Arctic village is not only an ancient town with a long history, but also a symbol and a coordinate. Every year, many people come here for sightseeing from all over the world, especially during the summer solstice. Because it is the best time to watch the Northern Lights from summer to the clear sky in Wan Li in late autumn.

When you arrive at the Arctic Village, almost everyone will think of one thing-looking for the North, and journalists are no exception. The owner of Qinfang Garden was born and raised in Arctic Village and knew everything here like the back of his hand. He told reporters that Arctic Village is the northernmost part of China. "Go north along the road, the northernmost point is between Heilongjiang and the Woods, and you can't get there unless you walk."
There is a beautiful legend between an old couple and seven maids. The seven maids are Chixia, Orange Lotus, Yellow Clothes, Emerald, Basket Clothes, Niqing and Luz. They are responsible for fetching water for the Queen Mother of the West. It is said that people in the Arctic Village can often see colorful bands dancing in the sky every summer to Sunday night, which is the so-called Northern Lights. People say that all seven maids of the Queen Mother of the West have come back to visit their parents.
In order to commemorate them, there is an extra festival called Summer Solstice Festival every year on this day. According to the custom of the Arctic Village, people will spontaneously come to the Heilongjiang River, light bonfires and wait for the appearance of the Northern Lights while dancing. Even if the northern lights are not seen every year, people will still come to the Heilongjiang River and wait for their daughters to come home.
