The city of Harbin has an estimated population of 5.5 million which makes it the fortieth most populated city in the world. Despite the undeniable presence of significant poverty in and around the city, the city is scattered with multi-million dollar skyscrapers such as these. I have always beleived that one can always find vast amounts of beauty inside big cities. So far in Harbin, I feel defeated in that the only truly beautiful cityscapes that I have observed have relied on either the sky or the river as aids.
