Travel Notes

It would be an absolute regret for anyone who has traveled to Moscow not to visit the manor. Manor culture is a unique business card of Moscow.

Russian-style manors are just like Chinese classical gardens, with royal and aristocratic residences or summer palaces, just like the Forbidden City in Beijing and the Humble Administrator's Garden in Suzhou.

The design of Chinese classical gardens highlights the artistic conception of poetry and painting. The Russian-style manor places the building complex among natural scenery such as original forests and rivers.

Moscow is a city built along the Moskva River, and these estates are basically built on both sides of the Moskva River.

Most of the manor houses in Moscow have been destroyed by Napoleon's invasion in 1812 and the domestic revolution period, but they have basically been preserved and later repaired for tourists to visit.

It is said that there are thousands of manors throughout Russia. Famous manors in Moscow include Koromensk Manor, Tsaritsyno Manor, Kuskovo Manor, Kuzminki Manor, Arkhangelskoye Manor, etc. Each of these manors has its own characteristics, and they basically belong to the 18th-19th century manors.

The entrance to most manors is free, and there is a fee to enter the museums inside. However, for only a small amount of money, you can view the massive oil paintings, sculptures, porcelain, and books collected in these manors. In addition, the palaces, churches and other buildings of different styles in the manor are also works of art of great ornamental value.

Many of the trees in the original forest in the manor are over 200 years old. There are rare birds singing and squirrels playing in the woods. There are ducks swimming and water birds flying on the river in the manor.

The area of ??these manors is hundreds of hectares, such as the Koromensk Manor, which covers an area of ??390 hectares. Touring these estates is definitely a physical activity, and some estates are difficult to complete in a day. Visitors often forget to be tired as they marvel at the beauty of the estate.

After two to three hundred years of accumulation, the former owners of these manors have long since disappeared like smoke, but the trees have become increasingly thick and lush, and the buildings are still standing. In the past, the large manor was only available to the nobles, but now it has become a popular place for ordinary people to relax on weekends.
