Russia Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

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.

Siberia's blue eyes, beautiful to the point of becoming a god!!

1500 rubles per person, a suitcase 250 rubles. The journey takes about 5 hours, passing through rest areas on the way, Similar to domestic, there will be places to eat You can look at the rural scenery of Russia on the road, but it will be bumpy all the way, if you can sleep, you will wake up to find that you are already driving on the ice of Lake Baikal. Here I was also asked for the first time not to fasten my seat belt in the car. And the driver is still driving at 80 codes on the ice! It's exciting all the way, about 20 minutes to get on the island, Then drive half an hour mountain road to reach the village. As for accommodation, there is no big difference here, there is no particularly recommended, Now you can book directly on domestic apps. The car back to Irkutsk can be booked for you by the hotel, Usually depart in the morning, the cost is the same 1500 rubles. In fact, it's quite convenient to get to Lake Baikal from China, As long as you figure out how to take the bus, there's no problem. Time: From the end of December to May of the following year, it is the season when Lake Baikal is frozen, and March is the most beautiful time of blue ice ✅Transportation: Direct flight from Beijing to Irkutsk, then take a bus to Lake Baikal, or take the international train-R69/R8, depart from Hohhot, pass through Mongolia, Lake Baikal and other scenic spots, and finally arrive at Irkutsk ✅Weather: In winter, it is basically around minus 20-30 degrees, and the surface temperature of the bubble ice is at least minus 40 degrees. The thicker the clothes, the better, and Siberia is very dry, so be sure to bring all kinds of moisturizing skin care products ✅Time difference: The time in Lake Baikal is the same as Beijing time in China, no time difference 💁‍♀️PS: In low temperature environment, the camera battery will run out quickly, the battery life is only half of the usual, so try not to expose the camera to too low temperature for a long time, or choose to buy equipment to make up for this: ①Low temperature resistant battery ②Camera warm cover, enter the room to bring a plastic bag, to prevent the camera from fogging

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~

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.
