"How many years later, the past went with the clouds; The chaos of ice and snow can't hold tenderness. This life, this time too little, not enough to prove the deep feeling of melting ice and snow; Imagine that one day, the past will reappear; We are lingering on the shore of Lake Baikal. "
Li Jian's song "Lake Baikal" makes people yearn for strolling along the beautiful Lake Baikal with their lover, or meeting a beautiful encounter here! Lake Baikal is called "the bright eyes of Siberia". Lake Baikal in winter has a unique charm!
Lake Baikal is located in Irkutsk and Buryatia in southern Siberia, Russia, and it is11km away from the Mongolian border. It is the deepest freshwater lake with the largest storage capacity in the world.
The lake is rich in species and is a treasure house of natural resources and biodiversity. There are 1085 species of plants and 1550 species of animals living here, 80% of which are endemic, and there are many unique freshwater creatures in the world, which are called "Galapagos Islands in Russia". The lake is also one of the main fishing grounds in Russia.
This season, when you go to Lake Baikal, you can see the lake gently patting the shore and kissing the fluffy snow and the turquoise ice. The setting sun splashed colors on the water of the sky, dazzling the ever-changing colors and gradually sinking into the horizon.
I think everything there is pure. Forget all the unpleasantness I experienced this year and let nature purify our body and mind!
Hold his or her hand tightly at this moment, close your eyes and enjoy this moment quietly; Or sing "Lake Baikal" while playing, and feel Li Jian's mood and feelings at that time!
A must-have experience of going to Lake Baikal in winter.
Look at Lan Bing condensed in a deep lake.
As beginning of winter, the first snow every year basically comes at the end of 10. Although it snowed at the end of 10, due to the huge water body of Lake Baikal, it will not be completely frozen until New Year's Day, especially in the middle and late February of 10, which is the most beautiful season of smog in Lake Baikal. From entering the lake area to reaching the center of Listvyanka town, there are spectacular rimes on both sides of the road.
Every year from 10 to May in 65438, Lake Baikal has been frozen, with a thickness of 90 cm and an average temperature of -38. However, its beauty will not be reduced by half.
There are some bubbles hidden under the blue ice. Maybe you can go deep into Lake Baikal. If you pry open the ice, you can catch a glimpse of some untouchable creatures.
Looking along the road, the sky painted the lake as transparent as ice crystals with wet blue, just like an oil painting. Depth and depth obviously extend indefinitely. It's not like the salt lake or the South Pole. It is a kind of unspeakable grandeur, which belongs only to the mysterious Siberia.
Among them, the most attractive thing is: outside Irkutsk Language and Culture University, I put up a sign from China to practice oral English with you. In less than 10 minutes, there must be a Russian girl to practice your spoken English. It should also be noted that because it is a small city, you need to contact the accommodation in advance to pick up the car. Tonight, we stayed at Irkutsk City Hotel, which is considered as a youth hotel. I'm not sensitive to the price of 10 room, so I think it's very cheap, 600 rubles a person. The decoration is relatively new and the facilities are relatively clean. This room has two bathrooms and a shower. The boss is a divorced young woman, good-looking and nice. The next morning, she made us breakfast, oatmeal cookies, coffee/black tea.
The next morning, we were picked up by a pre-arranged minibus from our residence to Orhon Island, with 700 rubles each. If we go to the station by bus, we only need 500 rubles. However, considering the time and unfamiliarity with the city, we chose to pick up and drop off by car, and the hotel can book it.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, a Fiat resembling Iveco appeared on time. Besides us, there was an uncle in Hong Kong and a younger brother in Singapore. Later, a Norwegian engineer and several Russian locals came up one after another.
The car is not big, but there is a lot of luggage. It's packed. It's about 5 hours' drive on the road, with a break. It's hard to sit. Fortunately, the scenery along the way is beautiful, and six people are together, talking and laughing, which is very fun.
We stayed in Nikita's hotel in Orhon for 3 nights, with 2,700 rubles per person, including meals. The location is very good, and you can see the scenery when you go out. The facilities are very common and popular, and it is convenient to contact activities through the front desk. We live in a room for four and a room for two. The slight disadvantage is that the bathroom and shower in this room are not in the house, so we need to go out for a few steps. There are many dogs and cats here, some beautiful and some ugly, but they are all obedient.
