Laodaowuai Baroque District (All 10 Pictures)

Laodaowai, a 50-hectare district in the center of Harbin, Heilongjiang, is the largest and best-preserved complex of unique Baroque Chinese architecture. There is perhaps no area that better typifies Russian-China fusion than it, a crumbling weather-and-time-beaten path... but upon closer inspection, is trimmed with distinctively Baroque-style roofing.
