The most famous cathedral in Harbin
The St.Sofia Orthodox Church is the largest Orthodox Church in the Far East. The St.Sofia Orthodox Church is 53.35 meters high.
It covers an area of 721 square meters. It's the typical representative of the Byzantine architecture. The church is majestic and extremely beautiful. All the walls of the church adopt red brick.
There is a huge onion-shaped dome on the top of the church. Four tent-shaped arch roofs are distributed around it in different sizes. There are stairs to connect four buildings.
It has four entrances in four directions. At the top of the main entrance is the Bell Tower. Seven copper bells just stand for seven notes.
The trained ringer strikes them with his hands and feet. People can hear a ripple of melodious ding. The lofty St.Sofia Orthodox Church is a unique human landscape with exoticism in Harbin.
