Hello everyone, let's pick up the book.
After leaving the "731 Evidence Exhibition Hall" on the afternoon of February 13, the crow returned to Harbin ** Street, and went straight to the "largest Orthodox church in China" - St. Sophia's Church.
Of course, don't be angry with "Jingluo" first, but the names are similar, and this is still a "big" word.
The church of St. Sophia was built in 1907Its birth is closely related to the history of the invasion of the Northeast China by the 4th Infantry Division of Tsarist Russia in Northeast China and the construction of the Eastern Railway
Originally, it was just a simple chapel.
Chapel of the Army in 1908.
In the same year, I.F. Chistyakov, a Jewish tea merchant in Tsarist Russia, financed the expansion of the church into an all-timber structure.
I. F. Chistyakov.
In 1911, the Russian colonial authorities who invaded Harbin carefully built a brick wall outside the wooden walls of the church, forming a unique brick and wood structure.
St. Sophia's Church in 1912.
Until the outbreak of the "October Revolution" in 1917,Harbin's ** population has exceeded 100,000, and the number is even more than the local ChineseIn order to meet the needs of more Orthodox Christians, the local Russian diaspora organization plans to further expand the church.
In 1923, the expansion was officially carried out by the famous Belarusian architect Mikhail Matveyevich Oskolkov, who lived in exile in Harbin.
Hail Matveevich Oskolkov.
The project lasted nine years and was not completed until 1932. The newly renovated church style is a blend of grandeur and elegance to create a grand visual effect. The church is 5325 meters, with a floor area of 721 square meters, it is enough to accommodate more than 1,500 worshippers for religious ceremonies at the same time.
Church under reconstruction.
At the top of the main entrance of the church, there is a bell tower with 7 bronze bells, the pitch of which corresponds to the seven basic notes of **. Whenever the bell rings, it takes a skilled bell ringer to use both hands and feet to interpret the melodious melody.
Hagia Sophia during the Japanese occupation of Manchukuo in 1933.
From the perspective of architectural layout, the church adopts the Greek cross design, which not only reflects the essence of Byzantine architectural style, but also integrates the traditional Russian "tent top" and "onion head" modeling elements into the design of the main dome and bell tower, making the whole church not only have a sense of history, but also lose the creativity and agility of art.
After that, the church was also the most important religious place for the Russians in Kazakhstan until 1958, after the founding of the stateThe last archbishop of the church resigned, and the church's history as a religious building came to an end.
The former clergy of the church.
Since 1958, the church building has become the practice room of the Harbin Drama Theater and the warehouse of the city's No. 1 Department Store, and a large number of residential buildings have been built around it to shade it, which has been little known for a long time.
It was not until 1986 that Hagia Sophia was officially recognized as a Class I protected building in Harbin, and ten years later it was upgraded to the fourth batch of national key cultural relics protection units.
The potential tourist value of this church has also been fully recognized by Harbin**, and since 1997, it has been significantly renovated, and the surrounding fire hazard 1The 40,000-square-meter building was demolished and replaced by an open plaza of 7,000 square meters. The church has also been transformed into a city architectural art gallery to welcome the public with a new look.
In 2006, the church square was upgraded again, the fountain can spray snowflakes in winter, the square area has also been greatly expanded, and the following year it was promoted to a national 4A-level tourist attraction, but until this "Erbin" became popular all over the country, this place was actually tepid.
When the crow finally stood in front of this church, the first feeling was that it was not as grand as it was presented in many advertisements, but the exterior decoration of the building was particularly gorgeous, and it felt more rendered by lighting.
In addition, the vicinity of the church is already crowded with people.
Among them, most of them are dressed in a variety of orthodox Russian luxury costumes, and some are mixed and matched, such as wearing Mongolian, Oroqen and other ethnic minority costumes with European-style shawls, etc., and all the photo-friendly areas near the church are crowded with "princesses", and everyone is lined up one by one under the leadership of their respective photographers.
