The New Jewish Synagogue was built in 1921 to acomodate over 800 worshippers. The Jewish community was once quite large in the city, numbering up to 25,000, and the synagogue is now a museum showcasing their history. At 25 yuan only, it is a bargain and the historic photos are quite fascinating.











The Flood Control Monument was built in 1958 and is now part of Stalin Park which stretches along the riverfront. With the river frozen behind it, there are all sorts of activities available, including ice bicycles and slides.
