Harbin's "Northeast Louvre" Now Open for Free! Hayao Sixth Factory, You Truly Understand "Ancestral Wealth"

In Harbin, if you only know Central Street and Saint Sophia Cathedral, you'll miss a top-tier "magical realism" check-in spot—the original site of Hayao Sixth Factory, nicknamed the "Northeast Louvre." This place isn't in Europe, yet it surpasses Europe; an office building of a pharmaceutical factory has been built into a world-class art palace. In 2024, it finally opened to the public for free, instantly igniting the entire internet. Today's exclusive check-in guide will help you unlock the most unexpectedly luxurious spot in this ice city. 🌟 Visual Explosion: A "Versailles Palace" Built Inside a Factory The first impression is unparalleled shock. Twenty-eight pairs of giant human reliefs stand on the granite facade, and the golden dome shines brilliantly under the sunlight, perfectly blending Baroque splendor with classical solemnity. Known among locals as the "Northeast Louvre," this nickname is well-deserved. It vividly demonstrates what "the aesthetic and strength of an old industrial base at its peak" means. Standing under the skybridge at the southeast gate and shooting the panorama from below is a must for every visitor—each shot looks like a movie poster. 💎 Inner Luxury: An 18-Meter Crystal Chandelier and a Symphony of 400 Prints Step inside to truly understand what "ultimate luxury" means. The grand atrium, nearly five stories high, is dominated by a dazzling 18-meter-tall crystal chandelier, with light cascading over exquisite gilded reliefs and polished marble floors. Surprisingly, this asset once worth hundreds of millions has now transformed floors 1 to 6 into a public art space. Floors 4 to 6 house a free print museum, featuring over 400 prints from China and abroad. On one side is the ultimate European palace decoration, on the other a serene and elegant art display—this contrast is wonderfully striking. The spiral staircase in the fifth-floor print museum is another perfect photo spot. 📌 Practical Check-in Guide · Address: No. 326 Nanzhi Road, Daowai District, Harbin (search "Hayao Group Pharmaceutical Sixth Factory" or "Northeast Louvre" on navigation). · Hours: Daily 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM (closed Mondays), free admission, remember to bring your ID. · Transportation: Take Metro Line 3 to "Haihe East Road Station," about a 10-minute walk; or bus to "Hongqi Community" stop. · Key Tips: After welcoming 26,000 visitors on the first day of opening, the popularity remains high.
