Harbin is the capital of Heilongjiang, China’s most northernmost province. One of the largest cities in China, the present-day Harbin used to be a small village on the Songhua River called Pinkiang. It started to develop in the early 20th century when the China Eastern Railway was constructed and linked to the Russian Siberian railway. This led to a large influx of Russians. The beautiful Sophia Church, built by the Russians during this period, is still Harbin’s most well known landmark.

Changchun is the capital of Jilin Province, which is located in the heart of northeast China bordering Heilongjiang to the north, Inner Mongolia to the west and Liaoning to the south. Like most of the Chinese northeastern cities, Changchun saw most of its development occur in the 20th century. The presence of the Yitong River and the railway built by the Russians combined to give Changchun a strategic location.

Dalian lies near the southern tip of the Liaoning Peninsula. As a port town, it has a different feel and a different climate to the other major cities of northeastern China. International, cosmopolitan and modernized, Dalian is considered by many to be the most livable city in the whole of China. In common with the rest of the region, Dalian has both suffered upheaval and seen great progress over the last 100 years. Controlled at various stages by both the Russians and Japanese, the city retains much of its inheritance from both these periods.
