Day 19: Irkutsk -- Beijing

I was tired of the so-called prosperity of this metropolis. When I was young, I had enough desire for art design. In order to survive after graduation, I finally gave up a little bit of art I had learned and joined the busy crowd for living. When I was young, I wanted to take a look around. I've been to many places, most of them in China, and I've been to several countries. As a matter of fact, I'm still pragmatic. (I finished most of my work as early as 5-6 years ago, until I really retired this year). I wanted to record my experiences and stories on the journey many times, but I still couldn't do it. This trip is my "glorious retirement" gift! It's also a challenge to yourself. Because I don't know English and I don't know Russian

Preparation: passport, visa, air ticket reservation

At the beginning of July, I happened to look at my ticket. In mid October (Hainan Airlines), I flew from Changsha to St. Petersburg and stopped in Beijing. I could stay in Beijing for one night. The next day, I could fly directly to St. Petersburg for only 2123 yuan. For me, who likes domestic airlines, it's just a temptation! At the beginning of December, when I bought a round-trip ticket to Europe and five flights to European countries during my trip, and settled for 60 days' accommodation, the German Embassy refused to sign the ticket, which cost me 20000 yuan. And it left a shadow for my future travel, so I only went to Thailand 2 times. Make up your mind to start right away, take out your passport and prepare to book tickets. My passport is only 4 months overdue! Ah! Is it going to die again this time? Hurry to call back to Beijing for advice. I can get my passport out in a few days. I know that I can get my passport out of Changsha. I don't have to run back to Beijing. Long live! The next morning, I went to apply for my passport, but it took me a month to come out. I can't wait! There's time anyway! That's what I said! It's hard to wait! Every day we have to see if there is any change in the air ticket. If the air ticket of Changsha flying to St. Petersburg goes up too much, we will fly to Moscow or Irkutsk. In a word, we are determined to complete this trip. We have thought of many plans, which is good. Life is very fast. On August 2, L.G. helped me get back my passport and set up the air ticket immediately. It's really lucky! I was optimistic that the ticket price on October 14 did not change, and the price on both days rose to 3-4 thousand! Without hesitation, I made a reservation for the ticket of Hainan Airlines from Changsha to St. Petersburg on October 14, and immediately made a reservation for the ticket of Hainan Airlines from Irkutsk to Beijing on November 1. In this way, you don't have to go back. It saves time and money! After the impulse, I remembered that this time, like 12 years ago, I had not made a visa to book the ticket, in case... What should I do? At this time, I can only firmly believe that our revolutionary friendship with the fighting nations will never refuse to sign. Ctrip rushed to find the agent and sent out the materials in the afternoon. It was Friday again. As a result, the materials arrived in Beijing on Saturday, but the travel agency didn't go to work. No one received the materials on Monday and sent them for signature on Tuesday! I have to wait for 7 working days. Finally, on August 15, the staff of the travel agency informed me that I had got the visa and sent it to me, Wula! Wura!

Learning from the travel agency that the visa has been issued, I immediately turned on the computer to book the ticket for Moscow to Irkutsk. This flight would not have the airline of my empire. Although there are cheap stop flights, I still hope to fly directly, so I chose the more expensive direct flight. Here I would like to recommend Ctrip to you.

Train reservation in Russia: it can also be done on Ctrip

Print the train ticket for standby.

Air tickets and train tickets are basically settled (there are some short distance trains and buses left). I want to see the itinerary at that time. Preparation of daily necessities for travel:

I checked that the temperature in late October in Russia in previous years was basically the same as that in late November in Beijing. This trip lasted nearly 20 days. In order to prevent accidents, I am going to wear a thick coat and bring a down jacket. In order to save space, I will vacuum the down jacket of the two people. I will list the items for your reference only

Here is a good thing for you! When we travel abroad, we don't feel like eating bread, butter and other Western food for a few days, but for a long time, our Chinese people will feel tired, and our Chinese stomach will protest! It's good to eat something spicy at this time（ What's more, my hometown is Fu. LAN. DI) when I went to Egypt last time, I met my friends in Shanghai. When they saw me bring this, they asked me to eat it! The next few days are not enough! It's refreshing to eat with bread in it（ Also experience a collision between Chinese and Western catering culture

phonecard:

I bought two phone cards for the corresponding number of days in a certain treasure, and they all have 6G traffic. One for LG and I, and actually one for two, is enough. I'm afraid that LG will be lost and easy to contact. In fact, LG's is almost useless and wasted.

Here are some pictures of the subway of St. Petersburg and Moscow

Hotel Reservation:

When traveling abroad, I usually make reservations on Ctrip's website. Many hotels in Russia are public toilets. I'm a bit "cleanliness addicted". Therefore, the first consideration of this trip is to have an independent toilet and convenient transportation. In addition, we don't know how to speak, so we have to check the hotels we want to reserve. There must be more comments from Chinese people, and some Chinese people have stayed in this hotel, In the evaluation, it introduces how to get to the hotel from the airport or railway station.

