Gugenhe in Inner Mongolia is known as an extremely cold city. The average temperature throughout the year is minus 5.3 degrees, and the lowest can reach about minus 58 degrees.
Gugenhe in Inner Mongolia has always been known as an extremely cold city. It feels very cold and requires heating for 9 months of the year. The city with the longest heating time in the country. While we in the south still need to turn on the air conditioner and cover ourselves with blankets in the summer, Gugen River has already started heating on September 1, and this year the heating date is three days earlier than usual. It is the first city in the country to start heating. It is in a slightly mild climate for only a very short three months of the year, and the remaining nine months are long and cold winter. The vegetable vendors in the morning market have already put on thick military coats, cotton shoes and scarves, while mothers rushing to send their children to school have wrapped themselves and their children in rich clothes.
The feeling of winter entering from early September can only be seen in Gugenhe City, Inner Mongolia. Even in the Northeast, it is a relatively cool autumn.
Perhaps local residents are used to such cold and long winters, but in the eyes of people in other cities, such a place is really not suitable for living. But with the popularity of heating and the improvement of house construction here, as long as it is indoors, it is actually not much different from other places. In an area with long winter and no summer, spring and autumn are connected, and the unique winter landscape seems to be in a fairy tale world.
Imagining that in an extremely cold place like this, there should be ice everywhere, but the strange thing is that although it is freezing cold, you can see that the lake water is still flowing in some places. It's like flowing liquid, not frozen, and this winter landscape seems to be a road leading to wonderland. Is it the road to the river god or the wetland?
People who have adapted to the local temperature feel that it will be very comfortable if the temperature rises to about minus 20 degrees, and the local reindeer culture and hunting culture are very unique.
