The Cultural Tradition of Lake Baikal

Lake Baikal Folk Museum is located on the east bank of Lake Baikal, 60 kilometers away from the lake, and can be reached by bus. The folk museum is located in the open air in a forest. There are many living facilities of nomadic people in the East in the museum: tents made of skins and birch bark by Ewenki people, yurts used by the poor in Buryatia, wooden houses of Buryatia people in ancient Russia, as well as huts, granaries, bathhouses and chicken houses. Coupled with the unique national costumes, costumes and horses with exquisite saddles, all this is a beautiful natural landscape against the backdrop of the big forest. Other tourist attractions in Ulan-Ude include the Lama Temple and the Museum of Natural History.

The residents of Lake Baikal believe that Lake Baikal will not "return" anything it gets. The lake is too deep to explore what is submerged. According to legend, everything that sank into the lake was sent to Olhon Island, the largest island in the lake, which is the "fairyland" of Borhan, the "lake god". Buryats worship Borhan. Local residents call Lake Baikal the sea. Fishermen, gold diggers, miners, scholars, photographers and tourists said in unison that Lake Baikal is as changeable as the sea, and the current here is fast and unpredictable.

Old residents are used to the temper of Lake Baikal and understand the nature of "Lake God". They tried their best to serve him and hoped for peace. In the local area, when people drink vodka, they will pour a few drops on the ground to worship the lake god. When you meet an altar on the way, you should offer coins, candy, cigarettes and even matches. At the exit where the lake flows northward into the Angara River, there is a very huge boulder, which is called the "sacred stone". 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 only daughter, angara. Baikal loves his daughter very much and controls her very strictly. One day, the flying seagulls told angara that a young man named Yenisei was very hardworking and brave, and angara's admiration was born, but Baikal flatly refused, so angara had to leave quietly while his father was asleep. When Baikal woke up, he couldn't catch up, so he threw a boulder, thinking that he could block his daughter's way, but her daughter had already gone far away and threw herself into Yenisev's arms. Since then, this boulder has been standing in the middle of the lake.

The width of the outlet of Lake Baikal is about 1 000m. The boulder standing in the center of the lake outlet is called "Schemansky". When the river overflows, this magical boulder will look like it is rolling. The streams around the lake are scattered and surrounded by mountains. There are few impurities in the lake, which is extremely clear. It is said that the lake is clear because there are frequent earthquakes at the bottom of Lake Baikal, and the chemicals produced by the earthquakes precipitate at the bottom of the lake, making the lake clear, so Lake Baikal is always crystal clear. The transparency of the lake is as deep as 40.5 meters, so it is known as "the bright eye of Siberia". Black circle

Beijing time on June 2, 2009 According to the life science website, in April, 2009, the astronauts of the International Space Station found two mysterious huge black circles on the ice of Lake Baikal. According to media reports, the reason for the formation of these two huge mysterious black circles is a mystery. But experts say that they have found the reason for the formation of these two huge black circles, and methane rising from the bottom of the lake is the main reason for the emergence of black circles. According to reports, these two black circles are located in the center of melting ice in Lake Baikal, and the ice in Lake Baikal can be preserved until June every year. Biogas released from the bottom of the lake can produce rising warm water flow, which rotates under the action of the earth's rotation deviation. The deviation of the earth's rotation is also an important factor leading to the formation of hurricanes.

Frequent accidents

Lake Baikal has a bad temper and often capsizes. Since recorded, the history of Lake Baikal has been a history of shipwreck. 1On September 4th, 702, the storm overturned the garbage that sent money to Saulier. 1890, the steamboat "Crown Prince Tsar" sank to the bottom of the lake in the storm. 1900101On October 4th, the bare flat-bottomed cargo ship Zilianov sank in the storm. 1On August 9th, 903, the tornado "presented" 40 barges to Lake God in one day.

In 2003 alone, patrols of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations found more than 65,438,000 sunken speedboats and cars in a lake in Olyhon Bay.

1On June 30th, 908, the Tunguska Big Bang happened 800km northwest of the lake, which affected the forest near the lake.

Mystery of water monster

When it comes to Lake Baikal, the first thing that comes to mind is the monster of Lake Baikal. Lake Baikal is also shrouded in mystery because of the rumors of water monsters. Because of the long history of Lake Baikal, there are many rare creatures living in the bottom of the lake, which is the largest number of endangered endemic animals and plants in the world. * * * There are 848 species of endangered animals and fish, and 133 species of plants. At the same time, as Lake Baikal is the largest freshwater lake in Asia and Europe and the deepest and largest water storage lake in the world, although the lake is calm, it will fog from time to time, and the depth of the lake makes people unconsciously associate with it. Many scientists believe that some ancient species may have evolved into "water monsters" in people's mouths after a long period of evolution, but just like the Loch Ness monster, there is still no definite evidence and clear enough photos to show the existence of "water monsters".

The beautiful and rich Lake Baikal has always had magical colors in the hearts of the world.
