Harbin is a possible starting or finishing station for the Trans-Siberian Railway. There are also good road connections between most places in northern China, but in the eastern Jilin and the northern parts of the Heilongjiang provinces the roads are only navigable between June and September. The rest of the year they are iced and traffic is very problematic.
