Q: Anything to do or see in Harbin?

I've seen the wikiTravels page, but still not sure what to do. Anyone else in Harbin? Have you tried anything and liked it/disliked it? I'd also enjoy shopping reviews/pointers if you have them.

Shopping is actually quite good. The square where the old Russian church is has a shopping centre underneath it. OMG. Never seen so many shoes in my life. The shops above ground are expensive. Go under ok? Hamamas is a pretty good place to chill out with a coffee and a sandwich. On the corner there at Hamamas is one of the best tended marijuana plantations you're ever likely to see in the middle of a large city. Got photos - hard to believe!
Subway being constructed. Lots of foreigners most of whom are Russian and all of whom are disliked. Taxi drivers are baaaaddd and because they think every foreigner is a Russian they won't stop to pick you up unless you hire a local to wave one down for you.
Then of course there is the beer festival, just finished about 6 weeks ago and then the Ice Expo which is an absolute must see, just once. Temperature around -40 so dress accordingly.
Oh, the tiger park is in Harbin as well.

There are lots of Russian women shopping there, They would be fun to do I am sure. If not you can do the Chinese girls that are there instead. I hear they like ice there so bring a bag with you, it seems they lost the recipe and cannot make their own anymore.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
