Though not a typical tourist spot, Harbin No.134 Middle School offers a glimpse into the educational heartbeat of this ice city. The historic building boasts Soviet-inspired architecture, with its brick-red facade and arched windows creating picturesque contrasts against winter snow. Vibrant community life unfolds around campus – catch students' laughter between classes, and don't miss the street vendors selling candied hawthorns by the gate for authentic local flavors.
