The best time for free travel in Lake Baikal

Lake Baikal is the deepest freshwater lake in the world at present. It is located in Siberia, Russia. Lake Baikal is very large, and fear and distance are bottomless. You will find your lost soul here. There are various holiday facilities on the shore of Lake Baikal, which will definitely make you have a vibrant holiday and travel experience.

When you look forward to Lake Baikal, you will know Lan Bing.

Understand the biting cold in Siberia

I also know the enthusiasm of the Russian people.

I didn't expect to come in person so soon.

The video has been cut for a long time, so I choose the material and my eyes.

1. When I first arrived in Olehong Island, I was intoxicated by the sunset.

One morning before I resigned, I saw the trip to Lake Baikal sent by Captain Xiao Hey. I have long heard that Lake Baikal is the oldest lake in the world and the blue eyes of Siberia, so I signed up the next day, bought a plane ticket and waited for this day.

It takes 3 hours by plane, 5 hours by car, and 0/0 minute by ferry/kloc. First, we arrive at Olehong Island, which is known as the heart of Lake Baikal.

We were received by a handsome Russian boy Nik (first from the right), who added a lot of fun to our later journey.

Team members

It's raining lightly in the sky. In addition to being brainwashed by Lake Baikal in Li Jian, my body also felt the Siberian cold wind, but soon, I was moved by the scattered country houses outside the window, which were full of Russian Buryatian customs and were very chic.

I thought I gave up on the first day, but the weather was fine that day. Soon the rain stopped and the group decided to go out and wave.

Lake Baikal

There are many dogs on the island, barking at seagulls all the time. For a moment, I really wish I could become a dog on the island of Olehong. I just need to sleep, run and chase seagulls every day.

Nick started taking us everywhere, showing us his tattoos.

After visiting Olehong Island, I am going to the shops in town for dinner, smoked fish, roast chicken, vodka and local juice. After dinner, people were a little tipsy, but it was still early, so I crossed the village and went back to the lake, with beautiful sunset all the way.

Lonely birds in the sunset,

Lonely trees by the lake

Drunk in the sunset on Olehong Island, I went to the lake to look for it alone because the lens cover was lost. When I came back, I was left alone on the whole lakeshore, as if heaven and earth were at my disposal.

With this beautiful scenery, I think all the bumps along the way are worth it.

2. On the northern line of Olehong Island, there are fish soup that has not been drunk and Nik that has been opened.

After breakfast the next day, I started my journey to the northern line of Olehong Island.

I have seen lakes, mountains, forests, snow-capped mountains, sand, and of course the inevitable cold along the way.

As a fighting nation, although there is no beard and beer belly of Russian uncle, our tour guide Nik showed us that he kept spinning and jumping, and the tour guide became a model under everyone's lens.

Captain Xiao Hey also started his own handstand, adding a unique scenery to the handstand team.

Nick and Shaw. Hey.

After getting high, Nik took off his clothes and played this on the edge of the cliff.

Captured an indescribable scene.

After some tossing and turning, it was finally lunchtime, and we were told that the driver's master had cooked lunch for us and hot fish soup. Is it impossible to go fishing in the lake in this cold wind? Don't people here have a lot of jobs and stunts?

After an hour of eating, I happily ran to this small pavilion ↓

Lunch place,

However, there is no fish soup.

We wonder if the master didn't catch the fish, so he didn't make soup for us. Later, when I asked, I realized that we didn't make an appointment in advance, so the driver didn't bring it.

Although there is no fish soup, there is hot tea, which is warm in the cold wind. Besides, these potatoes and sausages are unexpectedly delicious!

Mountain lunch,

On the way back, I passed through a large forest with red flowers on both sides and small pine balls on the ground. Nik reminds everyone that there is a small flying insect in the forest. Once bitten, you will die if you don't go to the hospital within a few hours, so everyone didn't go into the forest and started playing games with the big trees and pine nuts outside.

Accompanied by dynamic music, the scenery outside the window continued to grassland-lake-forest-grassland, and then returned to the hut where we lived.

