What to See InHarbin
Parks inHarbin: Snow Sculpture Expo on theSunIslandPark: massive and beautifully carved sculptures of snow.
Ice Lantern Festival: where large ice buildings and statues constructed with lights inside that make them
glow.SiberianTigerPark: The park has several large caged areas where the tigers roam freely and live as they-would
in their natural environment. We enter these caged areas in a specially designed van with large windows to get a
look at these beautiful beasts. Live pheasants (雉) are let loose (if you pay) in order to show you the tigers' natural
hunting skills.
Russian Architecture: Blessed with grace and character, the city is famous for its unique, Russian-influenced
architecture. Remnants (残存) from the days when Harbin wasan important stop on the Russian Manchurian
Railroad, the dome-shaped structures remind people of pre-revolutionary Russia. The strong Russian flavor
continues to impact the city today due to new trade and tourism betweenHarbinandRussia.
TheCentral Avenue: Passers-by only street, a perfect remaining part of the busy international business
activities at the turn of the 20th century. The 1.4-km long street is a worthy museum of European architectural
styles, including Baroque and Byzantine facades, Jewish architectural wonders, little Russian bakeries, French
fashion houses, American snack food outlets, and Japanese restaurants.
Guogeli Avenue:Harbin's second biggest shopping district dotted with Russian buildings. A tram track is still
preserved in the centre of the road. The street is named after Nikolay (Vasilyevich) Gogol (1809-1852); great
Russian novelist, dramatist, satirist, founder of the so-called critical realism in Russian literature, best-known for
his novel MERTVYE DUSHI I-II (1842, Dead Souls).
Saint Sophia Church (built in 1903): The Orthodox church is a wonderful example of Russian Architecture. We
only tour the outside of the church. The inside has been turned into some painters' market and is a big
disappointment to all who visit it. You are welcome to venture into the church. Entrance fees are RMB20 per
person.

When Chip heard the mail truck arriving on his sixth birthday, herushed out—not knowing that he’d come
back with a treasure.
Outside the house, which was decorated with birthday balloons, postwoman Shelley held a pile of boxes. One
was marked with Chip’s name and a greeting for his Special day, November 5.
“So,” when he came running out the door, she said, “You must be Chip!” And he said,“Yes.” She said, “Today’s
your birthday?” And he started smiling. Shelley said, “So, let me see if I can find you something for your
birthday.”She checked her pocket and surprised him with a gift: a dollar bill and four quarters.
On this day, the 42-year-old postwoman made one little boy very happy. “He was very excited,” said his mom,
Bonnie. “He came running back in the house just waving his money.” Chip is saving up to buy a Spider-man action
figure.
“Our family has had money problems since I lost my job. Gestures like that are valuable memories.” Her hope
is that Chip and his eight-year-old sister, Bennett, will remember this when they grow up. “Not the ugly that is out
there right now, but the good and the kind and the giving.”
A photo of a smiling Chip and Shelley next to the mail truck has been shared widely on social media. Shelley
said she was just trying to give back, because people are often nice to her eight-year-old son, Joshua.
On a recent day, Chip heard the mail truck and rushed out again, this time to deliver an envelope with a
thank-you card for his favorite mail carrier. Since that day, the families have kept in contact. Shelley has struggled
to find someone who can take care of her son, and Bonnie has agreed to watch him at her home while his mom is
on her mail route.
4. Why did Chip rush out when he heard the mail truck the first time?
