On December 31, in Arctic Village, Mohebei, Heilongjiang, Li Mei's family was receiving visitors and clearing snow roads, and the room was busy. Li Mei is a native of Mohe, and after marrying from the forest farm to Arctic Village when she was young, the 53-year-old runs a homestay, and in her words, 2023 has been busy receiving people from the south to Arctic Village for vacation from the beginning to the end of the year.
Mohe Arctic Village, located in the northernmost part of China, is the first place where winter begins in China. It is cold all year round, and only about half a month in summer, and it is the only place in China where you can enjoy the "Northern Lights". The extreme minimum temperature in winter reached minus 523 degrees Celsius, a vast sea of snow, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting northern scenery.
Generally speaking, from June to August, and at the end of the year, when it is winter, we receive the most southerners, and on the day of the winter solstice, we are full. Li Mei told reporters that over the years, she has seen too many southern "little potatoes", wrapped in tight clothes, getting out of the car and walking into a half-person-high snowdrift, shouting: "It's not too cold!."”
When the first rays of the morning sun shine on the snow, the whole village is dyed with a golden glow. As the sun rises, the Arctic Village slowly wakes up, smoke curling up, and warm lights shine through the windows of every house.
Wake up in the morning to clear the snow. Li Mei sent a few **, and the snow in them had to be piled on both sides of the roadside, and a road was vacated in the middle for people and cars to pass.
In the Arctic Village, people can watch the splash and sunlight in the ice and snow, and experience the addictive "splashing water into ice" once playedYou can walk and play in the snow to your heart's content, and you can walk into the depths of the birch forest and feel what it means to be called "Linhai Snow Field".If you're lucky, you can also touch the gentle reindeer and feel the warmth and closeness they bring.
In 2023, one of the things that impressed Li Mei the most was that on December 1, the beautiful aurora descended on Arctic Village. "At that time, all the people in my store were so excited that they couldn't sleep, and they dragged me to nag all night. Li Mei recalled, "The aurora was indeed very beautiful, we drove to the edge of the Heilongjiang River, took a lot of beautiful **, and left a lot of good memories." ”
The aurora light illuminates the entire village like a dream, and people look up with happy smiles on their faces. Arctic Village is also famous for its starry sky, with bright stars set like diamonds in the deep blue night sky, attracting many photography enthusiasts to brave the cold to take pictures of the star trails.
Talking about the upcoming 2024, Li Mei sighed: "I only have a 26-year-old son who works in Qiqihar and will only come back during the New Year's holidays." Usually, she and her son communicate through *** to understand the recent situation of their relatives. "I hope that the elderly in the family are in good health, my son will find me a daughter-in-law, and the business of the homestay will continue to be as hot as in 2023, which is my biggest expectation for the new year. She said.