3. Hold the cabin tightly and don't give up Olehong.

Ever since I saw those cabins on the road, I've been looking for a chance to have a good look, so I went out with my camera before dawn after dinner, and this group of cabins came into being.

On the way, I also met cows coming home late and children skipping rope, and greeted me warmly.

Moo,

Encounter naivety

Hey, Captain Xiao stayed up late to shoot the starry sky. I was downstairs chatting with my Russian aunt about Qin Shihuang and Terracotta Warriors and Horses, and was praised as "well said".

After the English class, I went to bed contentedly.

Probably because I didn't give up, I woke up early the next morning, and I went to the lake through a birch forest, standing quietly. I want to know what I took, and I can watch it in the video above.

Self-portrait, it looks beautiful.

At nine o'clock in the morning, there was hardly anyone by the lake.

Only seagulls fly quietly.

Accompany,

Back to the cabin, everyone began to enjoy breakfast.

Sunshine and breakfast,

After breakfast, I reluctantly left Olehong and started the next journey.

Ma Ma urges me to sleep, update tomorrow ~

finally

Thank you for being so beautiful and willing to come to see me.

Listen to me carefully.

Take the initiative, and we will have a story.

4. Leaving Olehong, the scenery and stories on the road

The car gradually left Olehong Island, still beautiful all the way, and suddenly stopped at a mountain pass. According to Nick, this is a "sacred place".

Look carefully at a statue, which is said to be a revolutionary hero. If I am not familiar with history, I should skip it. Looking down, I saw a wine bottle in the middle of the stone. Maybe there is a story here.

It was another bumpy journey, and finally I came to a slightly deserted place, with blue sky and white clouds, and various Buryatian-style wooden buildings on the roadside. Lunch is settled here. Before lunch, I didn't forget to take a group photo with my friends outside. There are few cars on the wide road, so I can enjoy myself.

There is an episode here. A sister in the same trade met several Russian drunks at the place where she was eating, and they were all up to no good. Fortunately, there are several strong men here, and the other side dare not do anything. I would like to remind you that if you are a person, especially your sister, you must pay attention to safety.

5. Irkutsk, the symbol of this city

After several hours of wandering, I finally arrived in Irkutsk, the nearest urban area to Lake Baikal. I heard that there are more than 70 churches here. I saw the works taken by other photographers here before I went. The windows of all colors are very beautiful, so I am looking forward to the church very much. Shooting a door is a paradise for symmetrical composition lovers.

This dome is an orthodox church. When there is a dead person in the family, this church will light a candle. If you meet a newly married couple, it is said that you will receive blessings for a whole year. It should be noted that women need to bring the headscarf given by the door when they go in.

Not far from here is the Angara River. There are more than 300 rivers flowing into Lake Baikal, and the lake water only flows out through the angara River. There are many locks hanging on the iron railings by the lake, which were hung by Irkutsk people when they got married. After years of erosion, they are still strong, which I guess symbolizes the stability of love.

The streets of Irkutsk are clean and quiet, and the buildings exude the breath of history.

From time to time, you can also see planes flying in the air (guess whether they are fighters).

On the way, I also passed a square. Pigeons in the square, like pigeons all over the world, have no resistance to crumbs, but children have no resistance to pigeons.

Attach road signs, and each place name is equipped with interesting patterns. The icon on the lower left is the famous Marx Street, which is relatively prosperous and probably equivalent to the status of Nanjing West Road in Shanghai.

6. The small train is around the lake, half of the glasses are lost, and the scenery is full.

Taking a small train around Lake Baikal is the only way for many people to come to Lake Baikal, and we are no exception. After the werewolf killed all the way, I arrived at the station of the small train. It's a long drive, so we need to bring our own food. When our friends went to buy food, we almost missed the train, so we ran all the way and finally got on the small train.

The train is moving slowly, and people along the way seem to have long been used to the train passing by, while the dogs are still looking around enthusiastically.

There is not much scenery along the way, so let's take the picture above.

The small train occasionally stops and gets off to take pictures of everyone.

I got off at the first stop, and Nik took me to see a small manor on the top of the hill ahead.

