Originally called Jiangpan Park, located on the south bank of the Songhua River, it is an open park built along the embankment with a strip shape. It imitates the classical Russian architectural style and features the "Five Color Flower Beds" throughout the park, as well as sixteen art sculptures such as "Swans Spreading Their Wings," "Three Youths," "Starting Point," "Diving," and "Sword Dance" scattered among the green areas. It faces the famous Sun Island across the river. In addition, the centerpiece of the park is the Flood Control Memorial Tower, a symbol of Harbin city, built to commemorate the people of Harbin overcoming the catastrophic flood in 1957.

There is a variety of food on Central Street, including cafes and food courts, but the most recommended one is Russian cuisine. You can experience exotic delicacies without leaving the country. This Russian restaurant has a unique facade, possibly converted from a Russian-style building. The interior is warm, bright, and suitable for gatherings. The borscht is sour and sweet, but some may find it hard to drink. The creamy mushroom soup is excellent with a rich creamy flavor. The pot-roasted beef is tender with a full pot and potatoes underneath. The grilled sausage platter is large, with a hint of garlic flavor and very delicious. Traditional meat sauce spaghetti is suitable for children. The presentation and taste are both good, I recommend you to try it. After dinner, you can also enjoy the night view of Central Street, which is very beautiful.