At that time, the temperature in Harbin was zero, but most of the "princesses" were dressed thinly, and they had to put on down jackets immediately after filming.
Hearing the crow's emotion, a photographer immediately said: ".Dude, this is all good, I wore it so thin at minus 20 degrees some time ago, and now I can finish shooting outside, and many women who took one or two photos before immediately hid in ** to warm up, and I have to chase after me. ”
When the crow asked if there was a "princess photo" business here, he said:"It's only been a few months, and it used to be one of the places where locals took wedding photos, and they had to find clothes, without these luxurious clothes, and now there are a large number of new clothes, all of which are of good quality. ”
At this time, the crow suddenly had a whim, and asked if a person could take a single "prince photo", and the photographer said that there was no problem, 300 yuan, 7 retouched, and more than 20 photos.
Then, Crow chose a film and television studio next to it with a high rating, because there was no clothing storage cabinet, Crow put his military coat and cotton hat in the car.
Compared with the girl's "princess suit", the crow's "prince suit" is much simpler, after a simple makeup, choose a Russian outfit, with long leather boots and a fur cape, the clothes are also much more convenient to wear.
However, after a long wait upstairs with a group of princesses, it was finally ten o'clock in the evening that the crow was able to go downstairs with the photographer as a group with the two princesses.
The filming process was to go through the long queue and wait for the background again, and also to help the photographer with the props (the two "princesses" didn't help with anything).Finally, under the guidance of the photographer, I did various actions and changed the background of the shooting.
The clothes of the anime are the same as those of the person who took pictures at the time.
Because the crow's dress itself is warm, unlike the other two "princesses" who need to put on and take off their down jackets, the filming process is also leisurely.
It is extremely difficult to shoot people on the scene, and the cameraman sometimes has to put the camera on the ground, so he added: "The situation is much better now, some time ago, there was almost no place to stay in the square." ”
By the time the photos were taken and the costumes were finished, it was already 11 o'clock, and it lasted a total of 4 hours. Many restaurants are closed, and Raven still hasn't been able to get the Russian food he wants to try.
However, there are still many restaurants selling boxed lunches on the roadside of Harbin, and many local taxis, ride-hailing drivers and night shift workers are frequentedThe crow chose a random one, intending to fill his stomach.
I have to say that Harbin's boxed lunch is so fragrant that after the crow buys a meat dish for 15 yuan, the rest of the various vegetarian dishes, staple foods, drinks, etc. can be eaten casually, which is really close to the people and suitable for laborers.
After eating, the crow was lucky enough to find a temporary special room near the ice and snow world, only 150 (of course, there is still a certain premium, now check again, less than 99), after a day of tossing, the crow fell asleep,At the same time, I hope that the Ice World will be played smoothly tomorrow (February 14th), after all, it will be closed on the 15th!
The next day, the temperature in Harbin plummeted to minus 14 degrees, and tickets for the Ice and Snow World went on sale as usual, but the Ferris wheel was still closed, but fortunately, the big slide was still open.
The crow slept until half past one, but fortunately the hotel had the right to late check-out and did not overpay.
The Ice and Snow World is about 5 kilometers away from the hotel, and the driving road is not blocked, and you can buy tickets directly after arriving at the scene.
In addition to the heavy winter tactical winter clothes on this day, the crow is also equipped with an additional electric knee pad and a heated vest (with a power bank), as well as heated insoles in the boots, because today is destined to be a long queue.
After entering the park, the crow learned that except for the big slide project, the rest of the ice car ballet show was not open that day.
It also happened to be Valentine's Day in the West, and there were many couples on the scene, and a considerable number of them were local gay men and women who brought their southern objects to play.
After a few laps in the crow, he decisively chose to line up the 500-meter ice slide first, after all, one of the main purposes of coming here is to play this, if you miss it, it will not be in vain.
At this time, it was only four o'clock in the afternoon, and there was already a long queue that stretched for several miles.
After the crow joined the team, it quickly turned into a long snake formation behind him, and there was an endless stream of people joining the long line.
