Chita is a beautiful mountain city with rich tourism resources. The city is located in the valley of the Chita and Ingoda rivers. The city's architectural layout is in a trapezoidal shape starting from the foot of the Chersky Mountains. The streets are winding and hidden among the natural pine forests; while the city is located on the left bank of the Ingoda River. The streets are neatly arranged, flat and straight, contrasting with the former. The Art Museum, the Decembrist Museum, the oldest museum in Siberia - Zabaikal Botanical and Zoological Museum, the Zabaikal Army History Museum, the Drama Theater and Puppet Theater, and the beautiful Lake Kenon are all good places to visit. The Decembrist Church is one of the important attractions in Chita. Played an important role in the history of Chita. The so-called "Decembrists" refer to a group of Russian aristocratic revolutionaries who were named after they launched armed uprisings against the tsarist dictatorship in Petersburg and Ukraine, but the uprisings failed miserably. The Decembrists were exiled to Siberia. It was their arrival that brought culture and vitality to the wasteland of Siberia. The development of Chita city is inseparable from the contributions of the Decembrists. The Decembrist Church was where the exiled Decembrists gathered. There are many pictures, information and physical objects on display here. These all record the history of the Decembrists. The wives of the Decembrists were all examples of extremely loyal love. No one divorced because their husband was sent away. These former noble ladies resolutely gave up their superior lives and followed their husbands to Siberia. Together with their husbands, they became heroes to the Russian people.
