Going to Lake Baikal in winter is a must An indispensable experience

See the blue ice condensed in the deep lake water

As the first snow at the beginning of winter, it basically comes at the end of October every year. Although it has snowed at the end of October, due to Baikal The lake is huge and freezes slowly. It will not be completely frozen until around New Year's Day. Especially from mid-to-late December to around New Year's Day, when it is about to be completely frozen, it is the most beautiful time for the rime on Lake Baikal. The whole process from entering the lake area to arriving On both sides of this several-kilometer-long road in the center of Listvyanka town, spectacular rime is blooming. Coupled with the steaming mist generated by heat exchange, it feels like being in a fairyland and snow country. Such spectacular rime has to be called a... Great spectacle.

From January to May every year, Lake Baikal is always frozen, with the ice layer reaching 90 cm thick, and the average temperature is minus 38℃

However, her beauty But it won't be reduced by half a point.

Some bubbles are hidden under the blue ice. Perhaps if you go deeper into Lake Baikal, you can pry open the ice and catch a glimpse of hard-to-encounter creatures.

Looking along the road, the sky coats this crystal-clear lake with a moist blue, like an oil painting, with clear depth and shallow layers extending infinitely. It is not like a salt lake or Antarctica. This is an indescribable magnificence that only belongs to mysterious Siberia.

The most attractive thing is: go outside the Irkutsk Language University and hold up a sign saying I am Chinese and will practice speaking with you. In less than 10 minutes, a beautiful Russian girl will come over. I’m looking for you to practice speaking. Another thing to note is that since it is a small city, it is necessary to contact the accommodation in advance for pick-up. Tonight we stayed at the Irkutsk

City

Lodge, which is considered a youth hostel. We stayed in a 10-person room , I am not price sensitive, so I think it is very cheap, 600 rubles per person. The decoration is relatively new and the facilities are neat. The room has 2 bathrooms and a shower room. The boss is a divorced young woman who looks pretty good and is very nice. She even made breakfast for us the next morning, oatmeal + biscuits + coffee/black tea.

Early on the next morning, a pre-arranged minibus picked us up from our residence and took us to Olkhon Island. The cost was 700 rubles per person. If we went to the station and took the bus by ourselves, it would only cost 500 rubles, but considering the time and the distance to the city Due to unfamiliarity and other reasons, I chose to be picked up by car. You can ask the hotel to help you book this.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, a Fiat that looked like Iveco appeared on time. In addition to us, there was also a Hong Kong uncle and a Singaporean guy in the car. Later, a Norwegian engineer and several local Russians also came up. people.

The car is not big, but there is a lot of luggage, which is very stuffed. The journey takes about 5 hours, with one break in the middle. It will be uncomfortable to sit in it. Fortunately, the scenery along the way is beautiful, and 6 people are traveling together. , talking and laughing and very happy.

We stayed on Olkhon Island for 3 nights. We stayed at Nikita's hotel. The price was 2,700 rubles per person, including three meals. The location was very good, the view was right outside the door, the facilities were average, and it was very popular. Contact the event through the front desk. very convenient. We stayed in a 4-person room and a 2-person room. The slight drawback is that the bathroom and shower of this room type 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.

Since I arrived in the afternoon, I walked around casually. It was indeed beautiful. The itinerary in the next few days further confirmed this. Dinner is provided by the hotel. The content is relatively simple but filling. There are always a few cute breasts wandering around you when you are eating, including big breasts, small breasts, black breasts, and yellow breasts (how come they look a bit evil.

You can meet them in this place Many fierce people, such as two handsome French guys, traveled all the way through Europe on second-hand motorcycles from their hometown to Russia. A German girl even rode a bicycle all the way east here, and there was also a handsome French photographer who swam here. I simply stopped and worked as a waiter, etc.

The original plan for the next day was to participate in water sports, but we couldn’t get enough people. At least 8 people were needed to make the trip possible, so the content of the second day was decided. It became a free trip, but I was not disappointed at all, because Olkhon Island is very big, and it is still fun to walk on the boat in the evening. It costs 600 rubles per person. It feels good, but it is a little cold. Wear more clothes.

