Legend has it that the Sun Stone is the elixir left behind when the Great Lord Taishang made the elixir. Jin Taizu when he was a teenager, in order to get inspiration, he sharpened the knife on the stone; adult, with the generals in the stone coated with ash (at that time, the gold army combat before the military meeting of senior generals, dust as paper, twigs as a pen, outlining the roadmap of the march, after the meeting without leaving traces of rubbing the ash) extermination of Liao and attacked the Song Dynasty; Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army, General Li had led the people to rest in the place. There is a saying that the fire warms the chest and the wind cools the back. Of course, these claims are folklore, no official testimony.

[My tip]
It is easier for you to shoot the uninhabited landscape in the early morning. It summer is great to watch the fountains open in the square. If it this is a family trip you can choose to buy a few pigeons and feed them. The locals don't I don't go to church, so it's more appropriate to have a small station parallel to Central Avenue.

[My tip]
Harbin Station is not far from Gogol Street. Remember, we squeezed into Harbin's busiest shopping street on a 15-minute walk from Youth Square. Indeed, the European art style adds to the elegant beauty of the city. Then, we departed from the Asian Cinema, one of the luxury theaters, and then went to the daily street scene on Gogol Street. This way, we didn't waste too much time and basically saw all the sights.
