Qiulin Company Flagship (秋林公司, Dong Dazhi Street)

Qiulin Company Flagship is at 320 Dong Dazhi Street in Harbin's Nangang District, Heilongjiang province. It is the flagship store of the Qiulin brand, whose history in Harbin began in 1900 and whose historic store building is tied to the city's Russian-era commercial past. Qiulin is best known for Harbin red sausage, and the flagship is a department-store-style shop selling sausage, kvass and sweets, rather than a sit-down restaurant.

The emblematic product is red sausage, sold at about 38.8 yuan per jin (500 grams), roughly 6 US dollars. Kvass, the lightly fermented bread-based drink that is a Harbin staple, is the usual beverage, and the shelves also carry sweets and candies in Russian-influenced styles that make popular gifts. Visitors typically buy vacuum-packed sausage to take home or eat a slice on the spot.

The store has a retail rather than dining atmosphere, with counters, display cases and a steady flow of shoppers. There is no dress code, no reservation, and no seating-focused dining room. Noise levels are moderate. Its location on Dong Dazhi Street places it in a more local, less touristy part of the city than Central Street, so it often feels calmer.

Prices are low and purchases are made at the counters. Opening hours are roughly 09:00 to 21:00 daily, and visitors should confirm on Amap. Weekends and the winter festival season, roughly late December to February, are the busiest. For a longer trip, sausage should be bought vacuum-sealed and kept cool, and travellers flying should check airline and customs rules on carrying meat products across borders.
