This episode of Little Chinese Everywhere's travel vlog follows his journey to China's northernmost village, Beihongcun, located near the border with Russia. The video begins in Mohe city, the northernmost city in China, where Little Chinese Everywhere picks up his scooter, a crucial mode of transportation given the limited and slow public transport options in this sparsely populated region. The vastness of the Daxing'Anling region, comparable in size to Austria yet with only around 300,000 inhabitants, is highlighted, explaining the lack of high-speed rail. The harsh subarctic climate, with winters lasting seven months and temperatures plummeting below -40°C, is another significant factor.
His journey takes him through challenging roads, often damaged by the extreme temperature fluctuations. The landscape transforms into a stunning display of autumn colors, with golden leaves appearing earlier than in other parts of China. Little Chinese Everywhere's unique experience includes an overnight stay in a guesthouse, where he enjoys the traditional kang stove bed, a heated bed that warms the entire room. He interacts with locals, including a woman who is surprised to find him traveling alone, and a family who shares insights into the history of intermarriage between Chinese and Russian communities in the border region.
The vlog showcases the local lifestyle, including a communal WeChat group where villagers share and sell their fresh catches of fish. He joins a group of motorbikers, sharing a meal and continuing their journey towards Mangui, Inner Mongolia, passing through the Ikesama National Forest Park. Along the way, he encounters a moose, a highlight of his trip. The video also documents a mushroom-hunting expedition in the forest, where Little Chinese Everywhere and his newfound biker friends collect various types of mushrooms, later seeking the opinion of a restaurant manager on their edibility. The episode concludes with a celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival in Shiwei port, enjoying a traditional Northeastern iron-pot stew and mooncakes. Throughout the video, Little Chinese Everywhere's personal experiences, interactions with locals, and observations about the unique environment and culture of this region are vividly portrayed. His resilience and adventurous spirit shine through as he navigates the challenges of traveling in such a remote and extreme environment.