This time, I arranged to stay in St. Petersburg for five nights. After comprehensive consideration, I made a preliminary reservation for this hotel. Many Chinese people think that this hotel has a good independent bathroom, convenient transportation, close to the scenic spot, and also includes breakfast. As for the good or bad, I'll evaluate it when I come back.

It's convenient. It's close to the scenic spot. It also includes breakfast. As for the good or bad, I'll evaluate it when I come back.

St. Petersburg accommodation:

EGOEAST Hotel

Suzdar accommodation:

Suzdal is a small town near Moscow. After reading a lot of travel notes, I introduced that the Russian style wooden house here has more characteristics. I also wanted to experience it, so I ordered this wooden house, which is also an independent bathroom.

Gostevoy DOM liteyschika nikulicheva

Moscow accommodation:

This time I stayed in Moscow for four nights and made a preliminary reservation. This hotel was also reserved after seeing the evaluation of Chinese people. The hotel is close to the subway and the rooms are quite large. This hotel does not include breakfast. There are supermarkets and restaurants on the opposite side of the hotel downstairs. It's a good solution for dining.

Master Hotel pervomayskaya

Accommodation in irkuzk:

The hotel is on Marx street. There is a green No.20 minibus from the airport. The hotel can help book bus tickets to orhom island. It's close to every scenic spot in the city. The last day of Russia is also scheduled here.

Irkutsk Hostel

Olhong Island Accommodation:

Most of the places on orhom island are cabins. Anyway, I have to reserve an independent bathroom. It is said that dining on the island is not very convenient, so I ordered this cabins with breakfast and dinner. Two nights.

Guest house Olkhon

Accommodation in listwyanka

Listyanka is a small town. This time, I decided to take a sightseeing tour, so I chose this B & B near the fish market in the center of the town. The log cabin seems to be the representative of B & B in a small Russian town, with an independent toilet.

Bajkalskie prostory

In this way, the preparatory work of this trip has come to an end, and the next step is to wait quietly

On October 14, Changsha flew to Beijing

I finally set out today. I will fly to Beijing today and St. Petersburg tomorrow afternoon. A little chicken cold in my heart! A little uneasy again??! HNA's dinner is not so good!

Here's a compliment for HNA! Those who buy United air tickets like us also provide one night accommodation near the airport??

October 15, Beijing - St. Petersburg

Early in the morning, I went to the industrial and Commercial Bank of Beijing to exchange roubles. Here I tell you that we must compare the exchange rates of several banks. The Bank of China is the worst. The exchange rate of RMB 10000 is nearly 400 yuan more expensive than that of the industrial and Commercial Bank of China. The exchange rate of ICBC is 1:8.66 and that of the Bank of China is 1:8.3. However, ICBC capital airport can't change rubles, so I can only go to the urban area. At 11:15 noon, I went back to my hotel and checked out with LG to go to terminal 2 of capital airport. The plane took off at 2:55 p.m. Beijing time on time. After 8 hours' flight, it arrived at St. Petersburg International Airport at 18:05 p.m. Russian time. The difference between Beijing time and St. Petersburg time is 5 hours! God bless you! The entry of St. Petersburg is finished without saying a word. (here's a good news, we don't need to fill in the entry card.) at this time, my heart is still beating a drum. After all, when I arrive at a place that is unfamiliar and doesn't know the language, everything is unknown. I don't know how many difficulties and uncertainties are waiting for us! Out of the airport to see the legendary K39 bus, the airport is really a little small and crude! I got on the bus smoothly. I didn't have a small ticket when I exchanged roubles. I only had 1000 yuan. The conductor was a middle-aged woman. She was very enthusiastic. At first, she couldn't find it, so she exchanged it with the passengers and gave it to me. Thank you very much! After a while, I got to the place where I transferred to the No.2 Lanse subway station, got out of the car, took out the Russian language of the No.2 subway and asked two local people. After confirming the correct direction, I found the No.2 subway. The subway was 45 rubles per person. There was a price tag on the ticket window. I gave her 100 rubles and said "two" to her. She gave me three coins. I stood there waiting for the subway card. I think it's the same card as Beijing, She motioned that two of the three coins were subway coins. The subway coins in St. Petersburg were as long as 10 rubles! In response, immediately put money into the station, the subway security is not strict, the subway is very deep ha! It's much deeper than the subway in Beijing. When I get to the subway station and look up at the sign, it's the same as the Beijing subway sign. Both sides point to the last station in each direction. It's just that we don't know the words. I'll just draw and compare them. When I transfer to the subway station, I'll mark them on the wall or look up at the sign, The walls of the subway stations in Russia are very clean, without any advertisements and signs, and their transfers are marked on the ground. (to be honest, during this trip to Russia, we have never sat on the subway, bus, including the small town bus in St. Petersburg and Moscow. We missed it and were surprised to meet our friends in China several times, because they know English and often make mistakes, Because I have mastered the law) I hold the heart a little relaxed, I look around the subway to see; There is a big name of the station on the wall opposite the subway platform. If you want to see it in the car, you have to get on from the middle of the car. There is another stupid way to count the stops. There is another way to look at the wall of the platform in the car. When you get to the transfer station, the color of the transfer subway will be pasted on the wall, To our hotel, it's Moscow station. It takes six stops. It'll be there soon. When I got out of the subway station, I used Google navigation for the first time. The hotel was only 3-400 meters away from the subway. I followed the navigation to find the hotel. In short, everything was so smooth. At 20:010 Russian time, LG and I had finished checking in and were on the way to the supermarket! Uneasy "little heart" finally recovered!

