Thanks for sharing that delightful video, PTravel. Amazing sculptures, even more so when they are illuminated at night. You did an excellent job capturing people's joy while being there, especially the children. By the way, did you venture out to eat often? Is the local cuisine heavily influenced by Russia? Some time ago I recall watching a culinary show on a Chinese channel and coming across a report about a Northern city with these influences. I did not get the name of the city but I suspect that it could be Harbin. Here's looking forward to more. ^
We did have lunch out one day. It was interesting -- a "Russian" Chinese restaurant. The food was quite good and somewhat Russian (excellent borscht), but with an unmistakable Chinese spin.
