Harbin

In depth

<p> The winter ice and snow world is the absolute star, with giant ice sculpture castles illuminated by colorful lights at night, slides, ice walls, and artworks formed by frozen river water that captivate the eyes. Renaissance-style buildings line both sides of Central Avenue's breadstone pavement. </p><p> The green roof of Hagia Sophia Church and the doves in the square are classic sights; In summer, Sun Island is lush with greenery, and you can take a boat ride on the Songhua River to feel the breeze. Don't forget to have a Madieer popsicle—eating ice at minus twenty degrees is the romance of Harbin residents </p>
