Mohe in Heilongjiang, China, is known for being one of the places where you can witness the Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis. The Northern Lights are a natural light display that occurs in high-latitude regions near the Arctic and Antarctic Circles.

Mohe’s northern location and clear skies during certain times of the year make it a suitable location to observe this mesmerizing phenomenon. The best time to see the Northern Lights in Mohe is typically during the winter months when the nights are longest and the skies are darkest. It’s always a good idea to check the specific times and conditions with local experts or resources dedicated to aurora forecasting for the most accurate information.
