On October 22, 1909, Ahn Jung-geun arrived in Harbin with his comrades. Then, a meticulous race against time began in an unfamiliar city to track Ito Hirobumi's itinerary and choose the best site for the strike.

From Kim Seong-baek's home to Zhaolin Park, where they pledged their resolve; to Caijiagou Station, where they set up their plan; and to Jihong Bridge, where Ahn Jung-geun scouted Harbin Station from above.
