Arctic Sandbar

　　  The Arctic Sandbar is a large comprehensive scenic area that integrates natural and cultural landscapes. It was formed after the great flood of 1958, which was the most devastating flood in the history of the Arctic Village. At its peak, the water level reached over 190 meters, submerging the entire village and causing tremendous hardship for local residents. After the flood, several rivers changed their courses, leading to the formation of the sandbar. Today, the ground remains largely covered in fine sand, as the lighter black soil was washed away by the flood, leaving behind a significant amount of fine sand.

　　  Within the sandbar, there are numerous attractions including the Rare Animals Gallery, Body Measurement Gate, Oroqen Altar, Pictographic “North” Character Sculpture, Northernmost Point, Seven-Star Altar, and Xuanwu Altar, along with rest pavilions along the way. Located in the “northernmost of the north,” this area features a unique style and has attracted a continuous stream of visitors since its completion. Visiting the Arctic Village without coming to the Sandbar means you haven’t truly been to the northernmost point; and if you don’t take a photo here, you haven’t truly captured a souvenir of the north.