St.Petersburg

Originally, it was a swamp at the mouth of the Gulf of Finland in the Baltic Sea. After Peter I won it in the Northern War of Sweden, he tried his best to reclaim land from the sea, and built the port capital of Russia facing Western Europe, named St. Petersburg, and moved the capital here. After several generations of emperor regulation, he became the political, economic and cultural center of the Russian Empire, and was the most European city in Russia. During Catherine II's period, many canals and bridges were built in St. Petersburg in order to alleviate the backwater. With the crisscross of canals and bridges in the city and the government's special maintenance of traditional buildings, it presents such a classical and romantic water town scenery, which is known as "Venice in the north".

Let's start with some pictures.

October 16, St. Petersburg

I didn't get up until about 8 o'clock. Yesterday, I saw the weather forecast. Today, it's cloudy. If it's raining outside, I wake up LG. I'm busy washing and preparing what I'm going to take today. LG takes out the eggs, milk, bread, cucumbers, sausage bought in the supermarket last night, plus the hot pepper dishes at home. In a short time, LG will have a good breakfast, I don't go out until 10 o'clock after breakfast. (this is the advantage of free travel. I can go out whenever I want. I can sleep until I wake up naturally every day, and I don't want to be early!) set out!! Although it's more than 10 a.m., most of the shops on the street have not been opened yet. With an umbrella in one hand and a mobile phone in the other hand, I started the "blast away" mode of following the valley navigation. The first stop - the bank bridge. It's not far from where we live. But we found it after a while. It's all wrapped up in big boards. Only the bridge is left. We can't see it, because there are many bridges on the river. It's a pity! I just borrow two pictures on the Internet! excuse me!

Here is the maintenance of the bank bridge, rainy!

A few hundred meters away is the Kazan Cathedral, which is named after the statue of the goddess of Kazan. The wedding of Paul I, the son of Catherine II, was held here. Kazan Cathedral is also an important military Church in Russia, where Russian Marshal Kutuzov was buried. The funeral of composer Tchaikovsky is also held here! In order to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the victory of the Russian French war, the memorial statues of Kutuzov and Barkley detoli are set up on both sides of the church. Up to now, Kazan Cathedral is one of the most prestigious cathedrals in St. Petersburg. First on two pictures, I took in the camera, the camera has not taken back, take back again on the picture ha!

Although it's rainy, windy and a little cold, the scenery may not be as beautiful as sunny day, but the hazy beauty is different. We braved the light rain and took umbrellas to take pictures of the beautiful scenery. Along the scenery on both sides of the canal, we came to the blooddrop Cathedral, also known as the resurrection Cathedral, which is a memorial church built in memory of Alexander II. It is very similar to the architectural style of Vasili cathedral on Moscow's Red Square, where Alexander II was assassinated and his son set up an altar in memory of his resurrection cathedral（ All the photos are original. Please understand)

