One of the hidden wonders of Harbin is the Grand Theatre. It is an absolutely stunning building. There is a path that leads up onto the roof and gives an amazing view of the Northern and Southern parts of the City – just try and ignore all the spiders keeping you company along the way.
Not the best name for a park, but it’s a really nice place to walk along the Songhua River. Found at the end of ZhongYang DaJie, the park has a large paved concourse that leads to parks running alongside the river. Lots of activity, as you would expect in a Chinese park, but what caught my eye the most, were these old guys writing on the paving.
Zhongyangdajie, or central street, is a pedestrianised cobble street. Lots of crowds, shops and atmosphere.
I don’t know who this guy was, but he was here both times I visited. He was filming for a blog or something. The first time he was very noisy. This time, not so much.
A buddhist monk I saw a couple of times around the downtown area, standing outside the best bookshop in the world.
