It's not that Europe is unaffordable, but Harbin offers better value for money.

Visited the Saint Sophia Cathedral Checked in at the European-style Deer Fish Cafe Walked through the Zhonghua Baroque Street in Daowai Experienced the sunset, sunshine, and heavy rain How can this not be considered a perfect trip? Transportation Guide - Didi is probably the most convenient way to get around, but Harbin only has three subway lines. If you want to experience it, you can. Local Attractions - As mentioned above, Central Street, Saint Sophia Cathedral, Zhonghua Baroque Street Hotels - If you're not visiting in winter, it's recommended to stay in Daoli (city center) Food and Restaurants - You can find Northeastern cuisine and BBQ everywhere. I recommend trying the freshly brewed kvass on Central Street, it tastes great.