We took photos outside for a long time. As a full-time "photographer" of LG, I instructed him to leave clumsy "beautiful pictures" in all directions. During this trip, I asked passers-by to take pictures for us from time to time. The most common word I said was "hell." please! Then I found the ticket window. It's time to test people. Fortunately, there is only one kind of ticket price. I said "Hello! "Two" hand than draw out 2, and then take out the money to her, successfully buy tickets to the blood Cathedral, 2 500 rubles. When I got inside, I quickly took out the mobile translation software, found the interpreter and showed it to the staff. Then I said "one, China". The staff took out the computer, pressed 200 rubles and paid 200 rubles. Then we got the Chinese interpreter. Here I want to share my feeling of renting the interpreter with the donkey friends who don't understand English and Russian, There is very little content in Chinese, not as much as in English and Russian, and it is very likely that it will turn into Russian or English when we accidentally touch other buttons. For those of us who don't know English or Russian, it's very difficult to transfer back to Chinese. We have to find professional staff who rent the interpreter to you, not all of them can transfer it. The area of the blood drop cathedral is not big, so it's easy to deal with it, When we were in the winter palace, the interpreter became an English interpreter. We found many staff members who couldn't adjust it. We were asked to go to the entrance to find the person who rented the interpreter for us. The winter palace is very big, just like a maze. I don't know how long it will take until I find the entrance. I just read it slowly. In fact, there are very few explanations in Chinese in the winter palace, not in every hall, There are less than one fifth of the explanations in Chinese. I feel that I might as well do my homework in advance, read the books about scenic spots, or visit them with books. This is just my personal opinion for reference only

From the church, the drizzle is still falling, but it can't stop us. Follow the navigation to the Winter Palace Square. In the middle of the square is the Alexander Column. On one side of the square is the winter palace, and on the other side is the staff headquarters building. People can also enter the square through the Arc de Triomphe of the staff headquarters building. Today, on Monday, the winter palace was closed, but we still didn't do our homework well. We took photos in the square. It was stormy and rainy. At this time, we felt a little hungry. We wanted to find a restaurant introduced by QiongYou. At this time, we found that LG's Watch had been left in the hotel. We hurried back. Fortunately, it was less than 2 kilometers away. We passed many local restaurants along the way, We didn't dare to try, and finally stopped at KFC. I ordered with the staff again. The staff of KFC actually took out the Chinese menu. It's great! Direct order payment! It's done! After eating, I immediately went back to the hotel and cleaned the room, but LG's watch was still quietly lying in the cabinet. I really want to praise the cleaning staff

We cooked a pot of boiling water in the hotel, brewed a pot of Pu'er tea for a rest for a while, and then started the "pop away" mode. Most of the scenic spots in St. Petersburg are relatively concentrated, and each scenic spot is about one kilometer away. It's not very convenient for us to take the bus and the subway. Except for places beyond three kilometers, we use transportation, and the rest are pop away! Out of the hotel, follow the navigation to Marlin theater. The scenery on the road is good. It seems that the old Marlin theater is not open.

Then we go to St. Isaac's Cathedral, which was built by Alexander I in the name of St. Isaac, the orthodox saint of Peter I, and is one of the representative works in the late period of St. Petersburg's architectural classicism. Now the hall is open as a museum.

First of all, we went around the outside of the church. The sculptures on the outer wall were vivid and exquisite. Then we went to the ticket office and bought two tickets. I made a small mistake here. I didn't buy the package ticket for climbing to the top of the church. Here I told the latecomers that they must buy the package ticket for climbing to the top of the church, because only here can I get a panoramic view of St. Petersburg. As a result of my mistake, we have left a regret. I hope you will not leave a regret.

Behind St. Isaac's Cathedral is the classic bronze Knight of Peter I. The bronze statue was cast by Queen Catherine II as the heir of Peter I. It was evening before I came to the bronze statue, and rebellion had begun in my stomach. It seemed that I had to urinate again. Fortunately, I remember that there seemed to be a toilet not far away on the way here, so I took photos as soon as possible. Then go back to the toilet. There is a pay toilet between the bronze statue and St. Isaac's Cathedral. 30 rubles is not cheap! After going to the toilet, go back and get ready to find food on Neva street! Will you laugh at me! We have just solved the following problems, and now we have to solve the above problems!

On the way, I passed the Ministry of Navy and St. Petersburg library building. By the way, I went to the blood Cathedral in the morning and entered the library building in order to find the toilet. Neva street is very prosperous and full of lights. We finally had dinner at the chain pie shop mentioned in many travel notes. I pointed to the picture to communicate with the waiter, bought two different flavors of pie and two cups of coffee, soup did not dare to try, do not know whether to accept, so direct coffee! Pie is a little sweet, not all salty, basically acceptable, is too much butter, eat a little full, it is estimated that this ten days weight will soar fierce growth!

After dinner, we went out of our way to the cosmetics shops mentioned in many travel notes. We didn't start with them. We just bought two hand creams. They were too dry, and our hands and feet were cracked. We compared the prices of the others first, and then we went into them in two days! It's mainly for walking and digesting butter! I really didn't take a picture of the cosmetics store. It's a little senile amnesia! Don't be surprised! But fortunately, there are many travel notes that are very clear, and many photos are taken!

We slowly walked back to the hotel, the first day of the trip was so smooth and happy, but also let me feel how right the decision to travel freely in Russia is. I went back to the hotel to boil water and make tea. After taking a bath, I watched the itinerary of tomorrow and fell asleep.

