Two projects from Harbin, capital of China's northernmost Heilongjiang province, made the Heilongjiang National Cultural Protection, Inheritance and Utilization Project Reserve Bank list during the 14th Five-Year Plan Period (2021-25).
 
This was recently announced by the Heilongjiang Provincial Reform and Development Commission, and a total of 49 projects across the province were included on the list.
