Of course you won’t find the best answer if you look for it as a country!

Siberia is part of Russia, simple as that. Looking at the map, Russia is vast across Asia and Europe. On top of Mongolia is Siberia, to the west is the Ural Mountains, and to the east is probably Vladivostok, the Bering Strait. A large area, and specifically refers to the area east of the Ural Mountains in Russia.

Other countries should not be included.

Siberia is a vast belt in North Asia within Russia. It starts from the Ural Mountains in the west, reaches the Pacific Ocean in the east, borders the Arctic Ocean in the north, reaches the mountains of central and northern Kazakhstan in the southwest, and is adjacent to China, Mongolia and North Korea in the south. It covers an area of ??12.76 million square kilometers. Except for the southwest end, it is entirely within the territory of Russia. Some people also regard the watershed between the Arctic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean as its eastern boundary (the east is called the Far East). It is about 7,000 kilometers long from east to west, 3,500 kilometers wide from north to south, and covers an area of ??about 10 million square kilometers.

Siberia has a vast territory, with plains in the west and mountains and plateaus in the middle and east. According to natural conditions, it can be divided into three main regions: the west is the West Siberian Plain, between the Ural Mountains and the Yenisey River, with low terrain, wide swamps, and an average altitude of 120 meters. The main rivers are the Ob River and the Yenisey River. The Nisei River; the central part is the Central Siberian Plateau, starting from the Putorana Mountains at the northwest corner of the Yenisei River in the west and the Dalena River basin in the east, with an average altitude of 300 to 500 meters, and the plateau surface is broken; the southern and northeastern mountains include cut Ersky Mountains, Verkhyansk Mountains, Baikal Mountains, East and West Sayan Mountains, Altai Mountains (northwestern section), etc. Siberia is located in mid-to-high latitudes and has a cold climate. The two "cold poles" of the northern hemisphere (Verkhovyansk and Oymyakon) are located here. The continental climate is significant, gradually increasing from west to east, with long, cold winters and mild, short summers. The average annual temperature is below 0℃. The absolute low temperature in the northeastern Yakutia region is -70°C. The spatial and temporal differences in precipitation are obvious. The annual precipitation is 100-250 mm along the Arctic Ocean, 500-600 mm in the coniferous forest zone, and 1000-2000 mm in the Altai Mountains. 75% to 80% of precipitation is mainly concentrated in summer. Vegetation includes tundra, forest swamp, taiga, forest steppe and treeless steppe. From north to south there are tundra, forest tundra, forest, forest steppe and grassland belt. Most rivers flow into the Arctic Ocean, such as the Ob River, the Yenisey River and the Lena River. Lake Baikal is the world's largest and deepest freshwater lake. Permafrost and permafrost are widespread. Coniferous forests account for 60-70% of the region's mountainous area. Furry beast. Siberia is rich in natural resources, with mineral deposits including oil, natural gas, coal, gold, diamonds, etc. The distribution of various resources is relatively concentrated, and there are many large mineral deposits. The hydropower resource reserves account for more than half of Russia's total.

Siberia is the habitat of nomadic people. Beginning in the second half of the 16th century, Tsarist Russia expanded across the Ural Mountains to Siberia and cut off large tracts of territory that originally belonged to China. After the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway from 1895 to 1905, the area began to be developed on a large scale, and the population, mainly of Russian ethnicity, moved eastward in large numbers. During the first Five-Year Plan of the former Soviet Union (1928-1932), the industries along the Kuznetsk Coalfield and the Trans-Siberian Railway developed greatly. In the 1950s, the development of hydropower resources of the Angara-Yenisei River was implemented. Large oil and gas fields in Western Siberia have been developed since the mid-1960s. In the mid-1970s, construction began on the 4,275-kilometer second Siberian railway, the Baikal-Amur Railway (Tashet-Soviet Port), which was opened to traffic in November 1984. Siberia is an important energy and raw material base. On this basis, the petrochemical industry, coal chemical industry, non-ferrous metal mining, and metallurgical industries are also very developed. The steel industry has begun to take shape, and the machinery industry has developed, but it does not have supporting facilities and is still weak. Agriculture is more developed in southern West Siberia, with wheat, dairy and meat livestock industries as the main sectors.

The population is about 40 million. Russians account for more than 80%, Ukrainians and Belarusians account for about 5%, and others include Komi, Yakuts, Tuvans, etc. The population is distributed along the railway lines. The main cities in Siberia include Novosibirsk and Krasnoyarsk.

Siberia - more like an image of a regional range than a geographical term. The entire east of the Ural Mountains and the entire northern part of the Asian continent is often called Siberia by many people, especially foreigners. Those who have never been here have a stereotype about this vast area—cities, forests, oceans, rivers, lakes, and swamps—and always associate it with snowy areas, severe cold, emptiness, and savagery.

In fact, Siberia has various forms. It can be divided into some regions according to certain conditions: Western and Northern Siberia, Altai, Tuva, Khakassia, Sayan and Transbaikal regions, Yakutia, and even the northernmost part can be included in Siberia. Seven thousand kilometers from west to east, 3,500 kilometers from north to south, 10 million square kilometers, almost equivalent to the area of ??20 France - this is Siberia!

This is a rich and underdeveloped land. Three centuries ago, Russian scientist-educator Mikhail Lomonosov once predicted: "Siberia will promote the strength of Russia."

