Circumbaikal Railway

Amazing landscape and unique experience. I will recommend this journey to all train lovers who also respect real nature.

Kazanskaya Tserkov'

就爱瞎溜达～

Russian architectural aesthetics This is a free attraction and you don't need to make an appointment to take pictures, but don't take pictures of people who are praying. On the one hand, it is impolite. On the other hand, some are doing confessions. The locals think this will make confessions useless. The tourists can visit quietly.



Olkhon Island

chenfeihua

It is definitely worth visiting, especially the ice cave, icicles, blue ice, and the sunrise and sunset at Shaman Rock. The sky is transparent, and the sun is reflected on the ice, which is like a dream, just like a fairyland.

Khuzhir

clara 🌝

It took six hours from Irkutsk Airport to finally land on the island. Huzhir Village is the largest village on the island. The most famous shaman rock is walking in the village behind the village. Behind it is the smoke in the sunset, and in front of it is the ice surface and the snowy mountains to feel the Russian dream nuclear like entering the childhood diy mini wooden house.

Lake Baikal

Lavender and Sun

The shores of the surrounding polymetamorphic, sedimentary and magma-rock Baikal Lakes are pulled apart at a rate of two centimeters per year. Lake Baikal is typical of many oceans unfathomable, huge reservoirs, undercurrents, tides, strong storms, large waves, growing rifts, geomagnetic anomalies, etc. Baikal depressions are asymmetrical, and the slopes in the west are steeper than in the east.

Kamen' Cherskogo

Daemon_Helen

Located in the small town of Listvyanka, you can take the cable car (round-trip tickets are required) directly to the observation deck on the top of Cherki Mountain. You can walk to the edge of the cliff to have a bird's eye view of Lake Baikal. In winter, this is a ski resort.

Tal'tsy

燃烧生命的小胖妞

The Talits open-air wooden folk museum is close to Irkutsk, and almost all of the buildings in the museum are made of original wood, simple and mellow, vividly recreated the scenes of Russian and indigenous people living and living around the eighteenth century. The museum is open-air, with ancient Russian houses relocated from nearby places, as well as winter churches, summer churches, shops, and traditional wells, waterwheels, and windmills for grinding flour, like a Russian town recreated hundreds of years ago Same.
