Arctic Village Peak Yuezhiyue Hotel

Arctic Village Peak Yuezhiyue Hotel is a mid-range hotel at No. 13 Binjiang Avenue inside Beiji (Arctic) Village in Beiji Town, Mohe, Heilongjiang province, China. Mohe is China's northernmost county-level city, and Beiji Village sits near the Heilong (Amur) River border with Russia, at a latitude of about 53.5 degrees north. The village is the usual base for visitors hoping to see the aurora borealis, which is occasionally visible here, and for the midsummer white nights around the June solstice, when twilight lasts almost through the night. Mohe is remote, and reaching it normally involves a flight to Mohe Gulian Airport or a long overland journey from Harbin, so visitors should plan transport carefully. The hotel is a practical, small-scale property rather than a landmark building, in keeping with the modest tourism infrastructure of the village, where many buildings imitate northern log-cabin styles. Guest rooms are offered as Standard Room and Family Room categories, and the listed amenities include a restaurant, heating and wifi. Heating is the essential feature, since winter temperatures in Mohe can fall to around minus 40 degrees Celsius, among the coldest in China. Dining is centered on the hotel restaurant, which typically serves northeastern Chinese home-style dishes, and the village has additional small restaurants, some serving local freshwater fish and forest produce. No pool or spa is listed. The service character is friendly and domestic-oriented, so English support is likely to be limited and translated addresses and a translation app are useful. Published rates run about CNY 350 to 900 per night (roughly $52 to $134), with the highest prices around midsummer and during the deep-winter aurora season. The hotel suits independent travelers, families and photographers wanting a simple base in the Arctic Village scenic area, and early booking is advisable during the short peak seasons.
