Beiji Village, sometimes referred to as Arctic Village—a moniker that adequately describes the village's frigid climate—is located in China's far north. At minus 52.3 degrees Celsius, it holds the national record for the lowest temperature ever recorded in China, making it one of the coldest spots in the country.
It turns out that the chilly weather is one of the numerous attractions that bring thousands of visitors to this community every year, despite the fact that these numbers may seem frightening to some. Compared to many other parts of the nation, the winter season here is a little bit longer, lasting from November until the end of April.
The main attraction in the settlement is the Arctic Square, which is home to the Shenzhou Beiji Stone Tablet and features a post office, a few eateries, and lodgings dubbed "the northernmost." Especially after the Summer Solstice, you may also be fortunate enough to see the aurora borealis.
Beiji, formerly Mohe Township, is a town located in Mohe, Daxing'anling Prefecture.
Most famous for its tourism, Beiji has three villages: Beiji Village (the northernmost village in China and seat of government), Beihong Village, Luoguhe Village, and Oroqen Ethnic Village.
As this region has a subarctic climate and discontinuous permafrost, there isn't much agriculture. However, blueberries grow wild here and there is quite an industry for blueberry products such as candies, jams, juices, and wines (including ice wine). Tourists can buy postcards and souvenirs at the northernmost post office.
