Hey, welcome back to our adventures in China. Today is our second day in the most Northern city in China - Mohe. We are chased by a horse, can we go fast enough to outrun it?! How much will it cost to send a postcard 9000 km back to my parents in the UK? And what will the food be like in this frozen city? Let’s find out together. What do you think of Mohe, is it somewhere that you would like to visit? Would you be willing to face the extreme cold? Is it worth it?