When the crows first started to line up, there was a sign that it would take 6 hours, and there were corresponding time prompts in different sections, but the line moved a little faster than the actual situation, but by the time it was dark, that is, around half past five in the afternoon, the crows were still a long way from the steps.
As time passed, the cold began to hit everyone, everyone shivered from the cold, and many began to stomp their feet.
After all, the crow came prepared, turned on the heating system on his body, and the anxiety in his heart faded.
In addition, the staff of the park also began to distribute free red dates and ginger tea to the crowd to ward off the cold.
Accents from all over the world are praising "Erbin warm-hearted".
However, the whole process is not harmonious, because the queue is too long, some people will inevitably be anxious, and from time to time someone will open the line and cut the queue forward, which is naturally blocked, these people all say that their relatives and friends are in front, but there is no basis for the words, some people refuse to let go, and there is a quarrel.
This is not strange, the crow directly met a strong man who wanted to blatantly cut in line, and asked him the reason, he was even justified: "Brother, I have an urgent matter, catch a plane at night, can I cut into the line!" ”
The crow decisively refused:"No, and, even if I could, you can ask the people around you if you can say yes! ”
Several people around heard it and loudly refused, and this person left, and the quarrels and cries in the team were endless, but fortunately, I didn't see the final upgrade to full martial arts, it seems that everyone's sense of the rule of law is also strong, and they know that casual brawls will pay the price of the detention center for the Spring Festival.
Subsequently, because the queue was unbearably long, many people's bladders were under tremendous pressure, as if they were going to collapse at any moment. As the so-called "fire and water are ruthless", continuing to hold urine like this does make people worry about whether the body can bear it. However, having persevered so far, everyone is really not willing to give up easily.
Fortunately, there are also a few openings in the park, which are at the bottom of the railing road, and you can get a sign from the security guard at the part of the opening, and then go out to the toilet, and return the sign back to the line when you come back.
The advantage is that you don't have to queue up again, but you also have to bear a little cost: you can only go back to where you went out, which means that you will be overtaken by people who are not there to go later.
The crow also had to go out, but there was a long queue for the toilet, and it was delayed for another twenty minutes, and when he came back, the family who had lined up behind him had already reached the front position.
Eventually, it was already seven o'clock in the evening when the queue went up the stairs, and the queue behind was still dense.
After arriving upstairs, we entered the waiting hall, and at this time, everyone hurriedly bought food such as grilled sausages and corn juice at the lobby store to replenish the energy consumed by the long queue.
Finally out of the hall, and lined up for more than ten minutes to get to the iron gate, at this time the crow saw that there were a total of more than a dozen slides, five or six iron gates, each time five people went in, and the skateboard that slid to the bottom needed a special truck to transport it continuously, which was also one of the main factors for the slow travel.
Finally, the crows arrived.
The tool for skating the slide is a simple skating board, with his feet in a rope loop, and then he pulls his hands hard and slides to the end in one go, and the crow chooses the longest slide at 521 meters.
After posing, the staff helped to pushThe crow was like an arrow on the string, and it slid down in an instant. That feeling of real galloping is simply not too exciting! Galloping down from a steep starting point of up to 16 meters, it is as if you have traveled through time and space, and you are at the intersection of speed and passion, and the more than 500 meters are skied in less than a minute.
After walking down the slide, the crow felt that it was not very enjoyable, but it was really impossible to go to the queue again, so he planned to take a good look at the nearby ice sculpture art.
Just when the crow was in a few ice sculptures**, he suddenly saw a bunch of couples running towards the Ferris wheel, and the crow stepped forward to inquire only to learn: after assessment, the wind has decreased, so the Ferris wheel has actually reopened, so the crow decisively chose to queue up.
At this time, it was already half past nine, and it was only half an hour before the closing of the Ice and Snow World, but there was an endless stream of people queuing up to take the Ferris wheel.
