Travel from Shijiazhuang to Russia

20 15 We're halfway through. Taking advantage of this annual leave, I choose to travel to Russia. Because I'm from Shijiazhuang, it's not too far to travel to Russia. As far as I'm concerned, not many people travel to Russia. There are many historical buildings in Russia, and many middle-aged and elderly people are willing to go to these places. I am a young man in my twenties, and they are puzzled by my trip to Russia. Russia is a fighting nation and the largest country in the world. I am very excited at the thought of going to this country which is inextricably linked with China. We took a charter flight from Shijiazhuang to Russia, took off at 12: 40 in the morning and landed in Moscow at 4: 40 local time. Because there is a 4-hour time difference between Moscow and China, the actual flight time is about 8 hours. After arriving in Moscow, I went through the transfer formalities and went to St. Petersburg, the second largest city in Russia. I still took a charter flight and arrived in St. Petersburg at 8: 35 Moscow time after an hour and a half flight. Fortunately, I bought window seats on both flights from Moscow to St. Petersburg, which is great for people who like photography! This is a photo I took on the plane. After the local guide received us, we started our trip to St. Petersburg by bus prepared in advance. During my three days in St. Petersburg, I stayed at the Moscow Hotel at the southernmost tip of Neva Street arranged by Northern Youth Travel Service. The room is not big and the bed is narrow, which is one of the strange things in Russia. The big bed is narrow when people are tall. The reason lies in Peter the Great's early sense of hardship. He is not allowed to sit and sleep too deeply. It is said that Peter the Great is more than two meters tall and sleeps in a small bed. Always ready to fight, so the traditional habit of Russians sleeping in narrow beds has been passed down to this day. Although the bed is not too narrow, it is enough. It was quiet all night. Have a good rest. Downstairs of the hotel is Metro Line 2, and there are many buses. The hotel is next to the supermarket. It is convenient to buy snacks at night. It should be noted that Russian hotels do not provide electric kettles, so it is best to bring an electric kettle to make tea before going out. After introducing the hotel, the following is basically the itinerary. Isakiev Cathedral Isakiev Cathedral is located in the downtown area of St. Petersburg, Russia. It is known as the four largest cathedrals in the world together with St. Peter's Cathedral in Vatican, St. Paul's Cathedral in London and Notre Dame de Florence. 1858, Issa Kiev Cathedral was completed, and 440,000 migrant workers worked for 40 years. The most famous is the 64 granite pillars and luxurious decorations around it. Only 400 kilograms of gold was used. After its completion, Issa Kiev Cathedral, which is not gilded, is still dazzling. There are many gilded, bronze and marble sculptures, many colorful mosaics and religious paintings, and works of art decorated with Urals gems, precious malachite and lapis lazuli. There are stairs in the church that can reach the top platform. From all directions of the platform, you can see the panoramic view of St. Petersburg. The bronze statue of Peter the Great stands in the center of The Decemberists Square between Issa Kiev Cathedral and neva river. This is the famous bronze knight statue unveiled on August 7th, 1782. It is 5 meters high and weighs 20 tons. Peter the Great rode a prancing horse with a firm spirit. There is a poisonous snake on the horse's hind hoof, which symbolizes the enemy's failure. The artistic charm of this statue can be strongly felt from any direction. Peter the Great Summer Palace Peter the Great Summer Palace is located 30 kilometers southwest of St. Petersburg, facing the Gulf of Finland in the Baltic Sea. It is very gorgeous, with a gilded dome on its wings. There is a group of fountains called the Great Waterfall in front of the palace. There are 37 golden statues, 29 hidden reliefs, 150 figurines, 64 fountains and 2 trapezoidal waterfalls. In the center of the fountain stands a statue of Hercules fighting with a lion. This is the famous rumbson fountain. A waterway in front of the Summer Palace in St. Petersburg, Baltic Sea, called Versailles Palace in Russia, leads to the seaside, which is the Gulf of Finland in the Baltic Sea. It is a big bay in the eastern Baltic Sea, between Finland and Estonia, and extends to St. Petersburg, Russia.

I walked along the canal to the seaside alone. I was fascinated by the fountains, Woods, bridges and beautiful sculptures by the river. After playing with the tour group for a few days, I finally ended my trip to Russia. During this trip, my biggest gain is my understanding of Russian history and culture. I don't know. It enriched my knowledge. I'm glad you're here.
