Harbin Style Street

Known as the "Oriental Paris," Harbin is always filled with a rich exotic charm. Nowadays, distinctive themed streets such as Indian Style Street and Russian Style Street have gradually become a new urban calling card for Harbin, attracting tourists from all over the country.

Upon arriving at Indian Style Street, the medieval-style architecture, the highly Indian-flavored ornaments on the stalls, and the faint scent of incense in the air easily evoke memories of the glory of India’s Mughal Empire. On both sides of the street, there are also Indian-style restaurants, where the service provided by waiters wearing turbans and sporting beards is very attentive.

Located on Gogol Street, Russian Style Street fully showcases the deep historical ties between Harbin and Russia. The street is lined not only with numerous shops selling Russian goods but also with many authentic Russian-style Western restaurants. The rich borscht and uniquely flavored Russian steaks have won high praise from many first-time diners of Russian cuisine. When night falls, the specialty bars on the street are brightly lit and bustling with people. Here, you can not only enjoy century-old Harbin Beer but also taste authentic vodka produced in Russia.

Mr. Zhang Changfu from Sichuan, who came to Harbin for tourism, was particularly impressed by Russian Style Street. His local friend treated him to a Russian-style meal and a generous bottle of vodka. He said that Saint Sophia Cathedral showed him authentic Russian architecture, but Russian Style Street gave him a deeper appreciation of the essence of Russian culinary culture.

Industry insiders believe that the fusion and collision of Eastern and Western cultures are inherent features and charms of Harbin. Many themed streets, built upon Harbin’s original distinctive architecture, add diversified elements in food and clothing, bringing new highlights to Harbin’s tourism resources.
