Santa

Mohe, known as China's Arctic Town, holds the record for its lowest-ever temperature of minus 52.3 Celsius (minus 62.1 Fahrenheit), on Feb. 13, 1969.

For most visitors, the highlight of a trip is the fulfilment of a long-held wish to meet Santa.

"I've achieved my childhood dream," said Huang Liwen, 30, who had travelled to Mohe from Guangdong province in southern China.

"It's a real Christmas now in Santa village, where we can see the real Santa Claus ... It was really worth the trip."
