Who understands! December in Mohe is truly the pinnacle of a winter fairy tale

December in Mohe is legendary! Unlock the ice splash turning to ice + aurora feast for just 3k per person❄️ Extreme romance at minus 30°C, with auroras, snowy forests, and the authentic Northeast atmosphere all included. Tested and reliable tips broken down for everyone~ 🌌Must-follow core experiences (miss it and regret for a year!) - Splashing water that instantly freezes is a must! Before 9 AM, fill a thermos with 80°C+ hot water, shoot against the light📸, and watch the mist instantly crystallize into sparkling ice fog, creating an amazing atmosphere~ - Chase the aurora in Arctic Village! Stay in a wooden cabin with an observation deck🏡, the best chance is from 10 PM to 2 AM, wrapped tightly in your down jacket waiting for the green light bands to streak across the night sky, truly healing🌠 - Birch forest hiking is breathtakingly beautiful! The birch forest in the snow looks like stepping into an ink painting🎨, wear a red coat/scarf for photos, the red and white contrast instantly creates stunning shots, any pose looks great~ - Horse-drawn sledding is so much fun! Sit on the sled pulled by horses through the snowy fields🐴, listen to the sound of hooves on snow, it feels like entering a Northeast-exclusive fairy tale~ - Check in at Christmas Village! Take photos with giant snowmen⛄, send a postcard stamped with an aurora postmark from the Christmas post office, full of ritual💌 🏠Accommodation recommendations (warm and cozy, no freezing!) - In Arctic Village, choose homestays with floor heating + private bathrooms, most include breakfast and offer carpooling🚗, hosts proactively provide warm packs and hot water, super thoughtful😌 - Want to experience the unique Northeast kang bed? Communicate with the host about the temperature in advance, it’s warm to sleep on and you can chat with locals about customs and culture~ - Avoid pitfalls! Don’t stay in places too remote, it’s inconvenient to return after aurora chasing at night. Choose accommodations near the main street within walking distance to restaurants for more convenience✅ 🍲Must-eat foods (warm your body and satisfy your cravings!) - Iron pot stewed goose is forever the best! Wrap a circle of corn cakes🌽, soak up the meat juices, super flavorful, paired with sauerkraut to cut the grease, eating this at minus 30°C warms you up completely🔥 - Frozen pears and frozen persimmons are a must-try! Soak in cold water for 10 minutes, bite into a juicy explosion💦, sweet and refreshing, a Northeast-exclusive joy only some understand~ - Di San Xian and Guo Bao Rou are intoxicating! Sweet and sour crispy Guo Bao Rou, salty and soft Di San Xian, paired with rice you can show off two big bowls🍚 - Frozen tofu hot pot is amazing! Absorbs all the broth’s essence, one bite is super satisfying, warms both body and stomach🥘 🗺️Surrounding transportation & routes (no detours!) - After arriving at Mohe Airport, you can carpool to Arctic Village (about 50 RMB per person), about 1.5 hours by car🚙 - It’s recommended to carpool or charter a car between Arctic Village, Christmas Village, and Birch Forest, as the attractions are spread out. Chartering is more flexible and worry-free~ - There is a shuttle bus from the city to Arctic Village twice daily, check the schedule in advance to avoid missing it⏰ 🎁Pitfall avoidance tips (learned from hard experience!) - Dressing formula: thermal underwear + sweater + thick down jacket + shell jacket, wear fleece-lined ski pants, snow boots + wool socks🧦, hat, scarf, gloves, and face mask are all essential! - Always bring warm packs for your phone and camera, low temperatures can cause shutdowns, keep spare batteries warm too🔋 - Exchange cash in advance, some homestays and small shops may not accept mobile payments, and signal can be unstable sometimes📶 - Drink plenty of water! The Northeast climate is dry, carry a thermos to avoid dryness and sore throat😋 🌟Summary December in Mohe is truly worth it! The romance of the aurora, the healing snowy land, and the lively food scene, every part is enchanting❄️ For just 3k per person, you can unlock a one-stop winter experience. Whether it’s a couple’s date, a trip with friends, or solo travel, you’ll gain plenty of happiness~ Pack your bags quickly and head to Mohe for a winter date!
