Live Your Best Lives
Volga Manor is located 16 kilometers away from Harbin Cheng Road on the banks of the Ash River in Chenggaozi Town, Xiangfang District, Harbin City. It covers an area of more than 600,000 square meters. It is a garden with Russian culture as its theme and a manor that is fully enriched with exotic style.
Looking at the entire manor, one can see scenery based on old Harbin buildings. Among them, the Little Birch Restaurant was designed by the famous Russian designer Rabech when he participated in the Paris International Exhibition. The building is positive when viewed from all four directions, and each has its own unique features. It can be regarded as one of the world's classic wooden buildings. The rebuilt St. Nicholas Church in the manor was once a landmark building in Harbin, witnessing a century of urban changes. The distant bell sounds evoke people's long-lost memories of the "Moscow of the East" and also express people's feelings.
