Lake Baikal Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Beautiful scenery is always beautiful no matter how you shoot it
Lake Baikal.
The blue ice season is from the end of January to February, and it starts to melt on March 20.
Around New Year's Day in early January, the blue ice is still slowly accumulating, and there are initial fragments of ice on the shore, but there is no large-scale blue ice.
The blue ice is on the north line, and the bubble ice and ice caves are on the south line.
Lake Baikal is divided into the south line and the north line. The viewing points are scattered. We play one day on the north line and one day on the south line. There are no shops or restaurants around.
The north side has a fast flow rate, and the fragmented ice is pushed to the shore layer by layer to finally form blue ice.
The south side has already frozen in early January, and you can drive and hovercraft on the ice. Bubble ice needs to be watered to be seen on snowy days.
You need to live on Olkhon Island.
To get to the island, you need to take a boat and then a bus. The journey is not short, so you live on the island during this time. There is a supermarket near the accommodation, which is very convenient. But because of water protection, there is no underground drainage on the island, and there is no hot water later (there is in the morning and afternoon, take a bath early)❕❕The place where we live also has a note not to wash large items of clothing.
Travel by bus.
If you are cold, you can rest in the car. The driver is very considerate and will close the door and turn on the heater when he sees us returning to the car. The journey is very bumpy but it is not easy to get carsick.
The two-day lunch on the north and south lines is also cooked by the driver. The process is surprisingly complete and there are small desserts~!
You can take a small train in Lake Baikal in summer.
There are flowers by Lake Baikal in summer. The small train will stop operating around October, so it is awkward to go to Lake Baikal in November, with no ice or small train.
Our 💳Russia can't be swiped‼️
International 💳visa, mastercard also do not work, so friends who go to play, remember to exchange currency.
It was also this time that I knew, heavily underline
Traffic
The most cost-effective is to buy a phone card in advance, if you don't have time, family❕Check your phone for a built-in virtual card like Huawei Skytone before subscribing to a data package❕The signal is better than roaming and may be more cost-effective than roaming.
We were supposed to have wifi, but the counter before and after security check was off work and we couldn't get it. It may not be uncommon for recent flights to Irkutsk.
And the whole Irkutsk area, especially the island, the signal is not very good and unstable, one night it went straight to the point where only text messages could be sent (at this time the signal of the local card and the virtual card is better than roaming).
English is not very useful
Many times I found that English was not working, including but not limited to airports, hotels and style street stores.
This is the 'Beside the Lake Baikal' sung by Li Jian
🎈'North Line of Lake Baikal'
The Lake Baikal in early January is still in the off-season, but it has already partially frozen! The temperature is between -5 and -20 degrees~ As long as you protect your ears, there is no big problem~
Most of them are small steel cannons driving on the road~ The individual tourists and groups cost about 2300 rubles per person + 600 rubles for tickets~ We chartered a car for 14000 rubles for 4 people~
The scenery is still quite beautiful! On the way back, we encountered a beautiful sunset The sense of happiness came all at once~

Do you know these little tips for traveling to Russia?
How to play in Russia❓ Although tourism is not the main industry in Russia, it is definitely a seriously underestimated treasure of tourism, and the recent climate is also very pleasant☀ Here you can check in the capital of Russia, Moscow and one of the super beautiful cities, St. Petersburg🏰
👍For the first time, it is recommended to go with a group because English is not commonly used in Russia❌, language communication is a big problem, like booking hotels, transportation problems are more troublesome
In addition, you will be shocked by its various majestic buildings, such as the Catherine Palace, the Kremlin, the Winter Palace Museum, the Summer Garden, and the Red Square. A casual shot is a big scene📷
❗【About the precautions for traveling to Russia to help you avoid 80% of the pits】
①Language problem
English is not a common language in Russia, so remember to download the translation software in advance, and other things like transportation and accommodation are best arranged in advance in China to save a lot of trouble
②About cash
Remember to exchange some rubles at the bank in China before departure, restaurants and attractions do not directly accept foreign currency, Visa cards are currently not available in Russia, you can also bring some cash to exchange locally
③Toilets have to pay
Many toilets in Russia need to be paid, about 50 rubles, so if you are in a museum or encounter a free toilet, it is recommended that you go up if you can
In addition, be careful of those who are dressed in doll costumes or princess costumes and enthusiastically take pictures with you!
④About the bald party
In fact, the public security in Russia is much better than the legend. The so-called "bald party" that specializes in hitting foreigners is almost gone in Russia. As long as Chinese tourists abide by the local order and show a high level of cultivation, Russians will also be very friendly, but in crowded places, they still need to pay attention to anti-theft~

The Red Square in Moscow on Christmas seems like a fairy tale world
On the first day in Moscow, I couldn't wait to come to the Red Square.
The atmosphere is too good, reflecting the heavy snowfall, colorful lights and flags.
So, the Christmas abroad is so atmospheric.
There are market areas, play areas, and skating areas.
The heavy snowfall is too romantic!

