Mohe Hot Springs, located in Mohe, Heilongjiang Province, China, offers a unique thermal experience. The site features chloride-rich waters, traditionally associated with relaxation. Visitors can relax and unwind in the natural hot springs. The area is also rich in history and culture.
Insider tip — Mohe Hot Springs sit at China's northernmost point near the Russian border, where the Amur River bends through the boreal taiga and temperatures can plunge to -40°C in winter. Soaking in these sodium-chloride springs under the aurora borealis — visible on clear winter nights — is one of China's most extreme thermal experiences. The stark contrast between the frigid subarctic landscape and the steaming pools makes this destination utterly unlike any other in the country.
