Harbin
From majestic Russian cathedrals and churches, Red Army monuments to a charming winter wonderland, Harbin is termed the Moscow of the Orient. It is the capital of the Heilongjiang province and a destination often overlooked.
A city built by the Russians in the late 1890s, Russian architecture and design stands out the most in this city. The best time to visit Harbin is between December to February as the Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival would be in full swing with beautiful and intricate ice sculptures on display.
