While most would bundle up at home, thrill-seekers are turning China's frosty frontier into a playground! Mohe – dubbed China's 'Arctic City' – is seeing record tourism numbers this December despite mercury plunging to -30°C (-22°F) after dark. ❄️
Visitors are chasing the magical dance of aurora borealis (yes, you can see them here!), while daytime adventures include ice sculpture workshops and husky sledding. At night, resorts glow with heated glass igloos where travelers sip hot cocoa under starry skies – think hygge meets winter expedition vibes. 🌌☕
"It's like stepping into a snow globe," said Singaporean traveler Jia Wei, 28, while posing in a heated bubble tent. Local businesses report a 40% surge in bookings compared to last winter, with hot spring resorts and ice hotels trending on Douyin.
Pro tip for adventurers: The annual Mohe Ice Festival kicks off next week, featuring frozen castle light shows and subzero dance parties! 🕺💃
