"Well, these buildings are witnesses of history, and each one has its own story." Li Xiao responded.

They walked into a Russian-style Western restaurant, ready to taste Harbin's specialties.

"Boss, can you recommend any special dishes?" Huang Pengfei said.

The boss enthusiastically introduced: "The red sausage, pot-braised beef and kvass we have here are all very good."

"Okay, let's all have one," Huang Pengfei said boldly.

After a while, all the dishes were served. Li Xiao picked up a piece of red sausage and put it in his mouth. The aroma and chewy texture of the red sausage made his eyes light up.

"This red sausage tastes really good and very distinctive." Li Xiao praised.

Huang Pengfei is particularly fond of pot-braised beef: "This beef is very delicious and has a good texture."

After eating, they continued to wander on Central Street. There were many small shops selling Russian goods on the street, which were filled with various exquisite crafts and specialty foods.

"Old Li, look at this matryoshka doll, it's so cute!" Huang Pengfei picked up a matryoshka doll and looked at it carefully.

"Well, Russian matryoshka dolls are very famous. It would be nice to buy one as a souvenir." Li Xiao said.

They went to a small shop selling kvass, bought two bottles of kvass, and sat on a bench on the street to taste it.

"This kvass tastes very unique, a bit like beer and a bit like a drink." Huang Pengfei took a sip of kvass and said.

"Yes, kvass is Harbin's specialty drink and very popular." Li Xiao said.

After visiting Central Street, they went to see an ice lantern show. In the performance venue, the various exquisite ice lantern shapes were dazzling.

"This ice lantern is so beautiful!" Huang Pengfei looked at those crystal clear ice lanterns excitedly.

"Yes, Harbin's ice lanterns are world-famous. These ice lanterns are made with great care by artists," Li Xiao said.

After the performance, they went to a local specialty store. The store was filled with various Harbin specialties, such as red sausage, Qiulinlidos bread, Russian chocolate, etc.

"Lao Li, what do you think we should buy?" Huang Pengfei asked.

"I think I can buy more red sausages and give them to my relatives and friends. Russian chocolate is also good, and the taste is very pure." Li Xiao said.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you." Huang Pengfei began to choose specialties.

After buying the specialties, Li Xiao and Huang Pengfei stood at the end of Central Street, looking at the brightly lit street, their hearts filled with reluctance.
