About Harbin
Northernmost major Chinese city, built by the Russian railway and still showing it. Its winters are severe enough that an ice festival became the local industry.
Population about 4,500,000 at the game's 2010 snapshot.
Harbin is a business market: its traffic comes from companies and connections rather than from holidays, which rewards frequency over seat count.
