Return to Harbin

Daqing is a wealthy oil town. We saw many oil rigs.

As in the other cities we have visited, we saw construction everywhere.

Buildings are most often constructed out of concrete. This apartment building under construction is located in Anda, near Daqing. We drove through Anda on the way back to Harbin.

Anda is the dairy capital of China. The city has 1,000 concrete statues of cows lining the streets and several dairy processing plants. At the entrance to the city is this statue of charging cows (this is the back side):

We stopped again at a rest area on the toll road back to Harbin. These farmers are harvesting corn just at sunset.
