Sweet sweet old memories......


Oh, how I love my hometown Harbin, the Eastern Moscow, Eastern Little Paris, Ice City, Music City......  We enjoyed cool summer every year but suffered a lot during the winter.  It begins snowing in November and the winter won't leave until next May.  It sometimes goes under -30 degrees (C) in January.  For historical reasons, we have various architecture styles, and enjoy lots of exotic food.

Zhao-Lin park, the place I spent every weekend before I went to secondary school.  It seems that I was not really standing there, the background looks toooooo flat to be true!

My first so-called "artistic" picture. My cousin laughed at me for this.

Outside a countryside house, they accumulate lots of firewood for the winter.  Also from my Chang-Bai Mountain trip. 

A Russian style church in my home town.  There is a square around it now. 

Ice sculpture, the unique way of art that Harbiners enjoy during the freezing winter.  The ice from Song-Hua River, only ice formed from flowing water can be this transparent. 


Sledging on Song-Hua River.  One of hundreds of winter sports at Harbin. 

Ice-Surfing on Song-Hua River.  Also one of my favorite winter sports at Harbin.
