Hagia Sophia? I have seen countless photos of Hagia Sophia on the Internet, but I still feel very shocked when I really come to my eyes. This Orthodox Church, which was founded in 1907, is the best-preserved Byzantine building in China, full of romantic exoticism and magnificent at first glance.
Today's Hagia Sophia Cathedral in Harbin is no longer a place of worship, but a "Harbin Architectural Art Museum", which tells the history of Harbin through exhibition boards. Tickets to visit 20 yuan, but unfortunately the interior of the church is under maintenance, so it is impossible to visit.
The big square next to the church and the surrounding shopping malls are also worth visiting.
Spectacular steel tower gallery.
Central street? The central street in Harbin is a bustling commercial pedestrian street, and almost all friends who come to Harbin for the first time will punch in. Although almost every city has such a shopping mall, the central street in Harbin still has its own uniqueness. This street built at 1900 was designed and built by Russians. The buildings on both sides of the street include European architecture such as Renaissance and Baroque. In the process of walking, you will feel that you are in Europe.
The total length of the Central Street is 1.2km, and only a cross section shaped like bread can be seen on the ground. It is durable and unique, and it has been intact for a hundred years. When these bread stones were built, the value of each stone was an ocean, so this central street can be described as an inch of land.
For students in the south, winter without snowflakes is not perfect. However, in the northern ice city, there is not only snow everywhere, but also countless snow sculpture and crystal clear ice sculptures. The central shopping mall on Central Street is carving ice sculptures at the entrance. This is the first time I have seen such a scene from the south.

Founded in 1906, no matter what season comes, there are always a large number of foodies queuing in front of the door. Probably only Mattel has such charm that it can attract countless food purchases in winter.
The original popsicle with five yuan each is rich in milk and tastes really good, but be careful to stick your lips in cold weather. ? To say that the central street is attractive, it is not only the characteristic buildings on both sides of the street, but also the popular Chinese western restaurants such as Huamei Restaurant and Portman Western Restaurant, as well as the delicious Mattel Popsicle. These are the reasons why many tourists come here.
After visiting the central street, go back to the hotel and have a rest. You can also enjoy the magnificent urban landscape outside the window and the charming river view on the Songhua River. The Songhua River in winter is covered with ice and snow, which is a magnificent sight that cannot be seen in the south. ? By the way, dinner was also settled in the hotel. I'm really tired after shopping all day. ? Harbin roast cold noodles, pancake fruit, northeast mutton kebabs, leek boxes, 18% off steamed buns ... don't think that such fireworks snacks must be found at roadside stalls.
