中央大街   Where East meets West; Zhongyang pedestrian street is the commercial and cultural heart of Harbin and a perfect fusion of Chinese and foreign architecture. Harbin’s multi-cultural past is portrayed at its best here, and a stroll down this cobbled street is an aesthetic delight, with European-style colonial mansions converted to shops that sell French perfume, German snacks, Russian textiles and more. Take an early evening stroll down this historic boulevard to see the ornate hotels, restaurants and cafes illuminated by baroque-style street lamps.
