BEIJING, Oct. 14 (Xinhua) — A cold cyclone hit Mohe, China's northernmost city, on Monday, Oct. 13, sending the temperature to minus 22.6 degrees Celsius, marking the city's coldest day since early autumn, chinanews.com.cn reported, citing the local meteorological service.
Due to the cold weather on both banks of the Chinese-Russian border river Heilongjiang (Amur), a stunning phenomenon has appeared in the city of Mohe – frost on the trees, attracting many tourists who want to enjoy the picturesque landscape and take spectacular photos and selfies.
Mohe City, administratively located in the Greater Khingan Region of Heilongjiang Province, is located at the northernmost edge of China's territory, earning it the nickname "China's North Pole." It's also known as the "City of the Northern Lights," as it's the only place in China where the phenomenon can be observed. The average annual temperature here is -3.5 degrees Celsius, with a maximum temperature of -53 degrees Celsius.
The drop in temperatures since October has created favorable conditions for a revival of winter tourism in the city. At China's northernmost ski resort, the Mohe Northern Lights Ski Resort, snow cannons are roaring, and staff are working overtime to open its doors to ski enthusiasts as soon as possible.
Forecasters predict that temperatures in Mohe may rise slightly in the next few days, but the minimum daily temperature will still remain below minus 10 degrees Celsius. -0-
