Winter Harbin Travel Guide | Passion Square Harbin Catholic Church.

Winter is here again! Ice and snow are about to give the world a new look! Skiing, skating, Harbin Ice and Snow World... these are the joys of winter! In winter, Harbin is definitely one of the most popular cities!

Harbin is an architectural museum, and city walks are the best way to explore it. The red exterior of the Passion Square Catholic Church is really eye-catching and left a deep impression on me!

⭐️About the architecture

The church was built in 1912 and was originally an Orthodox church. After restoration, it was converted into a Catholic church. The church is dark rose red overall, with iron window frames and a golden cross as decoration, making it very eye-catching.

The church is a typical Russian-style building with Baroque architecture, a brick and wood structure, a cross-shaped symmetrical layout, red and white walls, a Baroque-style tower, an onion-shaped bell tower, and a Catholic church.
