Harbin is the capital and largest city of Heilongjiang Province, and the provincial capital with the largest administrative area in China. Located in the southern part of Heilongjiang Province, at the southern end of the Songnen Plain, the Songhua River passes through the city. It has a long history here, and the two dynasties of Jin and Qing originated from this. Religious buildings of Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Judaism and Christianity (Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant) coexist here, showing an attitude of inclusiveness between Eastern and Western cultures, and the vastness of the city.
Central Street, one of Harbin’s landmarks, combines four styles of Renaissance, Baroque, Eclecticism and Modernism. The works of the four most prestigious architectural genres in the history of Western architecture stand solemnly on the edge of this 1450-meter-long street with a width of 21.34-meters.
Such a city has the reputation of “Oriental Moscow” and “Oriental Little Paris”.
