The influence of neighboring Russia remains visible throughout much of Harbin, with the country's northernmost metropolis possessing an intoxicating eclecticism in its architecture, food, and art. Founded as a camp for Russian railway engineers, the city now features many arresting sites across its historic center, including churches, synagogues, and long-established hotels, with domed towers looming large over public plazas.
