Harbin New Synagogue

This synagogue was built in 1921 by the city's Jewish community, the vast majority of whom had emigrated from Russia. Beautifully restored and converted into a museum in 2004, the 2nd and 3rd floors present a fascinating exhibition (with detailed English captions) on the history and rich cultural life of Harbin’s Jews. An American guide can be arranged with at least a day's notice.
