The city of Harbin is the capital of Heilongjiang Province, China's most northerly province. Heilongjiang wraps around the northeastern extremity of Inner Mongolia (Inner Mongolia Autonomous Republic) to the west, while to the east, the province stretches to the border with North Korea and Russia. Indeed, the Northwestern-Pacific, Russian seaport city of Vladivostok lies just beyond the "rear left foot" of Heilongjiang Province (Heilongjiangers like to compare the shape of their snowy province to a swan, while, to me – and perhaps to you as well – it looks more like the left-side silhouette of a cross between a Scott Terrier and a T-Rex, the latter with a bad case of mumps, hence the reference to the "rear left foot").
Harbin is situated near the northern extremity of the Northeast China Plain,... [ View Details ]

Good
This is the most wonderful place I have been to - anywhere! Beware of taxis and their scams, do the walking street at night, eat frozen fruit on a stick, drive across the frozen river, visit the ice festival! I have a good report at www.qf-ff.com if interestedGordon - Australia

Harbin's location at the far northeast part of China put it at a disadvantage to attract more travelers to come, however, the place is quite worth a visit in winter due to its ice art and culture: various ice lanterns and sculptures render the place distinctive. Harbin is home to China's largest ski resort-the Yabuli ski resort.
