Minus 52 degrees Celsius doesn’t sound like an inviting climate, but for Beiji Village in northeast China, it’s a signature feature. Renowned as the country’s coldest village, Beiji recorded China’s lowest-ever temperature, solidifying its reputation as the nation’s \"North Pole.\" For years, the harsh, frigid environment was considered a burden by local residents. However, in recent years, the very subzero temperatures that once hindered the village's progress have sparked an unexpected economic renaissance. Leveraging its unique climate, Beiji Village has transformed into a thriving tourist destination, attracting visitors intrigued by its extreme weather and captivating landscapes. This shift has not only boosted the local economy but also put Beiji Village on the map as a must-visit location in China’s diverse array of tourist spots.
