The Church of the Intercession, formerly also called the Ukrainian Church in Harbin, is currently the only Orthodox Church in Harbin, and indeed in all of mainland China, open to Chinese nationals for regular worship.
In 1902, a prayer house was built in the Russian cemetery.
In 1922, as the China Eastern Railway was being built, the Russians built a wooden church building at the site of current church.
In 1930, the China Eastern Railway donated the present stone church building. The architect was Tidanov.
Until 1947, the congregation was composed predominantly of Ukrainians who had fled east from the Russian Revolution in 1917.
In 1958, during Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution, as the Chinese-Soviet relationship soured, the Russians and Ukrainians left China, forcing discontinuance of the church activities.
On 14 October [O.S. 1 October] 1984, coinciding with the church's patron saint's feast day, the restoration of the temple was finally completed, and it reopened for worship services, conducted by Father Gregory Zhu Shipu, who served at the church from its re-opening until his passing in 2000, leaving the temple without a permanent rector for fifteen years, until the installation of recently-ordained Father Alexander Yu Shi, whose first liturgy was the Orthodox Easter Service on April 18, 2016
