Big Bread (da mianbao) is another specialty that bears obvious Russian influence.
These huge breads are round in shape and can weigh as much as 6 pounds. Aside
from size and weight, what makes this particular bread popular with locals and
foreigners is the European flavor. When you come to Harbin to appreciate the
Russian architecture, don't forget to sample this crispy-on the-outside yet
soft within bread!

The harsh climate in Harbin helps toughen up the physique of every species
of living animal. Dog salmon (Damaha yu) is no exception. To withstand the freezing
cold in winter, which can drop to temperatures as low as minus 40 degrees C,
the salmon in Harbin grows a layer of fat, making it extra tasty for use in
fish dishes such as fish slices, fish ball soup and salted fish.When you visit
Harbin, don't forget to sample this "survivor of the fittest"!
Harbin SausageThroughout history, Russia, just several hundred miles away from
Harbin, has exerted a significant impact on the city, also manifested in the
diet of the local people. Sausage seems to be much more popular here than in
other places in China. The major difference between Harbin sausage and Russian,
lies in the seasoning. Chinese style sausage contains cinnamon and round cardamom
and the Harbinese enjoy a good drink with it!
