Our verdict
Harbin, capital of Heilongjiang province in the extreme north-east of China near the Russian border: 5.5 million inhabitants. "Moscow of the Orient" = former Russian city built by the Tsarist Empire 1898 for the Southern Trans-Siberian connecting Vladivostok-Beijing via Chinese Manchuria, preserved Russian architectural atmosphere + unique mixed Slavic-Chinese culinary culture.
