[China] "Zhongyang Avenue" where the streetscape from the Russian colonial era continues, blending East and West

Harbin Central Street is the largest street in Harbin and a pedestrian precinct. Retro architecture and cobblestones from the Russian colonial era line the streets for about 1.5km from north to south, creating a European-style streetscape that you wouldn't expect to find in China. There are almost no shops or street stalls that you would normally see in China, but instead there are Russian-style restaurants and souvenir shops that are unique to this area, and ice cream and confectionery shops that are unique to this cold region, which is interesting. Of course, there are also huge department stores and food courts that are typical of China, and the East and West are blended together, making this a very unique and unusual trip to China. The streets are There is not a single piece of trash on the ground because the cleaners are constantly collecting it. (Maybe it was because the Winter Asian Games and the Harbin Ice Festival were being held) Whenever snow piles up, they immediately clear it away, and they are always busy with maintenance. At night, the arcade is flooded with dazzling lights (Maybe it was because it was after the Chinese New Year). I thought that this overwhelming brilliance was just what you would expect from China. 📍Zhongyang Avenue Location: Daoli District, Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province Nearest station: Zhongyang Avenue Station on Metro Line 2, direct airport bus service #Let's go to China #China #Harbin
