National Series 27 Harbin Saint Sophia Cathedral

🌈Historical Background: It was built in the 33rd year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty (1907), and is a Byzantine-style Orthodox church. It was originally a military church built by the Russian Fourth Infantry Division of Siberia during the construction of the Middle East Railway, and it is also the largest Orthodox church in the Far East. 🚗Highlights: National 4A Scenic Area, the church building is arranged in the form of a Greek cross, which is influenced by Byzantine architectural style. The main dome and bell tower have the traditional Russian 'tent top' and 'onion head' shape. The top of the main entrance is the bell tower, and the 7 bells made of ringing copper are exactly 7 notes, which are played by well-trained bell ringers, and the ups and downs of the bell sound can be heard for a long time. 🎫Ticket Information: The ticket is 30 yuan, and you can take the subway line 2 to Zhongyang Street Station and walk there. ✨Travel Suggestions: Harbin landmark building, a must-visit place for every tourist who comes to Harbin, very photogenic, but there are really many people, especially during the peak tourist season. Here, night and day, summer and winter are different sceneries, and it is also very close to Central Street. To visit the church, you need to buy a ticket, and you can listen to hymns at night. In fact, there are many churches with different characteristics in Harbin, such as Yiwu Church, Saint Alexeyev Church, and Our Lady's Guard Church, etc. It is recommended to take the time to see them all.
