Harbin, Capital city in Heilongjiang Province, China
Located on the southern bank of the Songhua River, Harbin extends across several districts with a mix of modern developments and traditional architecture.
The establishment of Harbin began in 1898 during the construction of the Chinese Eastern Railway, transforming a small fishing village into a major transportation hub.
