On the road, go all the way north until Mohe

Music: Fly far away

(?ω?)?Words written in front

? Like a long dream, from the south where spring flowers are blooming When the hills came to the vast forests and snowfields, when the beautiful scenery that once only existed in words was within reach, I couldn't help but search in my mind, corresponding one by one, and then look at the beautiful scenery in front of me. It seemed that there were more things. Maybe, this That’s what travel is all about.

? All the way north, here I come, with eyes looking for beauty and expectations.

@_@Some conscientious suggestions

1. Two days and one night in Harbin city is enough. For three days and two nights, we can only visit KFC and Starbucks. , McDonald's, etc. use the heating. . .

2. When visiting Mohe, you must contact the local tour guide. The tour guide includes arranging chartered cars, routes, accommodation, etc. I searched for Wenze's self-guided tour on Sina Weibo. Practice has proved that Wenze is a reliable tour guide and a photographer who was delayed by travel haha~ (The contact information is here, if you need it, you can contact us on WeChat ID: zhaowenze528)

3. Travel experience: Don’t believe the “Ice and Snow World” and other tickets sold by taxi drivers in Harbin, because it is very likely that you will go to other ice and snow worlds or Children's paradise.

4. Harbin and Mohe are not as cold as expected. Wear good clothes, hat, scarf, mask, earmuffs and gloves. The warm baby can be attached to the soles of the feet, knees and other parts of the body that are sensitive to cold. If it is not possible, Just hide in a store or car and come out when it's warm.

? If you just want a guide, then the above content is enough and you can take it away!

As for me, I always feel that I am born forgetful, and as time goes by, my memory will fade little by little. When you look through the records at this time when you get older, you may shout excitedly, "Yes, yes, it was like this at that time", or you may be pleasantly surprised and wonder, "Was this like this at that time? How could I forget." I thought, This is the meaning of recording.

? One noon in November 2017, I was eating in the cafeteria and suddenly wanted to travel during the Spring Festival. Meimei said: "Okay, to Spain? The Czech Republic? Or to Japan?"

Having never traveled abroad before, I was instantly discouraged. I thought that Qiong might have some tips for traveling to Thailand, so I suggested, "Go to Thailand!" I called Yanzi and Lao Ke, and during lunch, "Thailand is fun" The detachment was established.

"Thailand is fun" is busy applying for passports and researching guides every day. My best friend Shadow even bought me a red chiffon dress and asked me to go to Thailand to take beautiful photos. The air tickets have not been booked yet. This is really "The male god only looked at you. You have even thought about your future children studying literature."

? From November to January this year, there has been no trend of price reductions in Thai air tickets. Compared with off-season tickets, The price has doubled or tripled. Meimei said: "How about we go to Harbin, the air tickets have not increased that much."

Lao Ke couldn't let it go, so he quit temporarily, and the "Taiwan Fun" for four people became the "Looking for the North" for three people. "Group", the day after the proposal, I started buying air tickets, buying equipment, and looking at accommodation...

In a blink of an eye, the day of travel came, and winter clothes took up a lot of space, and my 22-inch suitcase was stuffed It was difficult to carry it, so I borrowed a 24-inch suitcase from the young lady. The three of us met at the airport, and I said, "Huh? We're about to leave now. It feels a bit unreal."

It was already 10:30 pm when we arrived at Harbin Airport. I felt it as soon as I got off the plane and took the shuttle bus. It's cool, so I add more clothes all the way north, dressing myself like a big fat man. Taxis at the airport are priced by shouting, so we called Didi.

The small apartment Meimei booked from Airbnb became the Harbin home for the three of us. The owner of the apartment must be a girl who loves life, with blue fabric sofas, green tatami mats, and white sheets. , clean wooden kitchenware, the cabin is small and exquisite, and there are some unexpected storage cabinets. We said that if we have our own small house in the future, we will decorate it in this way.

It’s really freezing outside in the north. It was already early in the morning when we arrived at the apartment, and it was 18 degrees below zero. The driver didn’t know the road and put us in the wrong place. We were dragging our suitcases to look for an apartment in the community at night. I was not used to the Northeastern accent. I didn’t have time to put on a mask and gloves, and I was all frozen.

For the first time, I felt the cold outdoors in the north. In sharp contrast was the warmth indoors. For several nights in Heilongjiang, I slept covered in sweat.

When going out during the day, you must wear thick pantyhose, thick clothes, and a mask, earmuffs, gloves, and scarf. We live quite far from the city, and a taxi cost about 30 yuan, so we met a lot of interesting drivers, mostly young people. A master said: "Old girls, you should go back after playing in the ice and snow world. There is really no fun in this. Really, listen to me, your south is beautiful! What are you doing here?"

Yes, we don’t know why we came to this place where there is nothing. It’s just cold. There’s only ice except snow. Besides people, there are shops selling sausages, dumplings, and Russian products all over the street. Babies are not sold cheaply.

