It was the wife of Peter I in 1717, and his daughters Queen Elizabeth, Catherine II, Alexander I and Nicholas. The second favorite suburban palace. In order to show its identity, the area where the palace is located (including the Alexander Palace and the White Tower viewing platform, etc.) was called Tsar Village or Imperial Village after it was built. In 1937, it was renamed "Pushkin Village" to commemorate Pushkin's childhood. "Blonde" Appearance Ekaterina Palace is a two-story palace with a facade of more than 300 meters. It is mainly composed of blue, white and yellow. It is said that these represent the blue eyes of the hostess, White skin and blond hair. The architects added the palace church and the wing for administration, and the top was covered with five splendid and characteristic onion-shaped domes. The radiant interior is different from the fresh temperament outside the palace. The interior of the palace can be described as radiant and shrouded in golden light. From the entrance, go through the promenade on the first floor of the Yekaterina Palace to the main staircase leading to the second floor. The main staircase is more distinctive, with two-way lighting, and the decoration is a bit Rococo style. Marble sculptures "Sleeping Eros" and "Awakening Eros". There are also two exhibition halls at the entrance on the right side of the second floor, where various cultural exhibitions are often held. The magnificent reception hall is in the palace, and the splendid halls are one after another, forming a "golden corridor". Each room is named "Red Column Hall" and "Green Column Hall" according to different colors. The grandiose room in the palace was this spacious reception hall on the right hand side of the main staircase, where Elizabeth received her guests. There are large double-row windows on both sides of the hall, giant mirrors are set between the windows and on the walls on both sides of the hall, all decorations in the hall are gilded, and oil paintings are painted on the huge dome. Such designs are meant to confuse people's senses to cement Elizabeth's godlike status. This is not only her reception hall, but also her game room.

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~ For more itinerary content, click on the product details page below❤DEVIN JOHNSTON14

Catherine’s PalaceIt’s a one day trip, 30 km from St. Petersburg to the town called Tsarskoye Selo (Pushkin). Catherine’s Palace was a summer residence of Russian Emperors. It’s incredibly beautiful!!! It was destroyed during the World War II, but was renovated and continues to impress visitors with its luxury royal style. Complex has lots of interesting separated exhibitions, but the main sightseeing is, of course, the Palace. It’s better to come here with touristic groups, because they can organize the entrance tickets quicker than in direct queue. It’s possible to wait for your turn for couple of hours, but this place is worth every second. There are amazing parks all around the Palace. So, I recommend you to wear comfortable boots . You will have a lot of places to visit here. #bucketlistrebootS_lanaS6

Most beautiful palace in Russia#2024wish Catherine Palace is a mesmerizing blend of elegance and history in St. Petersburg. The intricate details of the Amber Room, the vastness of the Great Hall, and the picturesque landscaped gardens make it a treasure trove for cultural exploration. A visit to Catherine Palace is like stepping into a bygone era of imperial splendor. 🌟🏰 I wish to visit Germany in 2024Quest Journey
Catherine PalaceCatherine Palace The Catherine Palace, also known as the Palace of Catherine the Great, was built to showcase status. The area where the palace is located is also known as the Tsar's Village or Royal Village. The palace is located in Pushkin, 25 kilometers south of St. Petersburg, Russia. It was built during the time of Peter the Great and has a Baroque-style royal garden, a "blonde hair and blue eyes" exterior, a dazzling interior, and a beautiful and spectacular French-style garden.PhoenixRider871
Every day in Russia, whether it is a blue sky, a gray bleak, or a heavy rain, the cloud can never ignore the protagonist. It is sometimes like a cotton bud, and sometimes its like a wave of tumbling freedom. People can't move. It is also the most beautiful supporting role: after the church, the palace, the foothills, the floating body, the stretching and the close combination, let the scenery fit into the sky just right. From an unhappy queen of marriage to the Queen of the Winds, Ekaterina is like the Queen of Wu Zetian of China, leaving behind stories, controversies and even suspense. Originally known as Sophia, she was a princess of the German Principality, but it was beyond everyone's expectations and became the strongest empress in European history. Ekaterina II had no right to inherit the Russian throne, but controlled and manipulated the male-dominated world for 35 years, second only to Peter the Great's 43-year ruling record. During the reign of Ekaterina II, Russia made it into the ranks of the world's powers. It is no exaggeration to say that without her there would be no powerful Russian empire. The most famous phrase of Ekaterina has made all Europeans tremble: if I can live to be two hundred years old, all Europe will be at my feet.Blue Tulip.1
Different from the fresh temperament of the Ekaterina Palace garden, the palace is full of brilliance, shrouded in golden light, and extremely luxurious. Put a disposable shoe cover from the entrance of the first floor, and a staff member will lead us to visit. The whole layout is that there is one passage on the main entrance and the back of each floor, that is, the team in the positive direction and the opposite direction visit at the same time. This way, you won't be crowded when you visit each hall. In the palace, the magnificent hall is indirectly formed into a "golden corridor", and each room is named "Red Column Hall" and "Green Column Hall" according to the color. The more famous exhibition halls on the second floor are the White Ballroom, the Knight Ballroom, the Red Column Hall, the Green Column Hall, the Amber Hall, the Portrait Gallery and the Chinese living room of Alexander I.

