An onion-domed church is not what I expected to find in Harbin's city centre. But there it is, the Church of St Sophia taking pride of place in the old part of town. There are plenty of old buildings, very much bearing Russian and Jewish influence, and they are still intact and have not been bulldozed down to make way for bigger and taller developments.
I arrived in Harbin last Friday 5th September. But because of the autumn festival, I cannot officially register at the Heilongjiang University of Chinese Medicine until today. My classmates and I had the long weekend off, so we explored the area around the university and the city centre. You can take a taxi to town for 2 GBP, or you can take a bus for 10 pence. I like it already!
