The replica building uses the same pure wooden structure as the original building, and the shape is a snowflake tower symbolizing Harbin's ice and snow culture. In order to realistically reproduce the style of St. Nicholas Church back then, the builder specially purchased the original design drawings from the Russian national meritorious architect Korajin, and invited the architect to come to Harbin to guide the replica project. 3⃣️Petrov Art Palace The Petrov Art Palace is designed and built based on a monastery in Moscow, absorbing elements of many classic Russian buildings. The interior displays large murals originally created by the Repin Academy of Fine Arts, classic oil paintings and sculptures by many Russian painters, allowing people to swim in the hall of art and enjoy the beauty. 4⃣️Banya Bath The three wooden structures by the river are the Russian bathhouses in the manor—Banya. Banya bathing first undergoes a high temperature of 90 degrees Fahrenheit, then jumps into a cold water pool of about 10 degrees for soaking, supplemented by leaf beating and massaging the whole body. If it is in winter, you can directly rush to the snow, rub your body with snow, which can detoxify and beautify, enhance blood circulation, and give you a feeling of rebirth after repeated steaming and washing. 5⃣️Mermaid Restaurant In the eastern part of the manor, there is a characteristic restaurant—Mermaid Restaurant.
