Alot of nice modern "commie blocks" and a cool tv tower, but needs something that really makes it stand out of the crowd. 7/10 ...

Wonder what it looked like 10 years ago.

It looks a nice place to live. Green areas, high buildings... I hope that the public transportation network is so great as the city.

More Harbin photo! Those photo is far from my image of a poor Asian city.

Anyway, I vote it 8/10. (Compare to Shanghai, 4.5/10 for me and Kunming 2/10)

Harbin is a great city. But not because of it's skyline but because of its Russian architecture and Ice festival. It's the most "un-chinese" city in China.

skyline: 6/10 (nothing special in China)
setting: 2/10 (boring flat farmland)
charme: 8.5/10

Great city, but extremely cold. has lots of highrises but needs more skyscrapers.


I think the 9 million population is a little misleading, that accounts for the entire county of Harbin. The city itself has like 2 or 3 million.