October 17, St. Petersburg

Today's weather forecast is that there is a shower on a cloudy day. When I wake up naturally, I open the curtains to see if it's not raining outside the window. At this time, LG also gets out of bed and washes. As usual, LG and I work together to prepare the things for the day. He is responsible for breakfast. After breakfast, he leaves the hotel at the same time as yesterday. (the hotel's heating is too good. If you put on your coat, you will be sweating in the room, Today, we try to take the bus to the farthest scenic spot, Fort Peter Paul (it's only 2.33 km from Google map), and then go back. It's easier. I think there are two buses near the hotel, We followed the navigation to find the bus stop. I was afraid that I was going in the wrong direction, so I took out my mobile phone and asked two Russians about the destination. They were very enthusiastic, but because of the language barrier, we could only draw. In the case of confirming the right direction, I can't remember whether we took route 41 or how many. Senile amnesia broke out again（ By the way, another strange thing is the problem of Google navigation. The first day we went to St. Petersburg to get out of the subway and look for a hotel, it could use voice navigation. The next day, it was dumb and didn't say a word. I looked at the mobile navigation map to find the way. I don't know if you use it the same way.) The ticket is one vote system, 40 rubles per person. It's said that it's cheaper to buy a bus card. You don't have much traffic in St. Petersburg, and you don't know the language when you just arrived in Russia, so you can have it! After I got on the bus, I showed the conductor the place I wanted to go on my mobile phone and signaled her to call us at the station. I don't know if she understood. I'd better turn on the navigation to get off the bus, because I can't understand both the station announcement and the stop sign. When the navigation map showed that we arrived at the station, the conductor told us to get off the bus, proving that she fully understood me just now, This further proves that language is not an obstacle to tourism. Get off and see the fort Peter Paul. Walk a few hundred meters to a bridge. The fort Peter Paul is on an island. Just cross the bridge.

Peter Paul fortress is the origin of the whole city of St. Petersburg, and it is the earliest construction of the city. Peter I took a shovel to select the site of the foundation and lay the foundation in person. It is said that once Peter I was not satisfied with the project when he inspected it. Just as he was about to blame Peter I, a hare rushed to Peter I and defused the whole tense atmosphere. The island where Peter Paul fortress was built is called hare island. Now Peter Paul fortress is opened to the public as a museum. It is the most important historical and military scenic spot in St. Petersburg. We cross the bridge into Peter's gate and follow the middle line to see Peter Paul's Cathedral.

After we took the photos, we quickly went to the ticket office, and the body language plus "two" tickets were done! 450 rubles per person. We didn't go to prison! Don't want to see bloody things! Follow the crowd into the church.

Peter Paul Cathedral is named after St. Peter St. Paul, one of the twelve apostles. It was originally a wooden church, but later it was converted into a Peter Baroque building. Peter Paul's Cathedral is the burial place of Tsars and nobles after Peter Paul I. It combines European architecture and orthodox traditional style, which is magnificent and magnificent. Peter I and Catherine II are buried on the right side of the screen.

I do not know how this season is still a lot of people, there are several Chinese team ha! I feel like I'm going home for a while!

They said that to understand Peter Paul's Cathedral, we need to find out the relationship between the characters in the picture below, but I haven't made it clear yet! I hope you find out!

When we came out of the church, we went around the hare island and turned outside the wall. Unexpectedly, we found that on the other side of the wall is the military history museum, a semicircle building made of red brick. There are many cannons in front of the building. It seems that the straight-line distance is not far, but in the past, it was a little far to go around the bridge. We had to go to the winter palace and decided to give up. Military enthusiasts can go to ha! Took a few pictures from afar! On the other side is the Gulf of Finland, which is very spectacular. Then we walked around the fortress and found that they didn't know whether it was the military or the fire department that was engaged in activities in the fortress. We also joined in the fun to have a look. Some soldiers with a full chest with medals, I do not know if it is really ha! I don't dare to take a picture! In the end, I secretly photographed two soldiers with not many medals.

Fort Peter Paul is not far from the winter palace for more than one kilometer. We decided to walk there and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Peter bridge and Neva along the way. Out of the fortress and across the bridge on hare Island, we met a group of students. They are not afraid of the cold and show their thighs! Really only wear meat stockings beautiful sister!

