Saint Sophia Cathedral - Saint Sophia Cathedral is Harbin’s most iconic landmark, symbolizing its Russian heritage. Originally constructed in 1907 by the Russian army and expanded in 1923, it showcases a striking Russian Orthodox architectural style with a 53-meter-tall green onion dome. It once served the Russian Orthodox community during Harbin’s early 20th-century growth. Made entirely of red bricks, it combines grandeur with historical charm. Although no longer a functioning church, it now houses the Harbin Architectural Art Gallery, featuring photographs and exhibits on Harbin’s architectural and cultural development.
