Beiji Village (Arctic Village)

北极村

One of the northernmost villages in China, home to a cluster of “northernmost” check-in spots, including the northernmost post office and the northernmost household.

Beiji Village lies in Beiji Town, Mohe City, on the bank of the Heilongjiang (Amur) River. It is the main destination for visitors to Mohe, and the entire village is a national 5A-level scenic area. The village preserves log-frame houses and northeastern farmhouse courtyards. Attractions include the “Arctic of Shenzhou” stone carving, the northernmost post office (where you can mail postcards stamped with a “northernmost” postmark), the northernmost household, Seven Stars Square, the Golden Rooster Crest sculpture, the Arctic Observation Tower and the border-port tourist pier on the Heilongjiang riverbank. In winter, the whole village is covered in snow and smoke rises from the roofs, making it a classic fairy-tale snow village. In summer, the riverbank is cool, and the crowds peak during the Summer Solstice Festival. The scenic area charges admission and has electric carts. Check the official notices for prices. There are many family guesthouses in the village. Staying overnight in winter lets you experience the extreme-cold night sky and clear-morning rime ice. The drive from Mohe city center by hired car takes about 1.5 hours.
