Welcome to Harbin in the Northeast of China, Heilongjiang province. It’s a magic city in China that despite being on -20C everyone eats ice cream. Current temperature is around -20C and I want to show you around! Harbin was built by Russians in 19th century, and today you can see Russian legacy on each and every corner of this city! I want to show you how Russians influence the culture, cuisine and the architecture in the city. Starting from the Russian or European architecture to Russian shops and cuisine! While being on the -20C all you eat is Russian borscht, bread and Russian sausages with Chinese touch! On this video I want to show you the magic of amazing Harbin that right now is my top city in China but also Russian legacy here. All you can buy from Russia but also things they left here as important monuments, buildings, and touch of the cuisine too! Welcome to Harbin in the north of China. Today Harbin is a symbol of ice and snow, following the famous and unique Ice city in Harbin, which you can watch now on my videos on the channel too.
