From this newspaper, you can fish in Lake Baikal in July this year. Recently, the China National Tourism Administration and the Russian Federal Tourism Administration signed a relevant agreement in Moscow and decided to launch Chinese citizen group tourism business in Russia in July this year. This means that after the signing of the tourism opening agreement in 2003, Russian group tourism will also be officially opened.

Starting from July, Hangzhou tourists can also see the vast territory of Russia with their own eyes like the 7.5 million tourists who travel to Russia every year, and visit Pushkin, Tolstoy, Chekhov and Tchaikov Ji's hometown.

Go to Russia, the largest shopping mall in Moscow - the GUM, the Kremlin, the Moscow Metro known as the "Underground Palace", and the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, one of the "Russian Versailles" The famous summer palace and famous suburban parks are attractions not to be missed; you can also take a comfortable cruise along the Volga River, and visit many ancient cities in Russia along the way; you can enjoy ancient castles, churches, monasteries and Museum; in addition, Russia is also famous for its circus and ballet performances. Such a tour takes about 5 to 10 days.

Manager Zhao from the outbound department of Hangzhou Overseas Travel Agency said that previous trips to Russia were usually business groups. In early July, the travel agency offered a 7-day Russian-style tour with a price of 7,190 yuan. , compared with European tours, the price is relatively cheaper, mainly because there are not many tourists interested in traveling to Russia at present, and the recognition level is not as high as that of European tours. However, with the official opening of group tours, prices are expected to drop. Russia’s history and culture with strong national characteristics is the biggest selling point of this route. In addition to traditional matryoshka dolls and hand-painted turbans, Russian souvenirs worth taking home include Gzhel porcelain, Vologda lace and Palekh miniatures.

The best travel season to Russia is from May to October. Summer is the most suitable time to travel to Russia because the daylight hours are longer and tourists can visit more cities and attractions.
