Local authorities took various measures to effectively respond to the snowy weather. The snowfall created breathtaking winter scenery, attracting numerous visitors eager to enjoy the sights and engage in snowball fights, marking the beginning of winter tourism in Heilongjiang Province.
As the morning unfolded, delicate snowflakes began to fall, quickly enveloping Mohe in a blanket of white.

At this rate, we might be working late into the evening,” said Cui Tiantian, a staff member at the tire shop.
The snowfall transformed Mohe into a winter wonderland, captivating tourists who ventured into the pristine forests to admire the snow and take pictures in the enchanting landscape. “Just yesterday, we were in the North Pole Village enjoying sunny weather, and this morning we woke up to a stunning view of the snow. It’s absolutely fantastic,” shared Li Xiaohong, a visitor from Fujian.
“This is my first time seeing snow, and it’s like a dream,” exclaimed Zhu Shaohui, a visitor from Guangdong in her thirties.