After Peter bridge, the Winter Palace Square is just a few steps away. It's 11 o'clock. If it's a long time to enter the winter palace, it may be 2-3 o'clock in the afternoon. I decided to go to other small scenic spots first, have lunch, and then enter the winter palace to have a good visit. "Come and eat dogs!" We followed the navigation to St. Petersburg ares square, nothing to look at, the main thing is to see where the eternal war ha! The true fighting nation! The summer garden is not far from Zhanshen square. I went to it, and the staff signaled to have a rest today, but I didn't do my homework well! After walking 2-3 hundred meters further, I saw a small church and took a few pictures. It was not in vain. At this time, it was already more than 12 o'clock. I quickly navigated to the literature cafe, and finally found the door of the literature cafe. The old man pointed to the business hours on the door, and then I reflected that it would not be open until 16 o'clock, and I didn't do my homework well. Ah! Come back for dinner! There's no way to solve it nearby! We need to seize the time. There is another important play - the Winter Palace Museum! After walking a few steps, LG and I didn't want to eat pancakes or hamburgers. After walking a few steps towards the winter palace, we found a restaurant with the big tree sign on the opposite side. I seem to remember that I saw it in the travel notes. The restaurant with this sign seems to be a local buffet with rice. Let's discuss with LG to taste the local people's taste! That's it! The taste is barely edible! Strange look like meatballs and meatloaf in the east also put rice in it. This restaurant is self-service, you take your food and check out at the counter, just like some of our fast food cafeterias! It's not cheap to pay the bill, which is equivalent to RMB 100. It's certainly not expensive in our country, but is it a little expensive in Russia!

After dinner, I came to the Winter Palace Square again. It didn't rain today. It's better to take photos! Entering the gate of Winter Palace, there is an automatic ticket machine at the gate. I don't know English and dare to try! It's a bit difficult to find a manual ticket. There are many ticket windows in it. Maybe it's because the museum closed yesterday. Today, there are many people and many teams. We don't know where to queue up to buy tickets. But I'm cheeky and ask everywhere. There are many Chinese people, but most of them are teams. I don't know. Fortunately, I asked a Chinese tourist in English to ask the staff for help, Only then can we know that tickets can be bought at that ticket window, but the time period of going in and visiting is different. To control the flow of people, we still have a few tickets for going in and visiting immediately. We need to pay quickly. The tickets are a little more expensive than those introduced on the Internet. It seems that most of the tickets in Russia have gone up, It's said on the Internet that in the off-season (600 rubles per person from October to May), we are now on October 17, 700 rubles per person.

The Winter Palace Museum, also known as the Hermitage Museum, is translated as the hermit House Museum. It is the largest museum in Russia and one of the largest in the world. The main building of the museum is winter palace, which has six buildings: Winter Palace, little elmitash, great elmitash, new elmitash, elmitash theatre and Peter I's winter residence. The collection in the museum is the private collection of the former Queen Catherine II, which has been open to the public for more than 150 years. There are nearly 3 million cultural and artistic treasures in the museum from the stone age to the present. In addition, the decoration of the palace is beautiful, elegant and unique, and the palace buildings compete with the collections. It takes several months to watch carefully, We can only take a quick look at the decoration, and the building also takes 3-5 hours.

We took tickets and followed the crowd to deposit our coats first, because we couldn't put on coats and carry bigger bags in the palace, and then we followed the crowd through the security check to get inside, found the place to rent the interpreter, and communicated with the staff about "China, one", 500 rubles for an interpreter, done! I listened while I was walking, and then I looked at the numbers on the wall, and then I went wrong, and I didn't follow the route of the explanation map. It took about half an hour! I don't know if I accidentally hit that key and turned it into an English commentary. I asked several staff members, but they couldn't adjust it. They wanted us to go back to the place we rented just now. The palace was like a labyrinth. We didn't know how long it would take for us to find it back. Besides, we just went to work on the interpreter and didn't enjoy it well. Forget it, let's enjoy it slowly! Just listen to the team! I don't know how to describe the beauty, wealth and grandeur of the palace. Look at the picture! Maybe the pictures can't show it, so you'd better come to the scene in person!

Da Vinci's original work the Virgin Mary and the son

It's already 5:00 p.m. when we come out of the winter palace. Take a look at the winter palace bridge, and we'll go to the adjacent Admiralty building.

Admiralty building

Originally designed by Peter himself in 1704, the n-shaped building and tower began to be built here; Build a navy. After renovation, it changed the magnificent style of traditional architecture and symbolized the heroic spirit of the Navy with a serious and concise style. It is recognized as a masterpiece in the history of architecture in the world.

The literature Cafe opened in 1835. It is a favorite cafe for many writers. It is the last place to visit before Pushkin's duel. On the first floor, there is a wax statue of Pushkin by the window. On the wall, there are a lot of gold signs, all of which are about when celebrities came and where they sit. Many leaders in China have been there. On the seat where I sit, there is a small gold medal that Liu Yandong has visited. I forget to shoot it alone. In the evening, there is piano accompaniment, drinking coffee and tasting delicious food!

