Harbin

道外中华巴洛克

Daowai Chinese Baroque The Chinese Baroque Historical and Cultural District is located in Jingyu Street, Daowai District. It is the largest and best-preserved Chinese Baroque architectural complex in China and is also a national-level historical and cultural district. The so-called "Chinese Baroque" is a unique style created by Harbin merchants in the early 20th century based on the Western Baroque style, integrating Chinese courtyard houses, auspicious carvings and other elements. It has a front store and a house in the west, and is known as an "open-air architectural museum". Public transportation: Walk about 200 meters from the "Chinese Baroque Street Station" on Metro Line 3, or take the bus to the "Daowai Sandao Street" or "Jingyang Street" stations.

冰雪大世界

Harbin Ice and Snow World is an ice and snow theme park open in winter, featuring large ice and snow buildings, lights and seasonal entertainment projects. Its opening dates and projects will change depending on the temperature and current schedule.

太阳岛

Sun Island Sun Island is located on the north bank of the Songhua River. It is a national 5A-level scenic spot and the "urban back garden" of Harbin. It has a vast area and integrates wetlands, lakes, forests and Russian-style buildings. Admission to the park is free, but there are separate charges for the Russian-style town, giant panda pavilion, deer garden and other projects inside the park. In winter, a snow expo is held on the island, where you can view giant snow sculptures.

中央大街

Central Street Central Street is located in Daoli District. It starts from Jingwei Street in the south and ends at the Flood Control Memorial Tower in the north. It is about 1,450 meters long and paved with about 870,000 "bread stones". It is the first pedestrian street in Asia and is also known as the open-air "Architectural Art Museum". European-style buildings such as Baroque, Renaissance, and Eclecticism are gathered on both sides of the street. Among them, the Madier Hotel (1906), Matsuura Bank, and Wanguo Bank are all century-old buildings, which condense Harbin's modern history of opening up to the outside world. Public transportation: Metro Line 2 "Central Street Station" is within walking distance, or you can take the bus to "Central Street" or "Flood Control Memorial Tower" station.

圣索菲亚大教堂

Hagia Sophia Hagia Sophia is located at No. 88 Toulong Street, Daoli District. It was built in 1907. It was originally a church for the Tsarist Russian Army. It was rebuilt in 1923 and completed in 1932. It was once the largest Orthodox church in the Far East. The church is in Byzantine style, with clear red brick walls and a green "onion" dome. It is now open to the public as the Harbin Architectural Art Museum and is a city landmark. Public transportation: Take Metro Line 2 to "Shangzhi Street Station" and walk for about 10 minutes, or take the bus to "Architectural Art Square" station.

松花江·斯大林公园

Songhua River and Stalin Park Stalin Park is located on the south bank of the Songhua River, close to the north end of Central Street. It was originally called "Riverside Park". It was renamed in 1953 and is distributed in a strip along the river. The Flood Control Memorial Tower in the park was built in 1958 to commemorate the people of Harbin's victory over the catastrophic flood in 1957. The reliefs on the tower record the history of flood resistance and is a landmark along the Songhua River. Along the river, you can overlook the Middle East Railway Bridge (Laojiang Bridge) and Sun Island on the other side.

圣·索菲亚教堂

The huge green dome and red brick volume of St. Sophia Church record the formation of the Orthodox community in Harbin with the development of the railway era. After conservation and restoration, the original church became an architectural art museum instead of a parish church that is still in use. The photos and urban construction materials in the museum help visitors understand it within the historical landscape composed of railway institutions, synagogues, commercial blocks, and Chinese and foreign residential buildings.

太阳岛风景区

Sun Island is located on the north bank of the Songhua River. It is a large-scale river island landscape composed of wetlands, woodlands, gardens and cultural facilities. It is a green space outside the central city in summer and hosts important snow sculpture activities in winter, but seasonal products cannot be confused with year-round parks; the broad scale also helps understand the role of Songhua River in urban ecology, leisure and Jiangbei development.

哈尔滨冰雪大世界

Harbin Ice and Snow World is an ice and snow landscape redesigned and constructed every season, including lighted ice buildings, large-scale snow sculptures, performances and winter activities. It is not a permanent monument and is rebuilt each time, so pictures from previous years are not representative of the layout of the next one; this project shows how cold weather, ice harvesting techniques, lighting and mass entertainment can combine to form temporary urban-scale works of art.

侵华日军第七三一部队罪证陈列馆

Through archives, artifacts, archaeology and preserved buildings, this museum and its associated sites document Unit 731's biological-warfare program, human experimentation and war crimes. It is a place of remembrance and historical responsibility, not an entertainment attraction. The exhibits can be distressing; allow enough time, visit quietly and treat the people represented with respect.
