📍 City Impression
Nizhny Novgorod, a thousand-year-old city at the confluence of the Volga and Oka rivers, is a highlight in the long scroll of Russian history. It was once the industrial heart of the Soviet era, but now it has transformed into a cultural treasure house - red brick churches coexist with steel behemoths, classical literature and modern art are intertwined, and even the air is filled with the aroma of vodka and historical pages.
🕰️ History Rampage Guide
1️⃣ Kremlin Exploration
The Kremlin in Nizhny Novgorod is one of the oldest existing Kremlins in Russia! The 14th-century Annunciation Cathedral is hidden in the red brick walls, and the stained glass flows with the mysterious light and shadow of the Orthodox Church in the sun. Climb up the Ivan Bell Tower and you can see the magnificence of the Volga River.
💡Tips: Tickets are required for the church area. It is recommended to book an electronic tour on the official website in advance (Chinese voice is supported~).
2️⃣ Gorky&#39;s Time Track
Walking into the Gorky Museum, the wooden floor creaks, as if you can still hear the typewriter of this literary giant. There are bronze statues standing in the nearby Gorky Square, and pigeons are pacing at your feet, which is suitable for taking a &quot;pretend to be in Europe&quot; art blockbuster.
3️⃣ Puppet Theater: Fairy tales shine into reality
Don&#39;t miss the oldest Obrazov Puppet Theater in Russia! Founded in 1945, it uses marionettes to perform &quot;Swan Lake&quot; and &quot;The Brothers Karamazov&quot;, which even adults will shed tears.

Travel Tips
✅ Exchange rubles in advance, as some small shops do not support credit cards
✅ The Kremlin is closed on Mondays, so don&#39;t go empty-handed
✅ Come in winter to experience ice fishing + sauna on the Volga River, a world of ice and fire!
Nizhny Novgorod, this underestimated &quot;Pearl of the Volga&quot;, is waiting for you to unveil its heavy historical curtain. Whether it&#39;s a literary pilgrimage, a food adventure, or just wanting to hang out by the river, this place can surprise you - after all, even Gorky said: &quot;My childhood is here, and my soul is here too.&quot; 🇷🇺✨

I like the decoration style very much, it is very romantic, the price/performance ratio is very high and the taste is good.
