Chinese residents, Russian-speaking migrants and other communities helped shape its commercial streets and places of worship. The city later built a public winter arts tradition around ice lanterns and sculpture.<sup>[1][2][3][4]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Railway and migration:<\/strong> From 1898, railway construction made Harbin a major transport center and drew people from within China and abroad.<sup>[1][2][3]<\/sup> <\/li>\n<li><strong>Architecture:<\/strong> Shops on Central Street (\u4e2d\u592e\u5927\u8857, Zh\u014dngy\u0101ng D\u00e0ji\u0113), Saint Sophia\u2019s red-brick church and surviving synagogue buildings tell different parts of the city\u2019s story.<sup>[2][5][6]<\/sup> <\/li>\n<li><strong>Winter arts:<\/strong> A 1963 ice lantern fair in Zhaolin Park preceded the larger Harbin ice and snow festival, first held in 1985.<sup>[4]<\/sup> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">Harbin\u2019s buildings show who worked, traded and worshipped there. Its winter displays show how residents made a season into a public cultural event.<\/p><\/section>\n<figure class=\"tcjdi-infographic\" style=\"width:500px;max-width:100%;margin:24px auto;text-align:center\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chinaculturepro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/Harbin-culture-infographic-on-railway-migration-architecture-and-winter-arts.webp\" alt=\"Harbin culture infographic on railway migration architecture and winter arts\" title=\"Harbin culture infographic on railway migration architecture and winter arts\" width=\"1440\" height=\"2560\" style=\"width:500px;max-width:100%;height:auto;margin:0 auto\" \/><figcaption>Harbin culture infographic on railway migration architecture and winter arts<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\">The winter sun can catch both the dome of an old brick church and the edges of an ice lantern.

Work from 1898 accelerated growth around Chinese settlements and the Songhua River (\u677e\u82b1\u6c5f, S\u014dnghu\u0101 Ji\u0101ng). Engineers, laborers, merchants and families arrived from different places, and maps show distinct districts developing around the railway and the river. Harbin\u2019s growth depended on how these communities worked and traded with one another.<sup>[1][2][3]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Russian-speaking arrivals included engineers and their families as well as people escaping political upheaval and persecution. Jewish residents established a community with its own businesses and synagogues. Harbin and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinaculturepro.com\/tianjin-culture\/\">Tianjin<\/a> both became home to Jewish communities that included migrants from the Russian Empire. Their different port and railway histories shaped where those residents lived and worked.<sup>[2][3][6][8]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<h2>Reading Central Street and Saint Sophia<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Central Street developed as a commercial street with shops and facades in a range of styles. The buildings make it possible to see a history of exchange at street level. Saint Sophia, with its red brick and large onion dome, gives a separate example of a Russian Orthodox building. The earlier church dates to 1907, while the present structure was completed in 1932.<sup>[5][9]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">These streets belong to the culture of a northeastern Chinese city. They also form part of the wider record of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinaculturepro.com\/russian-culture-china\/\">Russian culture in China<\/a>. How people used the buildings often tells more about Harbin than describing every old facade as Russian.<sup>[1][5]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<h2>How Winter Became a Public Art Season<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Small ice lanterns were part of northeastern winter life. Harbin\u2019s 1963 fair brought ice lanterns into an organized public display in Zhaolin Park. In 1985 the city held its first wider ice and snow festival. Later large-scale events added illuminated ice architecture and organized sculpture displays. The guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinaculturepro.com\/harbin-ice-snow-art\/\">Harbin ice and snow art<\/a> explains the materials and skills behind those works.<sup>[4][7]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Cold creates other kinds of public culture in northeast China. In neighboring Jilin, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinaculturepro.com\/chagan-lake-winter-fishing\/\">Chagan Lake winter fishing<\/a> offers an example built around fishing work, with ice as a seasonal surface for crews. Harbin\u2019s displays make ice the material of the work itself.<sup>[4][7][10]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<h2>FAQs About Harbin Culture<\/h2>\n<h3>Why Does Harbin Have Russian-Influenced Architecture?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Chinese Eastern Railway brought Russian-speaking communities, businesses and institutions to Harbin around the turn of the twentieth century. Their former buildings include shops and Russian Orthodox churches.<sup>[1][2][5]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<h3>What Is the Difference Between the Ice Lantern Fair and the Winter Festival?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">The 1963 Zhaolin Park fair focused on public displays of ice lanterns. The broader festival, first held in 1985, brought together ice and snow art, sport and other winter activities.<sup>[4]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<h3>What Are Two Ways to See Harbin\u2019s Migration History?<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">Commercial facades on Central Street show the history of trade, while religious buildings such as Saint Sophia and the synagogues show the presence of particular communities.<sup>[2][5][6][9]<\/sup> <\/p>\n<h2>Sources<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">[1] Urban History. <a
