Mohe, Arctic Village & Beihong Village 4-Day Northernmost Search
Fly into Mohe and take a chartered loop tour covering the First Bend of the Heilongjiang River, Beihong Village, and Arctic Village without backtracking.
Spend the first day easing in around Mohe's urban area. On Day 2, head east along the upper reaches of the Heilongjiang River to see the First Bend of the Heilongjiang River and stay in Beihong Village. On Day 3, head west to Arctic Village to find China's northernmost point, and return via Guanyin Mountain in Yanzhigou on Day 4. This itinerary adds an extra night compared to the common 3-day route, offering stargazing opportunities in summer and a better chance of seeing the aurora in winter. There is no public transport to Beihong Village and the First Bend, so a chartered car is required. Ideal for couples and photography enthusiasts.
Winter temperatures can drop to -30°C or -40°C. Ensure your chartered vehicle is equipped with snow tires; self-driving is not recommended.