Yekaterinna Palace, also known as Tsar Village, was built by Queen Ekaterina II. The pattern of the palace is that the architecture is exquisite and obscene, the color is fresh and soft, and the feminine and feminine charm of the woman is filled. It can be said that poetry is everywhere in the garden, everywhere is painting, everywhere is fascinating with melody, everywhere is filled with the fragrance of flowers and plants, the Queen's life before the sound of dogs and horses, arrogant and obscene atmosphere is still licking the whole garden. It was included in the United Nations World Heritage List in 1990. If Peter's Palace is the embodiment of Peter the Great's will, then Huangcun mainly reflects the ideals and tastes of Ekaterina II.

For many palaces in Russia, there are actually gardens and palaces themselves. Most of the gardens are exquisite but not lacking in atmosphere. If you dont know enough about the history of my great Russia, if you only enter one, then recommend Catherine. Palace, after all, as a generation of empresses, the palace itself is more delicate and feminine, and will not be a big consideration. ~ Legend has three famous Russian emperors, except Peter the Great, as the famous Russian empress Yekaterin Na II is also among them. The third is of course Vladimir Putin. ~ In fact, for free travellers, it is free for 16 or 12-year-old children. Compared with Datianchao, the fare is still close to the people. Remember that the visit is one-way, that is, if you have passed, you cant look back. So, if you want to visit carefully, you need to know the situation in advance and do a good job. In the midsummer, it is the tourist season. Whether it is a team or an individual, there are many tourists.Rachel..1
Traveling to St. Petersburg, in addition to going to the Hermitage Summer Palace, you must go to Yekaterinna Palace. Also known as Tsar Village is built by Queen Ekaterina II. The details show the feminine and feminine charm of the women. The garden is even more pleasant. The children can go to the garden in the past~ side When I look at the scenery and listen to her past events, you can't help but think about it~ Don't look so small and fresh outside, but I think of the golden splendor, there is actually an amber house, it is a must, right for the amber house. Take a photo~Cherry..
In fact, before we came to Ye Gong, we were hesitant. First of all, the day before we went to the Summer Palace and the Winter Palace, the journey has been more rushing. Previously, I found out on the Internet that the structure and mode of Ye Gong is basically the same as that of the Summer Palace. Is it necessary to spend most of the day going to a large garden so far? And because of the freedom of travel, there is no guide to lead the story of the cultural relics in the palace, and often only take pictures and punch cards. It turns out that we think that Ye Gong and Xia Gong are exactly the same. . As far as the overall aesthetics are concerned, the Summer Palace may be even better. So whether to go, I think if time is very urgent, you can give up. If there is plenty of time, it is worth seeing. In the park, the adult ticket is 120 rubles, the student ticket is 60 rubles; the palace adult ticket is 400 rubles, and the student ticket is 200 rubles.Zhou_Yusi.

For the sake of the great Ye Emperor, of course, we must support this attraction. Ye Emperor was originally a great monarch at the level of Tang Zong and Song ancestors. Unfortunately, the Ming Palace of the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty Palace have only left relics today. There is no doubt that you can feel the great glory of Ye Emperor.
