Spring on Hongbo

Hongbo Square's snowflake (on the site of the old city Cathedral of St. Nicholas) on a gorgeous, chilly spring day.

Hongbo Square

A view of Hongbo Square in central Harbin. Sometimes Harbin has the most delightful architectural features and monuments...and then there's whatever this is. The city's iconic St. Nicholas Cathedral used to stand in Hongbo, but were obviously removed at some point. (A replica of the cathedral now stands in Harbin's Volga Manor resort as its art gallery.)