In the afternoon, I wandered around casually. It's really beautiful, and the trip in the next few days also confirms this. Dinner is provided by the hotel, which is simple but rich. When eating, there are always a few lovely Mimi hovering around you, including big Mimi, small Mimi, black Mimi and yellow Mimi (how can you look a little evil?
This place can meet many amazing people, such as two handsome French men who traveled to Europe from their hometown and rode second-hand motorcycles to Russia, a German girl who rode her bike all the way here, and a handsome French photographer who stopped here to be a waiter, and so on.
The next day, the original plan was to participate in water conservancy projects, but there were not enough people. This project needs at least eight people to do, so the content of the next day becomes a free trip. But I didn't get lost at all, because Orhon Island is very big and walking is full of fun. In the evening, I participated in the project of watching the sunset on the boat, with 600 rubles per person. I feel fine, a little cold and need clothes.
On the third day, I visited the northern part of Orhon Island by bus. The whole journey starts from 10 in the morning and returns around 5 pm. The road is a bit bumpy. If you get carsick, please bring your own carsick medicine, because I'm really glad you came.
It feels good to take some photos. I bought the card machine on 20 10.
It is worth mentioning that at noon lunch, because of the language barrier, I once lost my way and thought I would rely on beautiful scenery to satisfy my hunger. Boys in the same company have been looking for things like moss for a long time according to Mr. Bei's instructions, so I should remember it. As a result, the Russian driver uncle had already prepared a delicious lunch, vegetable salad, bread and butter, fish soup, black tea, and desserts like buns. Everyone wolfed down, leaving no picture.
When I returned to my residence in the evening, the handsome French guy told me that there was a Russian folk music performance in the concert hall at 8: 30 in the evening. It's actually a small room, just outside the hotel. It was an accordion performance by a Russian old man with great personality. It took almost an hour to play a few songs, which were very nice. My dad is very interesting. I guess he was also an expert in picking up girls when he was young, but he didn't leave any pictures, only recorded a few videos.
654381October 3, I returned to Irkutsk. The minibus is booked at the front desk one day in advance, and each person is 650 rubles. The accommodation for returning to Iraq is an administrative dormitory, 500 rubles/person. The facilities are old, but they are very popular. The location is not far from the city government, and there is Marriott Hotel nearby, which is a landmark. Apart from the facilities, the only disadvantage of the hotel is that it is about 40-50 minutes' walk from the station, which basically spans the cities of Iraq.
Nikita's minibus was driven by a Mongolian. This bus is relatively empty. Fortunately, there is also a couple in it. One of them is a handsome boy studying in St. Petersburg, so he helped us a lot and gave us a lot of advice.
Lunch was at a German restaurant 400 meters away from the station. Because I was very hungry at that time, I couldn't objectively evaluate the taste. It should be good. Coincidentally, the beautiful woman sitting at the next table actually works in Shanghai and her Chinese is very good. Her friend also showed us the way to the general, and the direction was right. Unfortunately, she said she would walk 15 minutes, but it turned out to be 50 minutes.
Yi is not a big city. It should be said that it is still very beautiful. However, I feel a little tired because I was pulled up by Orhon Island a few days ago. However, the blue sky here left a deep impression on me. It is really blue. I had a rest in the afternoon, and then I went out for half a lap in Iraq. I took some Chechen buddies to the convenience store at night.
65438 10-4, set out for Ristevyanka, take a bus from the bus station for one hour, and the shuttle bus service is 50 rubles per person per hour. The residence is the Orange Tree Hotel opened by China people. The only reason why I chose this place is that the owner is from China. In Irkutsk, the popularity of English is not higher than that of second-and third-tier cities in China. People on the road can't speak English except in hotels, so it doesn't matter whether you can speak English here. Communication basically depends on body language and calculators.
It takes an hour to drive. As soon as the group got off the bus, they were attracted by the scenery here. However, I couldn't bear to be hungry, so I bought a big piece of bread to satisfy my hunger and found an orange tree. The town is small, but orange trees are hard to find. You should walk about 500 meters from the path about 100 meters from the station. We live in a quadruple room and a double room, with a price of 5000 rubles. After signing in, go to the market next to the station to eat! Because in the process of looking for orange trees just now, I was deeply attracted by the smell of barbecue at the entrance of the market town.
Moreover, the handsome waiter in this shop can speak some Chinese, so he eats happily, but the price is not cheap, more than 500 rubles per person. It is worth mentioning that the grilled fish sold in the market is delicious and cheap, 70 rubles each. Eat one day 10 yuan.
