Kazanskaya Tserkov'

就爱瞎溜达～

Russian architectural aesthetics This is a free attraction and you don't need to make an appointment to take pictures, but don't take pictures of people who are praying. On the one hand, it is impolite. On the other hand, some are doing confessions. The locals think this will make confessions useless. The tourists can visit quietly.

Olkhon Island

It is worth going, especially the ice cave icicle blue ice, and the sunrise and sunset of shaman rock, the sky is transparent, the sun maps on the ice, like a dream, especially like a fairyland

Khuzhir

clara 🌝

It took six hours from Irkutsk Airport to finally land on the island. Huzhir Village is the largest village on the island. The most famous shaman rock is walking in the village behind the village. Behind it is the smoke in the sunset, and in front of it is the ice surface and the snowy mountains to feel the Russian dream nuclear like entering the childhood diy mini wooden house.

Lake Baikal

Lavender and Sun

Surrounded by metamorphic, sedimentary and igneous rocks, the shores of Lake Baikal are pulled away from each other at a rate of two centimeters per year. Lake Baikal has many typical characteristics of the ocean - unfathomable depth, huge reservoir capacity, undercurrents, tides, strong storms, big waves, ever-increasing rift valleys, geomagnetic anomalies, etc. The Baikal Depression is asymmetrical, with the western slopes being steeper than the eastern ones.

Kamen' Cherskogo

Daemon_Helen

Located in the small town of Listevyanka, take the cable car (return ticket is required) straight up to the observation deck of the top of Cherki, and walk to the cliff to see Lake Baikal. This is a ski resort in winter.

Tal'tsy

燃烧生命的小胖妞

The Talits open-air wooden folk museum is close to Irkutsk, and almost all of the buildings in the museum are made of original wood, simple and mellow, vividly recreated the scenes of Russian and indigenous people living and living around the eighteenth century. The museum is open-air, with ancient Russian houses relocated from nearby places, as well as winter churches, summer churches, shops, and traditional wells, waterwheels, and windmills for grinding flour, like a Russian town recreated hundreds of years ago Same.
