China's Secret North: Harbin's Russian Chinese Border Towns

In the far, far north of China, right on the border between China and Russia, lies a region with a very interesting history. This is an area that used to be controlled by the Russians. Harbin, one of China's major cities, used to be majority Russian; and there are towns where you'll find an unexpected minority group: the "Russian Chinese", people of Russian descent who only speak Mandarin!

Let's embark on a journey to learn about fake Russian import shops, the size of Russian-Chinese sausages, and how the locals view interracial marriage. This was my final stop in China.
