Hi! Thank you for a nice post! And yes, I have read something about far east history at the beginning of the XX century and a bit about modern Harbin too! Would be interesting to see it!
I heard there’s not too much of that old Russian town survived to these days, but there’s still something curious to see.
@Saint_Sennheiser thank you for reading my post. Yes, it’s very interesting to see old Russian architecture in Harbin since it was my first time (2015) . But I dunno wether it still exist or not.
