Although nighttime temperatures have dropped to around minus 30 degrees Celsius in China's northernmost city Mohe, the cold has not stopped visitors from embracing the magic of winter nights.
As darkness falls, Beiji Village glows under colorful lights that bring snow sculptures to life in vivid hues. Tourists gather in the square to dance together and capture romantic fireworks on camera, turning the frigid evening into a lively celebration.
"It's wonderful. Even though it's minus 30 degrees Celsius, everyone is dancing with great enthusiasm, and it is warm. There are so many fun activities here. The snow sculptures are adorable and beautiful," said Qin Xue, a visitor.
To cater to skiing enthusiasts, local resorts have opened night skiing for the first time this year, adding new slopes to extend the thrill after sunset.
Indoors, live band performances gave travelers a warm place to relax, rounding out Mohe's growing menu of nighttime attractions.