On the third day, we will travel by car to the northern part of Olkhon Island. The whole trip starts at 10 am and returns at around 5 pm. The road is slightly bumpy. If you have motion sickness, prepare motion sickness medicine beforehand. Well, it’s really worth the trip.

It’s very impressive to take a few photos. I bought a card camera in 2010.

It’s worth mentioning that it was at noon. For lunch, due to the language barrier, I was once disappointed and thought I could only rely on the beautiful scenery to satisfy my hunger. The little boy who was traveling with me had already started to look for things like moss based on the instructions from Mr. Bei in Ying’s memory. As a result, the Russian driver uncle had already prepared a delicious lunch. , vegetable salad, butter bread, fish soup, black tea, and bun-shaped dessert, so everyone devoured it without leaving any pictures.

When we returned to our accommodation in the evening, the handsome French man told us that he would be in the concert hall at 8:30 pm. There was a Russian folk music performance. It was actually a small room, right at the door of the hotel. It was an accordion performance by a Russian old man with quite a personality. He played several songs for about an hour. It was very interesting. He was probably young. I was also a master at picking up girls, but I didn’t leave any pictures, I only recorded a few videos.

I returned to Irkutsk on October 3. The minibus was booked at the front desk one day in advance for 650 rubles. / person, the accommodation back to Ishita is AdmiralHostel

, 500 rubles per person, the facilities are old, but it is very popular, the location is not far from the city hall, and there is a Marriott Hotel nearby which is considered a landmark. Facilities aside, the only drawback of the hotel is that it's about a 40-50 minute walk from the station, basically across the city.

The minibus that takes you back to Ishi from Nikita is a Mongolian one. The car we were driving was relatively empty this time, and luckily, there was a young Chinese couple in the car. The handsome young man among them went to university in St. Petersburg, so he helped us a lot and gave us a lot of advice. < /p>

We had lunch at a German restaurant 400 meters away from the station. Because I was very hungry, I couldn’t objectively comment on the taste. It should be pretty good. Coincidentally, the beautiful woman sitting at the table next to me actually works in Shanghai and speaks very good Chinese. Well, her friend also helped us point out the way to Admiral, which was in the right direction, but unfortunately, she said it would take 15 minutes, but it turned out to be 50 minutes.

Ishi is not big, and it should be said that it is quite beautiful. However, because the threshold was raised by Olkhon Island a few days ago, I am a bit tired of aesthetics, but the blue sky here left a deep impression on me. The impression is really blue. I rested for a while in the afternoon and then went out for a half-circle around Ishi. In the evening, I bought some pictures for some Chechen buddies at a convenience store

On October 4th, I set off for Listvyanka. From the bus station It takes one hour to get there by car, and there is a bus every hour, 50 rubles per person. My accommodation is the Orange Tree Hotel, which is owned by Chinese people. The only reason why I chose this place is that the owner is Chinese. In Irkutsk, the popularity of English is not higher than that in second- and third-tier cities in China. Except for people in hotels who can speak English, almost no one on the road can, so whether you know English or not is not important here. Communication basically relies on body language and calculations. device.

The one-hour drive was very fast, and the group was attracted by the scenery as soon as they got off the bus. But what I couldn't bear was that I was hungry, so I simply bought a big piece of bread to satisfy my hunger while looking for an orange tree. The town is very small, but the orange trees are hard to find. You have to walk up a path about 100 meters away from the station for about 500 meters. We lived in a four-person room and a two-person room, which cost 5,000 rubles per night. After checking in, we quickly went to the market next to the station to have dinner! Because while I was looking for the orange tree just now, I was deeply attracted by the smell of barbecue at the entrance of the market in the town.

And surprisingly, the handsome waiter in this store could speak some Chinese, so I was very happy to eat and drink. However, the price was not cheap, more than 500 rubles per person. It is worth mentioning that the grilled fish sold in the market is delicious and very cheap. It costs 70 rubles a piece. We ate about 10 fish in one day.

