In addition to the ruble, the most convenient currency to use is the US dollar. You can exchange some US dollars according to the situation before departure, and then exchange them into rubles in Russia. There are many places where money can be exchanged in Russia, including banking institutions, post offices, shopping malls, stations, airports and near tourist attractions. The exchange rates charged in various places are different, and the handling fees are also high and low. It is generally more cost-effective to exchange currency with US dollars in Russia.

Every country has its own customary habits, and Russia is no exception. Russians don't like the number "13" and think it is a symbol of unlucky and dangerous, so special attention needs to be paid in the wording. On the contrary, they believe that "7" is an auspicious number, which means happiness, beauty and success. Russians don't like black cats, but they like horses very much, thinking that horses will bring them good luck. Also, in social etiquette, be careful not to use your left hand when shaking hands.

Russian time is actually Moscow time. Moscow is located in the East Third District (GMT+3), which is five hours different from Beijing in the East Eighth District (GMT+8). Beijing is five hours ahead of Moscow. For example: 10:00 Beijing time, the corresponding Moscow time is 5:00. In addition, because of the large east-west span, each region in Russia actually implements its own time, and not all regions use Moscow time.
