Beijing is great

It may be too late, but I recommend Beijing. Harbin gets COLD and I feel there is more culture in Beijing. The pollution is pretty bad, but it does get better everyday. I won't lie to you, there will be some days that are simply disgusting, but those days are rather rare.
Beijing has a very strong western community, so strong that you can have all western friends if you want.
For a school for your kids I suggest looking into international schools.
This reply may be too late so I don't want to get into too much detail. Let me know if this was helpful and if you are still deciding, or if you ahve made your decision.
Cheers
