Harbin is the only city in China with a rich Russian history in itself. The region was inhabited during the construction of the Chinese Eastern Railway, wherein the Russian builders and other personnel settled in the region. It was made as a base by the White Russians as thousands of them they fled from Russia. The population of Russians and Jews who settled here started building the new city’s architecture and buildings and schools. This was how the city was slowly established with time.
