Harbin Nightview

Adventures : 2008. 5. 7. 21:24
I personally think Harbin has very wonderful nightview and its nightview is at par with well known cities like Hong Kong or Shanghai.

While Shanghai or HK has very ultra modern nightview, I think Harbin's has more clasical flavor than those cities. Because Harbin was under Russian rule till 1940s or so, many of buildings from then still remained and with beautiful lightings, they look gorgeous. For a while, I thought that I was in Europe and not in China. Also in Harbin, it wasn't too hard to see group of Russians and Russian stores.

When it's darker, things look way more gorgeous:

It used to be a Russian Orthodox Church but ever since Harbin became part of China, it's no longer a church. Currently, they use it as a museum.

However, the only complaint that I have is that.. They suddenly turned all the light off at once.. w/o giving us any short notices.
