Harbin

Northeast China's largest ice-and-snow city, where the Harbin Ice and Snow World, Central Street and Russian-style architecture create a rich exotic atmosphere.

Harbin is the capital of Heilongjiang Province, on the Songhua River. Influenced by the Chinese Eastern Railway in modern times, it has a wealth of Russian and European architecture and is known as the "Ice City." Highlights include Central Street, St. Sophia Cathedral, the Harbin Ice and Snow World, Sun Island and the Songhua riverfront; ice lanterns and snow sculptures are the signature winter attraction, while summer is cool, ideal for escaping the heat and for music festivals. The gateways are Harbin Taiping International Airport and high-speed rail stations such as Harbin West, and the city is also the transit hub for Yabuli, the "Snow Town" and Mohe.