Winter Palace Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Come to St. Petersburg to see the most beautiful buildings, as well as autumn leaves.
St. Petersburg is like a weather-beaten old man. He still uses his profound historical culture and profound culture to create a peaceful and open attitude, telling the legend that the United States can save the world.
St. Petersburg is one of the first cities in the world to be built according to a unified style. It includes almost all the classic architectures of the world from the 18th to the 20th century and Russia. The architectural treasures are numerous, the city It is an open-air architectural museum itself.
Looking at it, the buildings in St. Petersburg are quite contemporary, and the city center does not see a modern building. This feature is rare in major cities around the world. St. Petersburg is enough to dominate the world's classical city. These buildings with centuries of history have both Baroque and Rococo styles; they are both symmetrical and destabilizing; they pursue both grandeur and sculpture details, and each detail embedded in the building is unique. The language speaks of the past of St. Petersburg.
[Recommended spots]
1Hermitage
2Savior on Spilled Blood Cathedral
3 Summer Palace
4Paul Cathedral
It has been said that people who study architecture must go to St. Petersburg once in their lifetime. Not a fake, this is really a paradise in the architectural world.
The Hermitage Museum of the Winter Palace, one of the four major museums in the world, is not inferior to the Louvre, enough for a whole day;
Nevsky Avenue is very similar to the French Champs Elysees and the streets The flowers thought back to the Netherlands, and the European architecture on both sides of the river was like Venice.
European cities are really similar. Then the ancient prosperity, such a profound heritage, just like the glory of the Tsar period is still in sight.
Come to Russia, you can miss any city, don't miss St. Petersburg
Known as one of the world's four major museums, the Hermitage Museum (commonly known as the Winter Palace), (the French Louvre, the British Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of the United States and the Russian Hermitage Museum), a large collection of art It takes a day for me to make a rush. Go in and remember to take the floor plan at the service desk. The clothes can be stored. The number of lockers for the backpacks is too small. Only the first batch of tourists can grab them. Tickets only support one entry, although there are cafes in it, but it is recommended that everyone should eat well and then go in. After passing the ticket gate, it is the stairs on the second floor. The corridor that turns right without going up the stairs leads to the restroom, coffee shop, gift shop and first floor exhibition hall. The essence exhibits are in the third building on the second floor (there are a total of three buildings that can be visited, connected). Before you visit, be sure to plan the route to avoid going back and forth. Otherwise, you can't stand the legs.
Through so many museums in the world, the Winter Palace is still my favorite.
Perhaps the number of collections is not comparable to that of the metropolis, but the exquisiteness of the building itself is unparalleled. The building itself is an outstanding example of the Russian Baroque style in the mid-18th century. The amazing quality art collection makes it even more like London. Together with the British Museum, the Louvre in Paris, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, it is known as the World's Four Major Museums.
According to historical records, the entire Winter Palace building was based on the time of Queen Peter II's daughter, Queen Elizabeth II. Queen Elizabeth hired the Italian architect Rattiri to supervise the construction of the winter official. It was completed in 1762 in 1754 and became the masterpiece of Russian Baroque architecture. From the date of completion to 1917, the Winter Palace has been Honored royal palace.
The entire museum is divided into three floors, divided into 400 rooms by Arabic numerals, from one to a group of 20 numbers for a specific theme exhibit, with countless walkways, cloisters, stairs, It is distributed in the main buildings of the Winter Palace, the Little Hermit, and the Great Hermit. From the archaeological excavations thousands of years ago to the avant-garde paintings of the 20th century, from the first moment of entering the museum, it is to enjoy one. The unique visual and spiritual feast!

The Red Square and the Kremlin in the sun, the beautiful fairy tale
a bustling city will never lack a story, even in the beautiful and invincible Moscow, the one that left me the most impressed is the local friendly people.
The advantage of being a couch is that it can be fully integrated into the lives of local people. From the casual image of the home, to the glamorous and outgoing social, each side has diversity. Every time I left, the sofa owners said to me, "I don't want to go, I really hope to live for a few more days." It is the feeling that I feel most sure of the sofa.
The "No stranger in my world" advocated by the sofa is a manifestation of great love. This time Moscow's sofa master Alex and her wife Sasha are very warm and friendly, not only gave me a lot of good advice, made breakfast for me, adjusted the class time, and sent me a bunch of snacks. I also successfully turned from a grandmother killer into a doll killer, and I was struggling with Leo, two and a half years old, hoping to wait for him to grow up in China.
