Harbin travel guide

China · Top sights · trending spots

Harbin was laid out by Russians building the railway across Manchuria from 1898, which is why Central Street is cobbled and lined with stone facades and St Sophia stands onion-domed in the middle of it.

The Ice and Snow World, built each winter from blocks cut out of the Songhua river, is a city of lit ice towers. The cold is serious — twenty below is normal — and the food, sausage, sour cabbage and Russian bread, is built for it.