However, southern children who have never seen snow are always full of curiosity. The snow in Harbin has been swept cleanly. Only the green belt of the community still has some snow piles, some ash, and some cannon paper, which is different from what I imagined.

We looked at the church, strolled around Central Street, and rented three chairs for skating on the Songhua River. The Songhua River in winter feels like a beach in summer, with crowds of people "making dumplings". The cold river wind made Meimei exclaim, "My toes are frozen!" After playing for a long time, she couldn't bear the cold anymore. Get ashore quickly.

I actually met Xiaoman, who "sleeps on my lower bunk" in Harbin. I haven't seen her for several years, and finally I met her Mr. He. Even though we work only a few hundred kilometers apart, The other roommates thought it was funny to meet him more than 3,000 kilometers away.

? Walking on Gogol Street, which the master said, "It's just a street, there's nothing interesting to see, it's really nothing!" From time to time, I feel like I'm in a European town, maybe because of the proximity. Russia, some buildings in Harbin have Russian style.

As a "fake literary youth", I had to go to Gogol Bookstore. When I arrived at the door of the bookstore, I met a tour guide leading a group of tourists in. It turned out that this was already a tourist attraction. The bookstore has three floors. The second floor has become a vegetable market. Only dining and taking pictures are allowed in the members' area on the third floor. I always feel that the bookstore should not be such a noisy place. I find a quieter corner and write a few postcards. We Just left.

It is said that the highlight of Harbin tourism is the Ice and Snow World. The ice and snow castle built in fifteen days, with colorful lanterns, is really beautiful.

I bought three plastic skateboards at the door. Anywhere with ice slides and snowdrifts is a place for skating or skiing. After entering the park, we all became "X three years old", climbing up and sliding down again and again, and we were very lucky. We waited in line for more than an hour to watch the "Harbin Ice Show" performance, and the team stopped us The tenth person at the back; it is said that we have to queue for more than three hours for the big slide, but we got there in less than half an hour. It is really "worth the price".

? In the world of ice and snow, I really felt like I was in a fairy tale. Although the temperature was very low and my toes were freezing, we hid in KFC to eat some chicken wings and drink a drink. Black tea, come out again and continue. I met a particularly handsome little boy at KFC, 14 months old. He kept looking at me, laughing, and played with me for five or six minutes. It is said that children’s eyes are the purest, and those who smile when they look at them will have good luck. Ha, well, this must be true~!

When we went to Harbin, the place we visited most was probably the vegetable market. We went to the Baza Market opposite St. Sophia Church twice, and originally planned to go a third time. Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough time, so I didn’t go.

Everything I saw was novel, including vegetables I had never seen before, baked eggs I had never seen before, bibimbap I had never seen before... there were many things I had never eaten before and were very appetizing.

I don’t know since when, when I go to a city, I like to spend a day walking around its streets and alleys. Without the hustle and bustle of scenic spots, I can just walk around and look around in the streets of the old city, or go to the restaurant. market, and then imagine what kind of people once lived here and what kind of stories happened here. Discover the beauty of a city from the most pyrotechnic place.

? If this trip is compared to a big meal, then Harbin can only be regarded as the "appetizer", and the trip to Mohe is the "main meal".

Because I found Wenze on Weibo before the trip, I didn’t make any strategies. I just set off with the others. I was only responsible for playing, not using my brain.

The first time I took a hard sleeper train, I bought a ticket for the upper berth. I couldn’t sit upright. I didn’t know that the train would turn off the lights at 9:30, so I stupidly sat in the aisle reading a book, waiting for the lights to turn off. Only then did he hurriedly and tremblingly climb to the upper bunk, hunched over, using his mobile phone and a small flashlight to settle himself, saying to himself "Don't go to the toilet, go to bed quickly, go to bed quickly" while listening to the roar of the train. , half asleep and half awake to the sound of the phone call from the girl in the neighboring shop.

At six o'clock in the morning, I woke up in the morning light of Mohe and found that the train windows were covered with thick ice. I looked at the thick snow outside the window covering the dead branches, and occasionally saw three or two people living in their homes. The smoke from the kitchen was curling up, which made me very excited.

? Wen Ze came to pick us up after leaving the station, and we were accompanied by two Hunan girls. What followed was a journey for six people. We went to have our first authentic Northeastern breakfast. Millet porridge and black rice porridge are really fragrant, and pickles are also really salty.

Mohe is a world of snow. Thick white snow can be seen everywhere, some on the roadside, some on the river, some covering the land, and some falling on the trees. At this point, I realized that the white snow I read in the text was like a thick quilt covering the crop fields. These are real.

? Starting from the Ussuri Shoal, the northernmost point in China, since Heilongjiang has long been frozen, we walked along the Sino-Russian border on Heilongjiang. China is on the left, Russia is on the right, and Heilongjiang is under the car. , it’s also a different kind of experience.

