China Cold Pole Village
中国冷极村
A snow-and-ice themed village in Jinhe Town, Genhe, about 13 km from the China Cold Pole. Winter highlights include throwing water that freezes instantly, ice-and-snow parks and cold-pole hot springs.
China Cold Pole Village is located in Jinhe Town, Genhe city, about 55 km from Genhe city centre. It is the village closest to China's Cold Pole, with an average annual temperature of about -5°C, and in winter, nights often fall below -40°C. In winter, the village offers an ice-and-snow park, snowmobiles, horse-drawn sleds, the throw-water-and-watch-it-freeze experience and cold-pole hot springs. Log-cabin guesthouses let you experience a night in the extreme-cold forest. Summer is quieter, with forests and wetlands to enjoy. Driving here in winter requires snow tyres and anti-freeze measures, so it is advisable to hire a local vehicle. Camera and phone batteries drain very quickly in the cold, so keep spare power sources close to your body.