After several days of sightseeing, everyone was quite tired, so the originally scheduled barbecue at the beach was changed to a walk. The night in the town was very quiet, and there were only a few people on the road at 8 o'clock. Listening to the sea breeze, walking along the lake, and looking up occasionally, it feels great to see the stars in the sky. But you have to watch your feet, otherwise you might get sprained feet like me.

Since it was an early morning flight on the 6th, I contacted the owner of the Orange Tree and drove him to the airport at 10:30 pm. I negotiated the price and the deal was settled at 2,500 rubles. I packed my luggage at noon, stored it in the hotel, and started the last day of the trip. What is more regrettable is that many people recommended the folk village, but because we forgot the pronunciation of Russian, we had to give up. After eating good Chinese food, we set off towards the hill near the Li Town Museum, because there is a viewing point on the hill.

We walked about 5 kilometers from the station and came across a small shop selling souvenirs on the way, so we all went in and bought a bunch of small things. We returned home with a full load.

After walking for about an hour, I finally arrived at the museum, but it was really not worth visiting, especially when I bought a 300 ruble ticket and completed the tour in about 5 minutes. I felt even more deeply because once I came to the museum It's very small, the entire first floor only covers an area of ??less than 200 square meters. Secondly, all the explanations are in Russian, you know.

The next step is to go up the mountain. You can take a cable car at the knee of the mountain. If you don’t want to walk, you can spend 200 rubles to take a round trip. The scenery on the top of the mountain was good, so the group took some pictures.

Dinner was again served at the barbecue restaurant at noon on the 4th. After a delicious meal, we returned to the Orange Tree to wait for the bus. After sitting on the stairs for an hour, a few naughty kids learned that there was a big restaurant on the third floor. In the activity room, you can also sing karaoke, but we don’t know how to adjust the equipment, so we just watch TV and surf the Internet.

At 10:30, shopkeeper Guo sent us off on time. We arrived at the airport in about 45 minutes. We encountered a small accident on the way. A car in the opposite lane hit a pedestrian on the roadside. It was knocked off. Judging from the sound, it was basically saved.

The ticket exchange, customs clearance and security check were very fast. So the next step is to wait for the end of this Lake Baikal trip.

Review summary:

1. Language. Most people in Yi City do not understand English, and there is not much tourism development. Almost all road signs are in Russian, so plan the strategy and body language in advance. Language and calculator are important. However, everyone in the hotel can speak English, so knowing English is still useful here, and you can chat and communicate with friends from many other countries, so it is always good to study hard.

2. Temperature, at least during the few days we were here, just wear a T-shirt + ordinary jacket during the day, and add another layer at night. Maybe God took pity on us naughty kids. The weather has been very good and sunny.

3. Prices. I have never been to a donkey shop, so I can’t compare them. If I compare them only with domestic prices, the prices are lower than those in Shanghai and Beijing. For example: we have been to several restaurants that look good in decoration. , the per capita consumption is 300-500 rubles; the juice and chocolate in the convenience store are cheaper than in China; we did not stay in a star hotel, but in terms of hotels, we stayed in bunks, which cost only 500-800 rubles per person.

4. To fix the leak, there is a train around the lake which is said to be beautiful, but we didn’t figure out the departure location and time, so we gave up. The security situation is unclear, and the streets are almost empty after 9 pm. Because of the language barrier, I don’t dare to go to nightclubs in Yishi.

5. Miscellaneous, the pictures I attached are all randomly found from my photos. In addition, I am not a SLR and I don’t like photography, so the effect I took is far inferior to what I see with my own eyes. Lake Baikal is beautiful.

Finally, let’s take a family photo and a profile photo of myself, both taken at Lake Baikal

Have a high-calorie Russian meal

Russian-style Western food does not have a gorgeous, noble and inaccessible "appearance". Instead, it is very simple, natural and approachable. The fragrant meatloaf, crispy pickled cucumbers, golden fried potato chips and creamy desserts are alluring. I feel friendly as soon as I see him.

Russian dinner consists of many dishes, which are usually well matched and clearly prioritized. After tasting them one by one, you will realize that Russian dishes are actually very sophisticated, but they are not overly showy and show off. Like a nobleman who has washed away all his glory, there is still an inherent nobility and reserve in his calm expression.
