The St.Sofia Orthodox Church is 53.35 meters high. It covers an area of 721 square meters. It’s the typical representative of the Byzantine architecture. The church is majestic and extremely beautiful. All the walls of the church adopt red brick. There is a huge onion-shaped dome on the top of the church. Four tent-shaped arch roofs are distributed around it in different sizes. There are stairs to connect four buildings. It has four entrances in four directions. At the top of the main entrance is the Bell Tower. Seven copper bells just stand for seven notes. The trained ringer strikes them with his hands and feet. People can hear a ripple of melodious ding. The lofty St.Sofia Orthodox Church is a unique human landscape with exoticism in Harbin.

Well I think that St. Sofia Church is a place where everyone should go and visit because it is actually an art gallery showing the history of the buildings in Harbin. The church is so spectacular. When looking at the upholsteries and its murals, I thought that I was not living in the modern times. Anyway, it is the emblem of Harbin. And it is worth visiting very much. View Details