I ran very fast because I was afraid of making the same mistake and missed the bus. When I came back, I found that only half of the glasses I lost on the road were with lenses.

I met a Polish when I was on the bus, but I didn't book a boat, so we chatted and learned that he had gone to more than 60 countries, which was a bit awesome (the picture shows this Polish compatriot consciously stealing shots when I was shooting scenery).

Accompanied by the scenery all the way, the small train arrived at Lisztvika, a sparkling lake town in the distant sunset.

At that time, it was the last night of the trip to Lake Baikal. At dinner, I went to the best shop in Lilei Town, and even the dining table was in the shape of Lake Baikal.

I ordered beer and all kinds of fish and meat. I'm full of wine, fish and meat.

Play an episode:

The night before, after drinking, I went back to the hotel. Captain Xiao Hey was knocked on the window by Irkutsk next door late at night and asked to go out for two glasses of vodka. In the words of his circle of friends:

"They use Russian, I use English? Chinese

In any case, no one understood what they were saying.

It's good. Good. Good. ....

Then drink, shake hands and then drink.

Can only say that the Russians are too generous [covering their faces] "

7. Different museums

On the last day, Nik finally started the tour guide mode and told us something.

History and geography. At the exit of Lake Baikal flowing into the Angara River, there is a huge stone across the middle stream, which is called "sacred stone" by the locals. When the water rises, the boulder looks like it is rolling.

Legend has it that a long time ago, there lived a warrior named Baikal by the lake, and he had a beautiful daughter named angara under his knees.

Baikal loves her daughter very much, and she is very strict, and she is not allowed to step out of the house.

One day, seagulls flying from a distance told angara that a young man named Yenisei was very hardworking and brave, and angara's good feelings came into being. When Baikal was informed, he flatly refused and wanted to betroth his daughter to a young man nearby. Angara was so desperate that he had to leave home quietly while his father was sleeping.

Lake Baikal woke up from a deep sleep and couldn't catch up. He picked up a stone and threw it in the direction of his daughter's escape, thinking that it could block her way, but her daughter had gone far away and fell into Yenisev's arms as she wished.

Since then, this boulder has been standing in the middle of the lake.

I didn't shoot the boulder, but took a bus stop as a souvenir.

In the Baikal Museum, I saw a crayfish that purified the lake water. This crayfish is not the original crayfish. Later, everyone actually observed this lobster in the microscope room upstairs, which can only be seen with a microscope. Therefore, foodies can retire.

Lake Baikal Museum also has a lovely pet-seal.

Yes, this one is covered in meat. It's a seal. Made it into a gif on purpose.

Nik, who started the tour guide mode not long ago, finally returned to the next place to be a model.

It is suitable for skiing here in winter, and now you can see that some snow has not melted. When we went down the mountain, we sat on the cable car, and Nik ran down to play with the snow. Looking at a sunny day, you can actually wear a thin down jacket. Again, the young people of the fighting nation are really not afraid of the cold.

The next log cabin museum (maybe this name? ) Walking past a prison, I was wondering why there was only one room in the prison, when I heard an explanation that because it was too cold here, the prisoners were basically cold for a day or two.

I also met an aunt who sold some souvenirs in the museum. I was attracted by these paintings. My aunt said they were painted by a local folk beauty artist with her signature on them. But the price was slightly higher, so I bought it at last.

For the same postcard, please ask Nik to write a postcard in Russian and send it to a friend who left a message on WeChat official account before ~

At this point, the trip to Lake Baikal basically ended.

Well, this trip to Lake Baikal arranged outdoors is simply wonderful. I hope I can go there again in winter, go skiing, see Lan Bing, stay in a cabin in winter and meet those people I have met.

Reminder: Irkutsk airport entry-exit inspection is very slow. Almost everyone takes a few minutes, so try to set aside more time.

The first church is a typical Catholic church, not an Orthodox church. There is a difference between the two.

Compare yourself with Kazan church, and the difference is quite different from the blogger's picture.

The spire of the Catholic church, the cross looks like a cross; Orthodox churches are mostly onion heads. The cross looks like a cross, with a horizontal line above and a little below.
