用英语介绍哈尔滨 150字左右

这么美丽的城市,用150 字哪能说明白呀!不过我还是用另一个角度写了一些,
Harbin is a sub-provincial city and the capital of Heilongjiang Province in Northeast China.It lies on the southern bank of the Songhua River.（Harbin is originally a Manchu word meaning 'a place for drying fishing nets.'）
Harbin today is still very much influenced by its Russian past.（A city once under Russian rule,it is now a center of trade with that country.） Called the Oriental St.Petersburg,Harbin is one of China's most beautiful cities.The city is well-known for its unique,Russian and European-influenced architecture.
Zhong Yang Street (also known as Kitaiskaia St.),（one of the main business streets in Harbin,） is a perfect remnant of the bustling international business activities at the turn of the 20th century.The 1.4-km long street is a veritable museum of European architectural styles,including Baroque and Byzantine façades,Jewish architectural wonders,little Russian bakeries,French fashion houses,American snack food outlets,and Japanese restaurants.The Russian Orthodox church:St.Sophia Cathedral is also located in this central district of Daoli.（St.Sophia took nine years to build and was completed in 1932.） It has now been made into a museum as a showcase of the multi-cultural architecture of Harbin.
Harbin is also known as 'Ice City' for its long and cold winter.
The annual Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival has been held since 1985.It starts from January 5th and lasts one month.（There are ice lantern park touring activities held in many parks in the city.Winter activities in the festival include Yabuli Alpine Skiing,winter-swimming in Songhua River,and the ice-lantern exhibition in Zhaolin Garden.Snow carving and ice and snow recreations are world famous.）