At our request, we stayed overnight in the northeast big kang in Beihong Village, wearing a red quilted jacket. When we sent Mom a WeChat message to show it, Mom said, "It's so beautiful!" Indeed, it was so beautiful at first sight. It has the flavor of "Country Love".

? Speaking of the special tourism project in Mohe, it is the horse-drawn sledge. I also saw a lot of dog-pulled sledges in Harbin. I thought it was cruel. Meimei comforted me and said: "They were meant to do this. Those who work must do so within their capabilities and not be cruel. "Wen Ze arranged a horse appointment for us. Early in the morning, the three of us sat on a sledge, covered with large Northeast flower quilts, and let the horses pull us to the riverside. "Winter Catch".

In addition to the horse-drawn sledge, there is also an Internet celebrity project here. I remember when I said in Harbin that I was going to Mohe, someone asked me, "Are you going to shoot Douyin?" Douyin is so popular ~ Wenze helped us boil water and urged us again and again, "Hurry up, come out and take pictures. I have boiled all the water you want to pour on me, and there is also water you will take with you to drink on the road." The fire is ready, come out quickly~"

? How can I not ski when I come to Northeast China? It is really a huge challenge for me, a "sports idiot". I felt like I was frozen when I put on my ski boots and snowboard. I couldn't control my walking. I skied three times. I fell 3 times on the first trip, 2 times on the second trip, and once on the third trip. Although calculated according to the sequence, I was sure I wouldn’t fall on the fourth trip, so I gave up because it was really embarrassing every time I fell on the snowy slope and waited for the staff to come and pull me up. . . If I have another chance in the future, I will definitely skate handsomely!

? After seeing the northernmost point, looking for the "cockscomb" on the map of the motherland, I saw a simple little house and a soldier on the Heilongjiang River opposite the Sino-Russian boundary monument No. 138. I kept walking back and forth outside, sometimes taking a look with a telescope. In this severe cold weather of minus 30 degrees, with the biting cold river wind blowing, I would like to express my praise to the cutest people. Because of the soldiers, our years are peaceful.

Overnight in Arctic Village, where there are all the "northest", including the northernmost post, the northernmost post office, the northernmost home, the northernmost passenger station... no one can name the northernmost in this place. Doubtful, and we finally touched the stone, which said "I found the north!"

With such a strong exotic atmosphere as the Christmas Village, Christmas Ski Resort, and Christmas Post Office, how could there be no reindeer? When you arrive at the reindeer park, a group of people feed "snacks" with moss to the reindeer. If the deer is in a good mood, they will take photos with you. If they are full or in a bad mood, they will be unable to hold them back.

When you come to the Northeast, how can you not talk about eating? The familiar pot-roasted pork, chicken stewed with mushrooms, pork stewed vermicelli, big noodles, Harbin beer, barbecue, sticky bean buns, iron pot stew... I have tasted all the delicacies, and sometimes I lament the exquisiteness of southern food. Northeastern food is more heavy on oil and salt. As others said, "it feels like everything is put in to stew." But my feeling is that it all has potatoes and vermicelli. Ha ha.

? The considerate Wenze also prepared special snacks for us, so that we foodies will have no regrets.

Of course, there are also Harbin specialties, popsicles that do not need to be sold in the freezer, and the most famous Madiel popsicles on the streets of Harbin. Mama Qian told Wan: "Don't eat too many popsicles on such a cold day!" But it seems that eating popsicles in the Northeast is not cold at all!

? Meimei said that as soon as I arrived in the Northeast, I hugged and hugged me in various ways. Even if they didn’t want to, I insisted on hugging them. I cried with laughter, no, I think they were very happy to take photos with me. From snow foxes to reindeer, to horses, to dogs, I just can’t resist the temptation of such cuteness.

On the day we were leaving, the songs in Wenze's car became very sad, from "Fire Girl" on the first day to "Southern Girl" on the third day, from "Go Away and Fly High" It became Yang Zongwei's "Actually None" and Yuan Yawei's "Let's Break Up". He said, "Every time I send off a friend in an issue and drive the car back alone, my heart becomes... "Empty."

We ordered a song called "Farewell Station" sung by Zhao Wei in "Love in the Rain", and all five girls could sing it. Wenze said, "Oh my god, Am I sending this to you, or are you sending it to me? ”

In fact, life is not like this. We will meet everywhere and part ways. Some people will meet again, while others will not. No more.

We met a Guangzhou girl, a Ningbo girl, and two Yangzhou boys when we shared a table for dinner in Harbin; we met a Shantou girl and a Nanjing girl while queuing at the Ice and Snow World; we were going to Mohe We met a Huzhou brother in the hard-seat carriage of the train; we met two Changsha girls in Mohe; we met a Tahe mother and son in the hard-seat carriage from Mohe to Harbin... We all had a pleasant chat, but We don’t exchange contact information because we know that after this point, we will never meet again.

Goodbye, Mohe.

Goodbye, Harbin.

Goodbye, Lin Haixueyuan.

I took away my exclusive memory of this world of ice and snow.
