Among them, the Central Avenue, which has a history of more than 100 years, has a high frequency of appearances.
Today's Central Avenue not only retains the European style and the charm of the era in the lens of "Above the Cliff", but also has the urban connotation of fashion and romance.
Strolling in the streets, stepping on the breadstones that have been time-tested, and feeling the elegance of the world's architectural art, it is a must-choice place for tourists to check in Harbin.
Asia Cinema is one of the earliest luxury cinemas in China, and it has a history of more than one hundred years.
As one of the important scenes in the film, the appearance of Asia Cinema left a deep impression on the audience, carried the unique fate of Harbin, the city and the development of film culture, and also evoked the memories of many "old Harbin people".
The Madier Hotel was built in 1906 and is known as a representative work of Art Nouveau architectural style.
In Russian, "Madeer" means modern fashion.
Even after going through ups and downs, the modern hotel still has an undiminished style, with a blend of modern and elegant flavors, and the popularity of Madele delicacies such as popsicles, bread, yogurt, and red sausage.

In addition to the unique humanistic environment, the film crew also takes root in Xuexiang, presenting the extremely cold, snowy, and biting natural environment of northern China.
Xuexiang Scenic Area, due to its long snow season, good snow quality, and high viscosity, forms the ultimate snow scene unique to China. It is a favorite choice for filming major film and television dramas.
Every winter, tourists from all over the country flock in, looking forward to the snow.
In addition, the Hengdaohezi Railway Station, the Commercial Library, the Harbin Police Department of the Puppet Manchukuo, and other places have preserved the tragic years, telling the vicissitudes of the past. With the popularity of the film, the attention of the prototypes of these sceneries has continued to rise, attracting tourists to explore the red course on the spot, re-understand Harbin and fall in love with Heilongjiang.
