit dilapidated, with firewood for the winter neatly stacked in front of it.

The newly built houses are mainly concentrated on both sides of the main road that runs through the village.

Mohe Beihong Village - the northernmost village in China in the true sense!

A quiet frontier village, with a tranquil and peaceful temperament, is particularly like the paradise described by Tao Yuanming. The land is flat and spacious, the houses are well-maintained, there are fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry trees and bamboos, and the roads are connected, and the chickens and dogs can be heard...

Walking into this village, there is no traffic, no noise, it is natural and simple, primitive and peaceful!

By Little Fatty |

In Beihong Village, I visited the school. There were only 7 students here, but the teachers offered a full range of courses to the children, including music, art, English, etc. The teachers' dedication is worth learning.

The northernmost village of our motherland now has easy roads and electricity. There are fewer residents of Russian descent than in Enhe Russian Ethnic Township, and the houses are relatively old. However, it is now being developed as a tourist destination, and it will soon be commercialized. If you want to come, you'd better do it early!

By Ami |

Beihong Village is truly the northernmost village, reaching a latitude of 53°29'. Early mornings in Beihong Village are a dreamlike spectacle, shrouded in mist, with men farming and women weaving, creating a bucolic and natural scene. Everything about the village is truly "northern," including the northernmost supermarket, the northernmost police station, the northernmost post station, and even a North Pole Primary School!

The village is also relatively close to Russia, and many buildings have Russian style, so there is also a Russian style street. The village is right on the bank of the Heilongjiang River. The river flows very fast, and occasionally driftwood floats by, with birds standing leisurely on the driftwood, which is very cute.

By confused |

Beihong Village is a small place, and you can check out all the attractions in half an hour: the northernmost outpost, the observation deck, and the church. The view of Russia across the way is actually similar to that of the Arctic Village, but it is not as relaxing here, but the originality is well preserved.

The village feels nice. It's a sparsely populated place with vast land. Every household has a front and backyard, planted with all sorts of fruits and vegetables. I counted the potatoes they planted: different varieties of purple, white, and red flowers, along with scallions, leeks, cucumbers, watermelons, pumpkins, melons, tomatoes, peppers, guava, corn... each row is meticulously tended. It's said every household here has a large guard dog, as well as chickens, ducks, and other such things.

We arrived at Red Village at 7:30. The mosquitoes here were as big as fighter jets. It hurt when they bit us! Across the river is Russia. There are only quaint houses here. Travelers choose this place instead of Arctic Village. I hope the quaint village can be preserved for a while.

Beihong Village is a small village on the bank of the Heilongjiang River. There is no entrance fee and there are many places to stay in the village. The Beihong outpost is right on the bank of the river. From here, you can see that Russia is very close across the river. Villagers often catch fish in the river.

Beihong Village is even more tranquil than Beiji Village. Smoke curls from cooking fires, and the snow in every courtyard is beautiful and natural. Many families in the village keep horses, and horse manure can be found on the roads. There's also a Beihong sentry post here. You can look at it, but photography is prohibited.

The shops outside are filled with popsicles, frozen persimmons, frozen strawberries, and frozen pears. There's also a Russian goods stand here, but I don't know if they're genuine. I've never bought any. You can buy fireworks to set off at night, but the smoke outside can be quite choking during mealtimes. Please keep warm.

It is recommended to go out after 10 pm to see the stars. They are super beautiful.

Compared with the Arctic Village, Beihong Village is more down-to-earth and less commercialized. We prefer Beihong Village and stayed in the village's homestay. At night, young friends would light a fire on the village's small roads, and everyone would keep warm together without saying anything, but it felt very warm. We stayed in Beihong Village for two days and walked around the village during the day, looking at the endless fields covered with snow and the smoke rising from the cooking stoves every year. The feeling of peace that makes people feel is indescribable.

A village further north than the Arctic Village, a more primitive village

Beihong Primary School in Beiji Town is the northernmost primary school. Several teachers stick to teaching and educating students at the northernmost tip of the country. There are only more than ten students in the school. The few seats in the classroom show that there are really not many students. Thumbs up for the teachers who stick to it.

From a geographical point of view, Beihong Village is the northernmost village. Young people will like its primitiveness and purity. It is an undeveloped village, also close to the Heilongjiang River. However, the old aunt who accompanied us felt that it was just average because the conditions were relatively difficult and the air was filled with the smell of cow dung. In fact, it is a veritable "rural area". Maybe the aunt had experienced years of farming, so she had a kind of resistance to this kind of countryside with poor transportation, underdeveloped productivity, and the whole village knowing about any little thing that happened in a family.

