Stalin Park was laid out in 1953 along the Songhua River, just west of Holy Annunciation Church (now the New Gloria Garden Plaza Hotel), to commemorate the friendship of the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China. That friendship turned out to be fairly short-lived, yet somehow the park's name survived the break in relations. Today the Park is a refreshing break from the concrete jungle of Harbin, with broad tree-lined walkways (pictured here) and lovely views of the Songhua and Sun Island.