When we walked into the cafe, we met a specimen of a big bear. At noon, the old man who opened the door at 16 o'clock helped us to deposit our coats. When we went inside, we saw the wax figure of Pushkin. The waiter welcomed us to the second floor and handed us the menu. There were no pictures, only words. My God! How terrible! What should I do? What should I do? I quickly opened the travel notes to see what they ordered, and then showed the pictures to the waiter. In this way, we finished ordering in confusion! While waiting for dinner, I went to the first floor to have a look. The decoration styles of the first floor and the second floor were different. I took some pictures.

See the little gold medal on the wall? This is the second floor. The picture below is the first floor

First floor, second floor is not completely different decoration style. The dishes we ordered are sweet and sour, which is the punishment for not knowing English!! Who wants you not to study English well!! Coffee is not bad, the checkout is so cultural! Two people, two dishes, two cups of coffee more than 3000 rubles, equivalent to 400 yuan, our people do not feel expensive, in Russia is relatively tall!

After dinner, I went back to find the cosmetics shop I went to the day before yesterday, because I have seen a few of these two days, compared the price, some brands are still the real benefit, Lancome, Estee Lauder, Clinique and so on. These brands are very affordable here, that is, I don't have the Dior foundation liquid. I immediately bought 30000 rubles for my mother, my sister and my friends. First of all! Today, I'm satisfied with my desire to buy. Let's leave a little more time to satisfy my desire to buy! LG became my Porter and went back with a full load. I went to the supermarket on the first day to supply breakfast, bread, eggs, sausage, milk, fruits and cucumbers. By the way, today I bought a bag of 2 Jin rice. I brought an electric cooker to boil water, to cook rice, and to fry vegetables. I'll cook by myself that day! I'm drooling when I think about it! I haven't eaten rice for several days（ There are only a few kinds of vegetables in the Russian market. I don't know where Chinese live. They only have cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, onions and so on. There are few leafy vegetables. 5-6 small root parsley sells dozens of rubles.) After shopping, I went back to the hotel and cooked Pu'er tea as usual. After taking a bath, LG drank tea and watched the TV series on the tablet computer. I felt uncomfortable. But I kept my account and looked at the arrangements for tomorrow. I had to go to the distant scenic spots tomorrow. I needed to go out earlier and wash and sleep as soon as possible!

October 18, St. Petersburg - yekaterina Palace

Today, I got up at 7:00 and had a light rain. I went to St. Petersburg for a few days and it rained every day. Only yesterday, it was a little better and had several showers. Get up to seize the time to eat breakfast, less dawdling, the result is a little more than 9 o'clock out. Today, we are going to Ekaterina palace. After doing our homework, we have to take the No.2 blue subway to Moscow station, where we take the bus to the hotel from the airport on the first day, and then transfer to K545 or k342mini bus (it takes about an hour for the minibus). We take the No.2 subway to Moscow station. It's raining from the subway exit. Lenin asked a middle-aged woman, Maybe it rained and she didn't understand the language. She shook her head. LG and I separately looked around Lenin's statue. LG found that there were many mini buses behind Lenin's statue. We rushed to see k342. In order to be safe, I took out the location on my mobile phone and showed it to the driver. He nodded and said, "yes“ He motioned us to get on the bus and get on at once. The tickets were 80 rubles per person. After driving for less than an hour, the driver told us to get off the bus. As soon as we got off the bus, we arrived on the right side. We walked through the stall and saw a small house selling tickets. I thought it was selling tickets for yekaterina palace, but actually it was selling tickets for yekaterina garden, 120 rubles per person, It is said that tickets to the palace are sold inside. They buy tickets immediately and go to the garden directly after buying the tickets. There are two Chinese guys coming to visit on business. They also want to buy tickets to the palace. They can speak English, so we follow them to ask the staff. Then we know that we only put the team in now, and it will be 12 noon before we start selling individual tickets! We have to wait for more than an hour to get here in a hurry. It's still raining. Let's wait! Take a serious tour of the garden! The scenery is beautiful in spite of the rain

Yekaterina garden is divided into two areas, one is the symmetrical garden in front of the palace, the other is the landscape garden beside the symmetrical garden. Above

It's almost 11:30. We came to the gate of the palace again. There are already some people waiting in line. Here we met a friend from Shanghai. He is 67 years old, he is not tall, he wears a pair of glasses, and he can speak English. He retired from the customs. This time, he came to travel alone. He is in good health, very talkative and very friendly. I really want to praise his spirit. We went to the palace together, It's easy to let people into the palace on time at 12 o'clock. I'll buy tickets with my big brother who knows English. It'll be done in a short time, 1000 rubles per person. Then we save our coats and wait in line for the security check. We want to buy a Chinese interpreter. Big brother takes the initiative to say that he won't have to read the English introduction for us later. Thank you very much! Big brother also brought a book about the scenic spots, we are really polished!

