STORYLINE:
While most cities in China are awash with tourists wearing traditional Chinese costumes posing for travel snapshots, visitors to Harbin in northeastern China opt for Western-style aristocratic attire to celebrate the city's distinct Western heritage.
The metropolis now boasts 16 different architectural styles - Byzantine, neo-classical, art deco, baroque and more, and its historical buildings number over 1,000.
Iconic buildings such as St. Sophia Church are evidence of European migration, trade and culture that dated back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries after the construction of the Chinese Eastern Railway. Records show Harbin was once home to people from over 30 countries.
Now, a city-wide project is underway to create a digital database for detailed information on Harbin's historical buildings,
