Harbin Sixth Pharmaceutical Factory/Ticket: 0

This is not Europe, this is the sixth pharmaceutical factory in Harbin. Its classical architectural style, carved walls and sculptures adorn the whole wall, which is very palace-like.

Sophia Church/Ticket: 15r

The interior of Hagia Sophia is now used as "Harbin Architectural Art Museum". Not far from the central street, there is a Harbin 100 department store. It's only a few steps from Central Street to Hagia Sophia. Covering a small area, it belongs to a scenic spot in the downtown area. It is beautiful to take a photo casually, especially at night than during the day.

As a famous scenic spot, most of them just come to punch in and take pictures, and will not go in to visit. The interior decoration of Sophia Church is very European, and even the mottled walls perfectly restore the ancient buildings in Europe, which is well worth going in.

Tickets are only 15 yuan. Sitting on a church bench and quietly feeling the time-invariant architecture is the most romantic thing in the trip.

If you can come in winter, you can enjoy Sophia wrapped in white. The night view of the church after the snow is the most beautiful, as if in a fairy tale.
