Harbin Sophia Church Scenic Spot Travel Guide

Scenic spot introduction:

Harbin Sophia Church is located on the south bank of the Songhua River. It is famous at home and abroad for its unique architectural landscape and European style. It is currently the most complete Byzantine building in China and is also a landmark building in Harbin. Its square has complete entertainment projects and service supporting facilities, and regularly holds cultural activities such as the "Harbin Old Photo Exhibition" and song and dance parties, attracting many Chinese and foreign tourists to come here for leisure, entertainment, and sightseeing.
The Sophia Church is magnificent and exquisite. The church's plane design is an east-west Latin cross. The walls are all made of clear red bricks. The top is topped by a huge and full onion dome, which governs the tent roofs of different sizes on the four wings, forming a master-slave layout. There are stairs connecting the four floors, and there are four doors at the front, back, left and right. The top of the main entrance is the bell tower. The seven bronze bells have exactly seven notes. The well-trained bell ringers use their hands and feet to strike the melodious bells.
