[Travel Notes | Mohe #2.0] I never imagined that I would have the opportunity to see the scenery here with my own eyes

【Today is a holiday】

"Today! Day! Yes! Rest! Day!"

To be honest, the world outside and inside are completely different.

The heating at the Mohe B&B where I live is about 20 or so.

But the weather forecast showed that the weather at that time was also over 20 degrees, but there was a minus sign.

The most terrible thing is that although it is more than 20 degrees below zero

Being in the center of the Daxingan Mountains, surrounded by various forests, the temperature feels far above minus 20 degrees.

Starting today is the real start of the journey to Mohe.

The endless road, the snow-white road, and the soil buried in snow

These are scenes I have never seen before, having lived in the South for more than 20 years.

The cold seemed to have frozen time, and the whole city seemed extremely comfortable.

It might be a holiday, or it might be because there are few people around. After all, Mohe is just a county-level unit.

There are no students carrying books or social animals carrying briefcases.

What you can see are the elderly people traveling with them and the workers shoveling snow.

It is basically impossible to see the road markings on this kind of icy and snowy road.

Moreover, the snow and fog raised by the vehicle in front will have a certain impact on the driver of the vehicle behind.

It also affects me in the same way

Only by being here yourself can you understand the meaning of the word "Snow Country"

I have forgotten where we went for our first stop. I only know that it took almost two hours to drive from the county seat.

It was really hard along the way. After all, the time difference in the north or the sunset time is so different from that in the south.

At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, it's almost completely dark. The whole body's biological clock is messed up.

Moreover, the weather is too cold. In contrast, the heater in the car is so comfortable that I feel even more sleepy.

The attraction at the first stop is said to be an attraction, but it is actually an observation deck where you can see the entire Mohe River.

Climb to the highest point and freeze until the warm baby is hard and no longer generates heat.

What's more, my Xiaomi Mi 9 and action camera were frozen to the point where they lost power and shut down.

There really is a feeling here of soldiers stationed on the frontier in ancient times.

It's so deserted that even the snow has no trace of being stepped on.

All we saw was a forest of white birches and a train coming from Russia.

The only thing you hear is the sound of the train's whistle as it passes by.

There is actually a small detail deep in the birch forest, a specially built squirrel shed.

It was my first time to come into close contact with a squirrel. And their squirrels don’t seem to be afraid of people.

If you walk in there, they'll even come and smell your hands.

Then the barbed wire lying in front of you seems to want you to touch it.

But I don’t dare touch stray cats and dogs, let alone wild squirrels. I will immediately give you a rabies warning.

To be honest, I ran away after staying in that place for a while.

Because the snow there is really too deep

As soon as I stepped in, the snow went up to my knees and ran along the shoe buckle into the shoe and then melted.

It feels really uncomfortable, like it's raining heavily and your shoes get wet.

The key is that this is still ice water

I can't even feel the warmth from the fleece shoes I'm wearing.

I even felt that the water had frozen inside my shoes after staying there for too long.

The food we eat is a typical small restaurant in Northeast China. Although it is a small restaurant, it is very expensive and the price is comparable to Starbucks.

Then an old friend came ⭐Potato stew⭐

Real potatoes were present throughout my entire trip to Mohe. Potatoes were included in every meal I ate.

The second is chicken stewed with mushrooms, although I don’t know why I want to eat this dish.

Maybe it was because I heard the name of this dish before in fifth grade and thought it was interesting, so I was particularly impressed.

Then the problem came and I wanted to use the restroom. I asked and found out that they didn’t have a restroom, only dry toilets.

At first I didn’t know where the dry toilet came from until I went there myself

It shocked me for a whole year...it's hard to express that feeling. To put it bluntly, I shook my head when I saw it.

Another point is that the place where we eat is above the big heated floor.

Since I’m going to use the heated ondol, I definitely need slippers, but my warm shoes are airtight and make my feet sweaty.

Let’s not mince words. To put it bluntly, it’s just foot odor. A little trick to kill someone every day.

Another point is that you have to sit cross-legged to eat on the heated ondol, just like eating Japanese food.

After a long time, I wanted to stretch my legs and accidentally kicked someone else.