When everyone was worried about not being able to get on the Ferris wheel, a man who looked like a security captain came up to us and said, "Don't worry, as long as you're already lined up here, you can all get on the Ferris wheel." After all, this place is going to close tomorrow, and it's not easy for you to come all the way here to play. We'll try to make everyone have a good time, and we won't let everyone run for nothing. ”
Hearing this, the people around him expressed their appreciation.
At this time, the security captain continued: "However, from now on, we can't continue to line up at the end of the line, we are willing to work overtime to accompany you to the end, but we have to rest, the big guy said, didn't you?" ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone applauded again in affirmation.
Since the efficiency of the people on the Ferris wheel is faster than that of the big ice slide, the line also moves relatively quickly, and the crows get on the Ferris wheel after queuing for 30 minutes.
The cockpit of the Ferris wheel is extremely spacious, accommodating at least eight people, and the interior is so spacious that even a person with a height of 1.8 meters can stand in it.
What's even more commendable is that the cabin is also thoughtfully equipped with heating to ensure that passengers can feel warm in winter. It's definitely one of the most comfortable Ferris wheels I've ever experienced.
As the Ferris wheel slowly rises, it is as if you have entered a quiet space isolated from the outside world. The cold wind outside the window howled, but it couldn't take away the warmth and tranquility in the cabin. I clinged to the window, staring through the glass and soaking in the view.
However, the windows in the Ferris wheel cabin are shrouded in fog from time to time. Freshly wiped windows were re-fogged in just ten seconds. In order to have a clear view of the view from the window, the passengers had to constantly wipe the window.
The world of ice and snow at night has a unique charm. Colorful lanterns weave between the ice sculptures and snow sculptures, creating colorful bands of light that reflect the stars in the night sky. The Ferris wheel kept rising, and I felt as if I was through the clouds and above the stars. The bright starlight intertwined with the lights on the ground was breathtakingly beautiful.
On this quiet night, the rotation of the Ferris wheel seems to become gentle. It slowly took me to every corner of the ice and snow world, giving me enough time to savor the beauty of every detail. I felt the purity of the snow and the depth of the night, two very different elements that blended together perfectly.
The only regret was that it was late at that time, and I didn't have a glimpse of the spectacular night view of Harbin at night.
When I stepped off the Ferris wheel, it was already more than 12 o'clock in the morning the next day, the heated insoles on the soles of my feet had failed, there was little electricity left for the electric vests and knee pads, and the crows began to be numb after standing for a long time.
At this time, the crow remembered that he had been standing for eight hours, except for sitting on the Ferris wheel and the big slide for a while, and that he had not been able to eat a proper meal that day, and that he was already hungry.
So, the crow casually searched the nearby restaurants that were still open, and then found an iron pot to stew!
Yes, it's the iron pot stew that many people dissuade crows from.
When the boss saw the crow, he was alone, and specifically emphasized, "You must not be able to finish eating." ”
But the hungry crow still chose more than 60 yuan and half a portion of pork ribs to stew in an iron pot.
So, the crow ate less than half of this half of the portion and ate it completely, and the rest had to be packed into the car refrigerator, anyway, on the sixth day of the 15th lunar month, it was going to embark on the way back to Beijing, and it should not be too late to eat it hot after returning home.
On my last night in Harbin, I stayed in the bathhouse again, asked the master to rub my back, and after a long soak in the bath, I stayed in the sauna for a while to recover.
This time the cubicle is more comfortable than the one in Shenyang, there are sheets inside, which is similar to the space capsule hotel I lived in before, and it is also more than 20 yuan to spend the night, and the sound insulation is also better.
When I got up, I found that it was already 12 o'clock at noon, and I was a little rushed to go to more attractions when I originally planned to go, after all, the 1250 kilometers of the return trip are likely to be congested than when I came, and it takes more energy.
So, the crow gave up the plan to continue the parade, and planned to eat a Russian meal and Northeast cuisine and go home, after all, this is the advantage of pure free travel, and play wherever you want, unlike a planned group tour of the special forces.
