	Harbin : Introduction \| Frommers.com
		Harbin (Ha'erbin), originally a Russian-built railway outpost carved out of the wilderness on the banks of the Songhua Jiang (Sungari River), is the northernmost major city in China and capital of Heilóngjiang Province.
		Like many border regions, it is an amalgamation of clashing extremes, home to one of China's roughest mountain ranges (the Greater Hinggan or Dà Xing'an Ling), some of its most fertile soil, its largest oil and coal fields, its most pristine wilderness, and most of its few remaining nomad groups.
		Harbin itself suffers from a similar internal antagonism, one that ultimately makes it the most compelling destination in Dongbei.
