Zhongyang Street (Central Street or Kitaiskaya Street), a 1.45-kilometer long street, is a veritable museum of European architectural styles: Baroque and Byzantine facades, little Russian bakeries and French fashion houses, as well as non European architectural styles: American, Russian, and Japanese restaurants.
Zhongyang Street (Central Street)
During winter, this cobblestone lined street allows one to walk out onto the ice or take a dog sledge or horse sledge ride. It is the prettiest site in Harbin as far as the city itself is concerned. Note that if you go mid-day during the weekend be prepared to push through the crowds.
Zhongyang Steet is Harbin’s landmark. If you don’t walk in Zhongyang Street, you can’t say that you ever visited Harbin. It is a must for travelers.
