Harbin

On the way to Harbin, as the landscape passes by the train window.

In the old SHANGRI-LA Hotel in Harbin with a view of the Songhua River and very cordial staff.

At the Songhua River, where the anglers, swimmers and musicians are. It is nice to walk around because there is always something to see and there is a pleasantly cool breeze coming from the water.

The bustling Zhongyang Pedestrian Street, with its colourful shops and European Renaissance and Baroque-style buildings, is a romantic place to visit when in Harbin.

In the cosy CAFE RUSSIA in Harbin, where there are many ancient sights.

Now at the new SHANGRI-LA Hotel, which is very cool. Here, too, the staff is extremely nice.