Ekaterina palace is a departure palace built by Peter I for Queen Catherine. Later, when Elizabeth I, the daughter of Peter I, was in power, it was redesigned and built into a baroque palace. The palace harmonizes beautiful appearance and magnificence; The exquisite hall is famous in the world, and the amber hall decorated with exquisite collage is even more famous. In the Second World War, affected by the war and plundered by the German army, it began to repair after the war. Now there are still some halls under repair.

Inside the door is the famous amber hall. You can't take pictures. Big brother is very cute. He wants to take pictures secretly. Several staff members stare at him several times. When he moves his hand, they immediately stop him. In the end, they still don't take pictures secretly. You can see that the yellow one beside the door is amber!

We went out of the palace with our eldest brother and walked to Tsar village together. We didn't see much. We took mini bus back to St. Petersburg. We took another bus to another station of line 2. We chatted all the way and forgot which mini bus we took and which subway station we went to. The elder brother took the wrong subway in St. Petersburg several times. He didn't have the knack. When he got into the subway station, the elder brother was very nervous. I told him that there was the name of the station on the wall. Then he found out. I told him the direction to look. He took the subway there and looked at the sign. The sign indicated the last station in this direction. Like in China, he was still nervous after getting on the bus, After a while, I stood up to see the name of the station in the subway car. I told him to get off at the second stop after we got off. I learned that he was going to the Summer Palace tomorrow, so we made an appointment to see him tomorrow. We found that he didn't seem to have done his homework, so we left a wechat. When we got out of the subway, I sent him a Chinese Russian map of how to go to the Summer Palace and the subway. Soon we got off the train. Out of the subway, we just wanted to find a place to eat Chinese food. We forgot where we ate. We didn't take any pictures. We only spent more than 1000 rubles for bookkeeping. After dinner, we went to the summer garden which was not open that day. No tickets for summer garden! The scenery is good. It must be more beautiful in summer than it is now!

The summer garden and the summer garden were planned by Peter I himself. The Dutch Baroque garden was originally built for the summer residence. The sculptures that Peter I brought back from Italy were interspersed in the woods. The earliest fountain in St. Petersburg was built to hold a palace banquet; Land for fireworks display.

It's already 5:00 p.m. when we come out of Xiayuan (because it's late for us to go back to the city for dinner from Tsar Village). Then we're going to visit the famous yelishev confectionery mall on Nevsky street, also known as Neva street. The shop windows are very eye-catching. They are all characters and shapes in fairy tales. It's refreshing to enter the mall, Low key luxury decoration and fairy tale characters, a huge pineapple in the middle, with seats under the pineapple. Around the pineapple, there are several coffee tables for guests to take a rest and drink coffee. On the counter and exhibition stand are a variety of candy, cakes and handmade chocolate. The taste is really good! It's worth trying! There are restaurants upstairs and downstairs. You must come to dinner next time! It's really hard for people to leave for a long time!

Across the street from the candy mall is the statue of Catherine II, which was built by the Imperial Russian government in memory of the Queen's merits after her death

A famous shop on Neva street, the design is perfect.

Strolling around, we will arrive at the hotel unconsciously. Our hotel is just on the side of the street. What can we have for dinner? The lunch that we had at more than 2 o'clock at noon seemed to have nothing to eat. LG suggested that there was nothing to eat back to the hotel, so we packed two sets of barbecue rolls back to the hotel. Back to the hotel, LG quickly made tea, washed cucumbers, poured milk and rolls. Today's dinner was solved like this! After dinner, we were busy as before, until we fell asleep, and the busy day passed again! October 19, St. Petersburg - Summer Palace

This morning, I couldn't procrastinate. I got up at 7 o'clock. It seemed to clear up outside the window. I urged LG to move faster. In fact, I procrastinated too. I quickly finished my breakfast and left the hotel at 9 o'clock. Today, we are going to the petersgove Summer Palace. There are two ways to get to the palace. One is by land, the other is by water. We are going to go by land, go back by water, and take a flying boat. Instead of going back, we will take the blue line 2, turn red line 1 to aftovo station, and then transfer to the bus. There are many 200 buses that we can transfer to; 210; k300; k224; k424; K424 et al. We soon arrived at aftovo subway station. We could see the bus from the right subway entrance. I took out my mobile phone address and the picture to the driver. He nodded and we got on the bus, 80 rubles each. It was about an hour. The bus stopped at the gate of the summer palace garden. Don't buy tickets to the garden. If you enter the gate, the fountain will stop. It will stop on October 15 in the off-season! Just stopped for a few days! What a pity! But it's good to leave a regret, then there will be a reason to come again!

The summer palace and Peter's palace or Peter's Palace are the docks for
