Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis were captured turning the night sky pink and green across China's northernmost Mohe City, wowing tourists and shutterbugs.

Following a G3 (strong) geomagnetic storm, the spectacle spanned from Sunday night to early Monday morning in the country's "Arctic town" of Mohe and the Jiagedaqi District of the Greater Hinggan Mountains, located in the northeastern province of Heilongjiang.

The auroras visible to the naked eye were mainly red and green emissions, illuminating the northern part of the sky with a dazzling display of light and color. Sparkling stars and ice floes floating along the Heilongjiang River also added to the awe-inspiring scenery.

Visitors said they were lucky to witness the rare phenomenon.

"We encountered the northern lights the first day we arrived here. There were red auroras at the beginning, which faded away about half an hour later. We thought it was over, but then the green aurora appeared. We quickly took out our phones and took photos of everything worth seeing. It was awesome and very beautiful. The whole sky was painted in red, and then it turned green," said Zhang Yanzhi, a tourist.

Aurora Borealis is caused by electrically charged particles coming into the Earth's magnetic field and colliding with atoms and molecules in the atmosphere. They usually appear high in the night sky in areas near the Earth's north and south poles, but can also be seen in mid- and high-latitude areas when powerful geomagnetic storms occur.

Mohe, the northernmost Chinese city, is a sought-after destination for photography enthusiasts aspiring to capture northern lights. The city has recorded Aurora Borealis multiple times since the start of this year.