It is rich in natural gas, oil, gold, diamonds, wood, furs, wildlife, fish and clean fresh water. The world's largest power stations are built on many large rivers. In general, everything in Siberia is on a grand scale: the Ob, Irtysh, Yenisey and Altai mountains are particularly attractive. The symbol of the region is Lake Teletskoye. Local residents call it Golden Lake. This area is popular with hikers, cyclists, water sports enthusiasts, skiers, mountain climbers, and horseback riders. The complex waterways along the Katong, Baskaus, Chuya and Chumesh rivers can test your perseverance and courage. Climbing Mount Belukh (4056 meters), the highest peak in Altai, is considered a matter of great pride. There are paved alpine ski trails in the Shaurya Mountains, not far from Myzhdurechinsk.

Hidden in the vast virgin forest is the mysterious Putolanna Plateau - the highest part of the Central Siberian Plateau. "Putolan" means "Kingdom of Cliff Lake" in the language of the local residents, the Evenki people. Valleys up to 1,000 meters deep cut off the plateau to form lakes. Standing on the highest point - Kamien Mountain, you can have a panoramic view for hundreds of kilometers. Water cascades down the steep valley walls, forming a series of waterfalls. Of course, there are no roads here, so tourists fly hundreds of kilometers by helicopter to get here.

For the indigenous people in the north, deer are always the most precious possessions. You can ride a deer or hitch a sled on the road, you can use deer fur to sew clothes and shoes, or you can build tents - houses for local residents, and venison has been the main food of northerners for hundreds of years.

In Southern Siberia, on the banks of the Yenisey River, there live some ethnic minorities - Khakassians, Angara River, Lena River, Altai and Sayan Mountains, the Pearl of Eastern Siberia - —Lake Baikal. Lake Baikal is the deepest and possibly oldest lake in the world, with a history of 25 million years. It contains almost a quarter of the world's fresh water reserves, and it is very clear and transparent. The white disk with a diameter of 30 centimeters can still be seen 40 meters underwater in Lake Baikal. The altitude of Lake Baikal is about 500 meters. There are 1,850 species of animals and 850 species of plants living in Lake Baikal, many of which are endemic here.

Siberia’s severe cold itself is also famous. Sometimes the cold reaches minus 40 or 50 degrees Celsius. And minus 25-30 degrees Celsius doesn't attract the attention of local residents at all. This is a common temperature in winter. Summer in southern Siberia is very hot, with temperatures reaching 30 degrees Celsius. Swimming is possible, although the water is often a bit cold: even in July the water temperature only reaches 17-18 degrees. There are many artificial "sea" here - the reservoirs of numerous hydropower stations. Southern Siberia is home to some large cities - Omsk, Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk and Irkutsk.

The main attraction of Krasnoyarsk Territory is the Sayan Pillar Group, a unique nature reserve in the Eastern Sayan Mountains. The sudden rise of rocks formed 80 groups of cliffs with a height of 100 meters. Some cliffs have names consistent with their shapes: old man, peasant woman, golden eagle, feather, castle, etc. This is a favorite place for mountaineering and rock climbing enthusiasts. The fascinating water tour starts in Krasnoyarsk and goes down the Yenisey River to the far north, to Dudinka and Dixon.

Tuvans, Yakuts, Buryats. For example, there are only 80,000 people in Khakassia and less than 200,000 in Tuva. The people of these ethnic groups have unique ventriloquism arts. The performers don't sing the words, they just use their throats to make sounds that sometimes sound like a band playing, sometimes like the tapping of hooves, sometimes like the howls of hundreds of wild animals. They learn this art from childhood, but far from everyone can learn it. Interestingly, the ventriloquists were only men.

Buryatia is located southeast of Lake Baikal and is the Buddhist center of Russia. There are more than thirty Buddhist monasteries - lamasery here. Like all steppe nomads, the Buryats have always loved horses. Horse owners always remember what each horse "looks like". Friendly horses are the main characters of many legends and stories. Mare’s milk – Mare’s milk is highly regarded for its medicinal properties.

The adjacent Tuva *** and state-owned monument mark the center of Asia. The roads here are few and difficult, but the magical natural environment attracts tourists.

Relatively recently, another way of traveling has emerged in Russia - Arctic tourism. Take a helicopter from Moscow to the Spitsbergen Islands, and then take a helicopter to an ice tent camp near the North Pole. Here tourists will spend a few days, but they will not be lonely: riding on a dog sled, running on a ski machine, hiking along ice floes, floating in a balloon over the white and silent land. There is even a polar sauna and recreational equipment in the camp. As soon as the weather is suitable, he will take a helicopter and sprint to the geographical pole with coordinates of 90'00'' 00'00''. Happy tourists can call their relatives and friends through satellite phones and happily take photos at the northernmost point of the earth.

Siberian tiger

The Siberian tiger is the largest cat in the world. It originated in Northeast Asia and once spread from Siberia, Russia to South Korea. It has a history of 3 million years of evolution. In our country The territory is also known as Siberian tiger. Despite its huge size and amazing strength, the wild Siberian tiger is still on the verge of extinction, and the survival of this rare species hangs by a thread.

An adult Siberian tiger is more than 1.6 meters long, up to 3.9 meters long, weighs 320 kilograms, has thick and powerful limbs, and a tail up to 1 meter long. Its coat color is bright, with light yellow back and sides, white belly, and black stripes all over the body. The black horizontal stripes on the forehead are slightly connected in the middle, resembling the character "王". In summer, due to long sunshine hours, the coat will become shorter and darker. In winter, the hair becomes longer and lighter in color, turning light yellow.
