Harbin Railway Theme Park Construction Work Steaming Ahead

The city of Harbin, Heilongjiang province is planning a railway theme park with a groundbreaking ceremony scheduled for late June, according to a local urban and rural construction committee announcement, on May 26.

The theme park is planned at 140,000 square meters and stretches for about 5 kilometers, from Senlin street in the Daoli district to Jingbei road on Sun Island in the Songbei district.

The project will include a new museum covering Harbin’s railway history, a greenbelt area and parking facilities.