After a few days of sightseeing, everyone was tired, and the original seaside barbecue was changed to a walk. The night in town is very quiet. When we crossed the road at 8 o'clock, it was just the two of us. Listening to the sea breeze, walking along the lake and looking up at the starry sky feel great. But watch your step, or you will sprain your foot like me.
As it was an early flight on the 6th, I contacted the shopkeeper of the orange tree and drove to the airport at 10: 30 in the evening. I negotiated a lower price, and the transaction was 2500 rubles. At noon, I packed my luggage, checked into the hotel and started the last day of my trip. Unfortunately, the folk village recommended by many people had to be abandoned because we forgot the pronunciation of Russian. In order to eat Chinese food well, we set out for the mountain near Li Zhen Museum, because there is a scenic spot on the mountain.
About 5 kilometers away from the station, we met a souvenir shop halfway, so everyone went in and bought a bunch of small things in a hurry, full of cars.
After walking for about an hour, I finally arrived at the museum, but it was really not worth visiting, especially when I bought a ticket of 300 rubles. After about 5 minutes' visit, I felt more deeply, because the museum is very small, and the whole first floor area is less than 200 square meters. Secondly, all the explanatory texts are in Russian, you know.
The next step is to go up the mountain. You can take a cable car at your knees, and those who don't want to walk can spend 200 rubles to go back and forth. The scenery at the top of the mountain is good, so a group of people took another photo.
Dinner was settled at the barbecue restaurant at noon on the 4 th. After a big meal, I went back to the orange tree and waited for the bus. Several Xiong Haizi sat on the stairs for an hour before they realized that there was a big activity room on the third floor, and they could also sing K, but we couldn't adjust the equipment, so we just watched TV and surfed the Internet.
/kloc-0: 30, Manager Guo saw us off on time, and we arrived at the airport about 45 minutes later. There was a little accident on the road. A car in the opposite lane knocked down a pedestrian on the side of the road. Judging from the sound, it's basically saved.
Ticket exchange, customs clearance and security inspection are all very fast. So the next step is to wait until this trip to Lake Baikal is over.
Review:
1. Language Most people in Iraq do not know English, and there is not much tourism development. Almost all road signs are in Russian, so it is important to make strategies, body language and calculators in advance. However, people in hotels can speak English, so it is very useful to know English here. You can chat with friends from many other countries, so it is always right to study hard.
2. Temperature, at least in our last few days here, we can only wear T-shirts and ordinary coats during the day and add another layer at night. Maybe it's God's pity for our Xiong Haizi. The weather is always fine, always sunny.
3. the price, I have never been to a donkey shop, so I can't compare it. But compared with domestic market, the price is lower than that of Shanghai and Beijing. For example, several restaurants we have been to spend 300-500 rubles per capita; Juice and chocolate in convenience stores are cheaper than those in China; Star hotels don't live in people. As far as hotels are concerned, they live in bunks, with 500-800 rubles per person.
Catch up, there is a train around the lake, which is said to be beautiful, but I don't know the departure place and time, so I gave up. The public security situation is uncertain. After 9 pm, the roads are basically empty. I dare not go to nightclubs in Iraq because of the language barrier.
5. Miscellaneous, the attached pictures are all randomly found from my photos. Plus, I'm not a SLR, and I don't like photography, so the effect is far less beautiful than Lake Baikal that I saw with my own eyes.
Finally, I took a family photo and a head photo, all of which were taken by Lake Baikal.
Have a high-calorie Russian dinner.
Russian western food has no gorgeous, noble and inaccessible "appearance". On the contrary, it is particularly simple, natural and approachable. Delicious meat pies, crispy pickles, golden potato chips and creamy desserts make people feel cordial at first sight.
Russian-style dinner consists of many dishes, which are usually well matched and have a clear priority. After careful tasting, you will find that Russian food is actually elegant, but it is not too ostentatious and ostentatious. Just like a noble who has washed away all the lead, there is still an innate nobility and reserve in calmness.
Visit the center of Irkutsk.
There are many scenic spots in Irkutsk, and it is well known that there is a sightseeing route called "Green Line" in the city.
This green line, hereinafter referred to as GL, includes 30 scenic spots such as churches, museums, ancient buildings, city squares and city statues, with a total length of about 5km.