Moreover, the bathhouse in the Northeast is indeed too comfortable and luxurious, and the cost performance is extremely high, but the crow stayed to take a sauna, ate a buffet lunch before leaving, and waited until the settlement and left, at three o'clock in the afternoon!
The crow knew that this time it really couldn't be delayed any longer, so he chose to go around the ** street again, find some special Russian food and the like, and hurried back after eating, so he couldn't delay.
I walked back and forth along both ends of ** Street a few times, the purpose of which was to eliminate my appetite so that I could empty my stomach for a Russian meal.
During this time, I somehow stumbled into a different neighborhood and saw a synagogue with a six-pointed star sign.
It looks very new from the outside, but when I look closer, I realize that it is just an old site, and it is already a café inside, and it no longer has an actual religious role.
After wandering around for a while, the crow saw a stall selling a snack called chimney bread, and the boss said that this one was fifteen yuan, and after buying it, he went to the ice cream parlor and asked the other party to pour it in.
Naturally, the crow did not miss this Internet celebrity snack, so after buying bread, he went to a famous nearby ice cream shop to get a large tube full of good milk ice cream, which cost 25.
To be honest, this ice cream also caused a controversy on the Internet some time ago about the so-called "sky-high price", but after actually tasting it, the crow personally felt that it was worth this price, which was cheaper than many tourist areas that I went to before.
The crow is worried that he will not be able to eat this Russian meal again!
So, the crow chose to continue to walk briskly to eat, trying to choose one or two representative dishes before the Russian restaurant closed, and as a result, after returning to ** Street, he walked quickly along both ends of the block twice before barely eliminating most of the ice cream.
So, the crow decisively came to the nearest Russian restaurant with a good rating to eat, and his luck was not bad, so he waited for two tables before it was his turn.
Because, I don't dare to "die" anymore to challenge my appetiteSo the crow gave up the two-person ** who was six discounts, and chose to order two representative dishes single-orderly.
Crows understand that the three-person meals in many restaurants in Beijing are often only enough for two people, but the two-person meals in Harbin are definitely able to support two people, or even three people.
One dish is the famous platter of traditional Russian white meat and bacon, served with a slightly spicy sauce prepared by the restaurant.
The other dish is the more famous canned stewed beef.
In addition, if you use the review software to check in and collect the collection, you will also get a cup of homemade fresh kvass, and the crow tastes it, and the taste is much better than that of the Russian imported kvass, and the taste is fresh and does not lose the flavor.
The taste of the two dishes is acceptable, much more delicious than what the crow has eaten in Russia, and it is more appetizing, more than 120 pieces, and it is basically supported after eating.
What's more pitiful is that the crow doesn't know that the kvass in this store is the one that contains alcoholThe waiter was too busy to tell in time, and by the time the crow knew, he had already drunk about a quarter.
Worried about the risk of drunk driving, the crow had to stay on ** Street for more than four hours, even though the waiter emphasized that one hour was enough, but drunk driving could not be risked.
In this way, in the early morning of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year (February 16), the crow finally set foot on its way home.
Epilogue
Different from the Beijing-Harbin Expressway when coming, the crow's return journey chose the Harbin-Zhaozhou Expressway in the north, passed through Jilin on the way, and then took the Daguang Expressway in Inner Mongolia, passed through Tongliao, Chifeng and other places, and then entered Hebei through Chengde, and finally entered Pinggu from the northeast, which was a relatively smooth route at that time.
Originally, the crow was planning to stay in Harbin for another night before leaving, but at that time, the crow swiped a lot of return tickets that were difficult to buy, and many people chose carpooling, car rentals and long-distance buses to go back.
At this time, hesitation is about to lose, and walking is the king, and the crow plans to travel as far as possible in the middle of the night when the northern line is the most unobstructed. The ideal situation is to drive to Inner Mongolia in one go, and then find a small county town near the highway to rest.
The plan was very thorough, but the crow only ignored a key factor: the ethanol gasoline added in the northeast, and it was this ethanol gasoline that made the crow's return journey encounter a thrilling situation several times!
If you want to know what happens next, let's break it down next time.
