Well here we are in Harbin the modern capital city of Heilongjiang province in the far north east of China, near the Russian border. This province was previously known as Manchuria and has a long history influenced by both Russia and Japan. A city of just over 3 million projects a very relaxed living style with cobbled walking streets, a beautiful river ( Songhua) and many tree-lined streets. Our visit came at the tail-end of their long 5 month winter and were lucky to glimpse the remnants of their Ice Lantern Festival. Ice scuptures and ice castles are on display in many parts of the city.
