Chinese City with a Strong Russian Heritage | Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province [2023]

Went out to do a little exploring. In this video we'll visit a city in the far northeast of China called Harbin, or sometimes spelled 'Haerbin' (å“ˆå°”æ»¨å¸‚) located in China's northeasternmost province of Heilongjiang (é»‘é¾™æ±Ÿçœ). This region, the northeast, is referred to as 'dongbei' (ä¸œåŒ—) in Mandarin and it consists of three provinces: Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang Provinces.

This city has a very unique history and a heavy Russian influence that lasts until today (predominantly in the architecture). There was once a time in China, and it wasn't all that long ago, where one could have seen people from many different nationalities walking the streets of Harbin. Nowadays, things have changed. I did not see ANY other obvious 'foreigners' there during my visit.

Some places we visited in this video were:
St. Sophia's Church
Zhongyang Pedestrian Street
The Songhua River
Stalin Park
