New vision of grassroots influence Xiao Xiake (tourism expert)
Heilongjiang is in the northeastern border of China's territory. Harbin was the birthplace of the Jin and Qing dynasties in Chinese history. In modern times, because the Russians built railways here, the city appearance became very European, so the provincial capital Harbin can be called "Eastern Moscow." This article will introduce important attractions in Harbin city. As long as they are ancient buildings, most of them show Russian style everywhere.
Relative location of the main attractions in Harbin city
First of all, starting from the most famous Hagia Sophia Church, it is close to Central Street , and is the largest Orthodox church in the Far East. The church has now been opened as a Harbin Architectural Art Museum and no longer exercises religious functions. The foundation was laid and built in 1907. It was originally a full-wood structure church. In 1912, brick walls were laid on the outside of the log wall to form a brick-wood structure church. The roof was painted with green paint on the iron roof. In 1986, it was listed as a Class I protected building in Harbin City and was listed as a national key cultural relic protection unit in 1996. In 2007, it won the National 4A-level tourist attraction. The church is in the shape of Latin cross, symmetrical north and south. Four brick stacks are formed at the intersection of the crosses, with round drum seats on top, and a giant dome. The outer cover is covered with a "onion head"-shaped hole-top top, and a cross is covered. The church combines Byzantine architectural style (the plane is cross-shaped; the square room has a dome on the piers; the central large dome and four small domes on four sides) and the Russian folk wooden architectural style ("onion head" and "tent roof"), and is a Russian Orthodox church with a clean shape and authentic style (Wikipedia). The church stands in Harbin with its magnificent momentum and is a landmark building in Harbin. There are many pigeons flying here in the square, surrounded by modern shopping malls, and a large number of tourists from all over the world come here to visit every day.
Harbin City has many churches because there are many people in Belarus. The "Catholic Church" was built in 1931 and was originally named Alexeyev Church. It is an Orthodox church. It is a typical Russian-style building with a brick and wood structure, with a cross-shaped symmetrical layout, and the front gate faces westward. There are two floors above and below, the upper floor is a place for religious activities, and the lower floor is a place for bishops and priests to work and eat and board. The roof has a baroque tower, an onion-headed bell tower and an Catholic , and there is a cross above the bell tower, tower and Catholic chapel. It was renovated in 1980 and was changed to a Catholic church. It is currently the location of the Heilongjiang Provincial Catholic Patriotic Association, the Harbin Municipal Catholic Patriotic Association and the Heilongjiang Provincial Catholic Academic Affairs Committee. Harbin is famous for its unique architecture, and the church is like pearls in a complex of buildings. The unique culture of the church exudes its unique charm, creating the unique charming landscape of Harbin, a tourist city, making the church no longer just a place for religious worship, but a must-visit place for many tourists.
" Dragon Tower " refers to the Heilongjiang Province Radio and Television Tower and is a landmark building in Harbin. The tower is 336 meters high and is a famous tall steel tower in Asia. He was officially approved to join the World Tower Association in 2008. It is a comprehensive multi-functional tower integrating radio and television launch, tourism, catering and entertainment, advertising and wireless communication. It is rated as a national AAAAA tourist attraction, and the tower is composed of a spherical crown of the first underground floor and four above ground floors. The tower body is octagonal, the tower body is parabolic, and the middle is a cylindrical shaft. It is surrounded by seven silver-white aluminum alloy plates and nine dark blue coated glass. It is equipped with a sightseeing elevator running 2.5 meters per second. The tower is located between 181 and 206 meters and consists of a flying saucer-shaped lower tower and a circular upper tower. The antenna is set from 220.5 meters to 336 meters (Baidu Encyclopedia). When I took the sightseeing elevator to the tower, I found that the floor was equipped with transparent glass. I looked at the ground from a high altitude while I felt cold. The tower also had a view of the cityscape of Harbin, which was quite worth a visit.
has come to the "Hongbo Square" not far from the Catholic Church. It is a super-large comprehensive trade center integrating commerce, catering, entertainment and leisure, with an area of nearly 50,000 square meters, invested and built by Harbin Institute of Technology Group . The iconic building in the center of the square is a glass house with stainless steel balls overhead. Located on the original site of the original St. Nicholas Cathedral, it is the prosperous commercial center of Harbin City and is a symbol of brand and strength.This square should have been rebuilt the old street, with a strong Russian style, and a monument to the Soviet Red Army inscribed in Russian to commemorate the Soviet Red Army martyrs who died in World War II and witness the friendship between China and the Soviet Union.
If you talk about the most famous commercial street in Harbin, it is the "Central Street" close to Songhua River . It starts from Xinyang Square in the south and ends at the Flood Control Monument Square by Songhua River in the north. It is paved with square stone bricks (commonly known as "bread stone") into a total length of 1,450 meters and a width of 21.34 meters. It is the longest pedestrian street in Asia. Central Street is paved with stone slabs, and 71 European-style buildings are built throughout the street, bringing together Renaissance, Baroque , eclecticism and modern styles, with a very European style. Central Street, which was renovated and renovated in 1996, became China's first commercial pedestrian street and became a model of many urban pedestrian streets in China since then. Famous buildings include Central Mall , Education Bookstore and Madier Hotel , etc. In particular, Madier Hotel is one of the most representative buildings, which is the French Renaissance Louis XIV architecture (Wikipedia). I must have been here when I visited Harbin before. Now, after reorganization, I still retain the original European style, but it has become more novel and comfortable.
Central Street is like the Nanjing East Road in Shanghai. At the end is the Songhua River, like the Huangpu River in Shanghai. The Songhua River flows through the most important section of Harbin city. Every winter, the frozen river surface becomes a place for people to visit. The Songhua River in summer is also a good place for people to enjoy the cool and take a walk. When I came here to travel, I also had a dinner with friends on the beach by the river, presenting a happy scene. But this time it was rainy. I don’t know if the river water swelled and the beach was not visible, or if the beach was rectified and it was missing. Walking along the trail by the river, you can find that the entire riverside area has been greened, with street trees and green belts planted on both sides of the trail. In addition, cross-river cable cars are also built to facilitate access to the other side of the Songhua River, and the other side is no longer a suburb but an urban area.
When I first came to Harbin, I went to Siberian Tiger Forest Garden . It is a garden created to save and protect the world's endangered species Siberian Tiger. It is located on the north bank of the Songhua River and is adjacent to the Sun Island Scenic Area. The Siberian Tiger Forest Garden now has one of Chenghu Garden, Young Tiger Garden and a science popularization exhibition hall. There are 30 wild tigers scattered. Visitors must roam among the tigers on a special tourist bus. At that time, tourists could buy chickens and feed Siberian tigers. In addition to many Russian-style buildings in Harbin, there have been viewing Russian dramas before, and there are also stores specializing in selling Russian goods, such as Russian dolls.
