Harbin was a nice start for China. Even more that Wei, the Taiwanese woman who I met at the border, helped me to get comfortable with Chinese customs and the language. Harbin is a nice town with a small old town city center, and lies on the shores of a river with an island in the middle. On the island there is an amusement park. You can get their either by cable car or ship.

 

Unit 731

On Tuesday we went with a friend of hers from Harbin to the site of Unit 731, which was the name of Japanese army base near Harbin during Second World War. The site was used as test an experiment base on biological warfare. They did tests on plague, anthrax, cholera bacterias including field test on local population. Very hard and sad stuff.
