Exploring St. Sophia Cathedral

St. Sophia Cathedral was a former Russian Orthodox Chrurch, which is now one of the famous monuments of Harbin. The building is truly impressive with its high towers, golden finishings and vivid colors. The inside of the cathedral is a museum, where you can see some beautiful old paintings and the beautiful roof. St. Sophia's Cathedral/ church is located in the city of Harbin, and can be reached via taxi. It is recommended to spend about 1 hour there. It is free to walk around the building and take photos, but it costs 20¥ to enter the church. It is definitely worth a visit #historicplaces #tigeryear2022 #china #couplestrip #urbanexplorer #wintergetaway #harbin #cathedral

St. Sophia Cathedral
As many people visit Harbin, only during the winter because of its famous ice sculpture festival. I would say it's a tourist destination that should be in your list all around the year. As there are still lot of other things to do, other than the festival and skiing. Here's what you can do in Harbin, First of all, this city even though in China looks completely russian in most of the sense. There are sign boards in three languages ( including russian), the buildings & their architecture, the food, the very famous russian doll & chocolates. So if at all you like to have a sneak peek of what a Russian city would like, then here's the place for you. You can embark on a leisurely tour of Sofia cathedral and the 小吃 street around it; for a day. It's in the downtown and so there are lot of hotels that you can choose to stay at. Also don't forget to book the ticket online before going to the cathedral. Unfortunately, we couldn't get to the Church as it was full. The next day you can walk in the majestic 松花江 bridge, that's again designed and built by Russia-China collaboration. It's really worth it, to walk the entire stretch that history reminds itself. Also do visit the train market nearby this bridge; not the one like in vietnam haha. It's a model one, but as the replica of 1900s train, the coal one. And another day, go to visit the big cats living in one of the coldest places on Earth. The Siberian tiger is also comparatively bigger than it's Asian/African counterparts. It's nearly 7 ft long, and can take down any animal with a single blow. When we were there, we just had it watched hunting a live chicken 😜 but that's all you can see in a zoo. #qingmingtravel #urbanexplorer #东北旅游 #siberiantiger #urbanexplorer#qingmingtravel#lightthecity
