World Cup Soccer-China Style

World Cup Soccer-China Style

Viewing the world cup to most people means sitting in front of the TV at home or maybe going to a sports bar. In Harbin, the downtown area has outdoor TVs setup at outdoor fast food malls and near the Wal-Mart there is a huge TV set up for public viewing. The main program is soccer.

Last night Japan-Croatia was shown and enthusiastic crowds were viewing the games.

Nightlife
There is no bar/nightclub style nightlife. Here people enjoy strolling down the main street mall which leads to a lovely riverside walkway. Downtown buildings feature traditional old style Russian architecture, not the modern ugly rectangular buildings.
