Discover Harbin
Harbin, with its fabulous winter sceneries of ice and snow and Russian-flavored city landscape, delivers the most exciting winter adventures.
The rich history and special location neighboring Russia brought this city plenty of Western architecture in styles of Russian, Baroque, and Byzantine, hence the title “Oriental Moscow”. Besides, Harbin also enjoys the fame of “Ice and Snow City” as one of the hottest destinations worldwide for winter vacation with its grandiose annual Ice and Snow Festival.