Arriving at Beihong Village, I witnessed my favorite sunset and the sound of fishermen singing in the evening. I can't describe the beauty of it. For me, this beauty is the most impressive and most nostalgic thing of my trip.

When we went there in 2016, it was said that the entire village had only had electricity for two years.

I was a little disappointed not to see the aurora, but even though it was -30 degrees Celsius, I decided to go for a walk after dinner. To my surprise, I could actually see star trails with the naked eye! They were incredibly close to the sky.

So close to the horizon, the sunrise was impossible to miss. It rose right at our feet. The innkeeper prepared a pot of hot water for us, and when we poured it over the water, it instantly solidified into a sheet of white ice that fell down. It was truly fun. Beyond Beihong Village was the military border, where troops were stationed.

The attraction of Beihong Village is that it is located a little further north than Beiji Village.

It is the northernmost village in China in the true sense, but because it is not as well developed as the Arctic Village and the scenery is slightly inferior, not many people go there. It is relatively simple and original, and it has the feeling of a small village.

Beihong Village is small, but houses are being built everywhere.

It takes 2 hours to drive from Beiji Village to Beihong Village. Due to the icy road, the driver drove slowly and said that under normal circumstances it would only take 90 minutes.

Looking out the window, the golden sun shone across the earth, its reflection on the snow-white ground appearing particularly dazzling. The morning in Beihong Village was tranquil, with smoke curling from the distant farmyards. In a place like this, far from the hustle and bustle of the city, one's heart felt unusually peaceful.

Beihong Village has only one long street, having been developed relatively recently. The houses along the middle street are relatively well-maintained, but many undeveloped houses can be seen on the back streets, creating a lively atmosphere and preserving the original appearance of a Northeastern rural village. The village is surrounded by arable land planted with soybeans and wheat.

There is no centralized heating here, and most families use firewood for heating, so smoke comes out of every chimney.

Beihong Village is originally a small rural village, and the local buildings, facilities and services are indeed not that complete, it feels like living in the countryside.

Beihong Village is more primitive than Beiji Village. If you have enough time, you can also stay in Beihong Village.

Beihong Village is actually an undeveloped natural village, facing Russia across the river. The buildings in the village are also very primitive. The roads are full of mud and livestock feces.

The village is not big, it serves as a resting place. You can pour water to make ice in the morning, but the food is not cheap.

It's just a small street, and you can walk straight for a few steps to the end. In fact, there are not many original old houses, and they are sparsely scattered. At first glance, there is really nothing to see. Basically, you have to eat at the house where you live. I really don't recommend living there, remember, remember.

Beihong Village is right next to the Heilongjiang River. The sunset in the evening is very beautiful. There are not many tourists in Beihong Village. It is a very quiet and peaceful village.

Compared with the commercialization and mature development of the Arctic Village, I prefer the original ecology of Beihong Village. Cows and horses can be seen everywhere, and dogs running on the road without fear of people are like entering a fairy tale world. It is very interesting to wake up in the morning and watch the smoke rising from the cabin in the morning light, and experience the Northeast kang at night.

Beihong Village has been under development for a while. When you go to Mohe Arctic Village, you can stay in Beihong Village. It is the northernmost village in the true sense.

By Bai Xiaogao |

The cost of living is not high, the people are very friendly, and you can feel the friendliness of the small village. It feels like the best place to stay for a few days!

Beihong Village is a must-see when visiting Mohe. While it doesn't offer many attractions, it boasts a well-preserved original appearance. While it's a typical small village, it offers a wide range of options, including restaurants and a small supermarket, ensuring daily necessities and daily living. Light pollution is minimal at night, making it ideal for stargazing and photographing the Milky Way. The village itself is small and can be easily explored. While there's not much to do during the day, you can enjoy the sunrise and sunset from the village's edge. The starry night sky is highly recommended; it's a must-see.

The characteristics of the north, thousands of miles of ice and snow, can satisfy all the desires for ice and snow. Beihong Village is relatively not very commercial.

At night, I stayed in Beihong Village, which still had a relatively authentic old Northeast village layout.

The landlord and his wife are very welcoming and the food they cook is delicious.

We also bought a bottle of vodka at the Mixed Blood Store to celebrate New Year's Eve.

On the second day, the landlord took us to the Heilongjiang River on a horse-drawn sleigh to watch winter fishing.

Unfortunately it wasn’t one of those big winter fishing events, just a few small fish.
