They were once Chinese territory. The rooms on both sides were filled with Russian soldiers, and soon Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were chatting together. The language was of course translated by mobile phone, gestures and drawings. They were returning from the Sino-Russian joint military exercise in Vladivostok. He showed Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo the performance video recorded on his mobile phone.
A familiar tune sounded, "Today is a good day..." Russian soldiers brought cans of military beef stew with potatoes and "Salo", which Yunluo missed so much during this trip and is known as the quintessence of Eastern Europe! Pickled raw pork, Yunluo ate a piece on the train, and looked for it everywhere after getting off the train, until he found it at the village market in Suzdal.
Finally, they risked being discovered by customs and secretly brought a bunch of them back to China. The soldiers were too enthusiastic, so Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo had to give them the Mid-Autumn Festival mooncakes they were going to eat in the Arctic. They called Heilongjiang the Amur River. The first one was seen during the day.
Day 3: Khabarovsk > Chita > Siberia Khabarovsk-Chita-Siberia Day 3 route: Khabarovsk to Chita, Chita is the capital of East Siberia, Russia, so the train officially entered Siberia on this day. If the scenery of the previous day was the primeval forest of Daxingling, today it is the river.
The scenery on the Trans-Siberian Railway is different every day. This day, the railway runs along the Heilongjiang River and its tributaries. North Asia in late autumn is so colorful. Facing such beautiful scenery, the Russian soldiers are probably very proud and volunteer to serve as observers for Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo. The three of them take turns to help Yunluo watch the scenery on one side.
Whenever there was a beautiful view, they would rush to Yunluo's room and call her. By the afternoon, Yunluo was already tired of the beauty and wanted to take a nap. But they kept knocking on the door tirelessly. But Yunluo didn't know how to say "successfully complete the mission and disband on the spot" in Russian! So sad!
Day 4: Chita to Zima We will pass by the world's deepest lake, Lake Baikal, the largest lake in Asia. Today we entered a densely populated area, and villages appeared beside the railway. The small villages in the morning light were also very beautiful. Local vendors appeared on the platform. Don't worry about the language barrier, just point to what you want to buy and put all the change in your palm.
Let the vendor take it himself. Russians don't bargain and won't cheat foreigners. Soldiers are in good health. Because I missed the time difference, it was already night when I arrived at Lake Baikal. I didn't see the legendary 6-hour railway along the lake. So Lake Baikal became Yunluo's reason to go to Siberia again.

Today, it looks like fertile black soil. Two Russians moved into Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's room. At first, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were quite scared, after all, they were two strong men. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo asked the soldiers next door to take care of Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo.
Every half an hour, the soldiers would stick out a hand and a head, with professional thumbs up and sharp eyes. They repeatedly confirmed the safety of Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo. The big-armed guy who slept on the upper bunk of Yunluo was called Nikolai. Maybe Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were too suspicious. They were a group of armed security guards at the Sukhoilok Gold Mine, the largest gold mine in Russia.
Their home is in Altai, formerly known as Tanglu Uriankhai in China. They haven't been home for half a year. It takes three days to get from their mining area to Novosibirsk by bus, and then get off in Omsk tomorrow morning and take another two days by bus to get to their home. They sent Yunluo the photos of their gold mine on their mobile phone. This big-armed guy used to be a mercenary.
Day 6 Novosibirsk - Tyumen Tyumen Oilfields is a group of oil fields in the Middle Ob River Basin northeast of Tyumen in the West Siberian Basin of Russia. It is actually an oil region, the world's second largest super oil and gas region after the Middle East, and the third largest oil field in Russia.
The first oil field was discovered in this oil region in 1961. In the following 10 years, a series of large oil fields were discovered. More than ten large oil fields (with proven recoverable reserves exceeding 100 million tons) have been discovered. The total proven recoverable reserves exceed 7 billion tons, making it one of the few super oil fields in the world.
Chelsea owner Abramovich's Siberian Oil Company owns several oil fields here. The train enters the Altai Mountains. A landscape similar to that of northern Xinjiang begins to emerge. This is deeper into the Altai Mountains than Kanas. The sign of the Russian Railways at Omsk Station.
Day 7: Tyumen>Kostroma Tyumen-Yekaterinburg-Kostroma Day 7: Tyumen-Kostroma Today is actually a savanna landscape In Yekaterinburg, the soldiers are getting off the bus. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo took a photo together and left their contact information.
With their care along the way, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were much safer. Even Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's beautiful train attendant was reluctant to leave. Along the way, these soldiers helped them fetch water, burn coal, chat with them, and also created a touching love story. Guess who are the two protagonists?
Day 8: Tyumen>Moscow Tyumen-Murmansk-Moscow Day 8 Tyumen-Moscow The morning of this day is beautiful. This is how Yunluo took these seven days. This is the only window in the room that can be opened. The Ukrainian drunkard in the carriage kept persuading Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo to drink at the beginning. I thought he was a bad guy.
As a result, one is a train driver. The other is a newspaper reporter. Getting off the train, only two pairs of beautiful eyes are left. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo are the beautiful train attendants in the carriage. Arrived at the Yaroslavl Railway Station in Moscow. Moscow has N airports, and the airport to Utair is called Vnukovo.
Take the Airport Express at Moscow Kiev Railway Station. There are many train stations in Moscow, and the names are easy to remember. The train station to the place is named after the train station. For example, the train to St. Petersburg is unified at Moscow St. Petersburg Railway Station, and the train to Kazan is called Kazan Railway Station. The train to Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, is called Kiev Railway Station.
There are also Belarus Station, Yaroslavl Station, Ladoga Station, etc. Murmansk, the capital of Murmansk Oblast, Russia, is the largest port city on the Arctic Ocean coast. It is located in the northeast of Kola Peninsula and faces the Kola Bay of the Barents Sea. Due to the influence of the North Atlantic warm current, although it is located at 69 degrees north latitude.
It is ice-free all year round. It is called the "ice-free port". In the southwest of the city, there is a sign tower with the words "68 degrees 58 minutes north latitude, 33 degrees 03 minutes east longitude" written on it. This indicates that the city has penetrated more than 300 kilometers into the Arctic Circle and is a genuine Arctic port city. Murmansk has a long night for one and a half months a year.
There are two months of long days. Every year from December 2 to January 18 of the following year, the sun sinks below the horizon, and the North Star hangs almost vertically in the sky. In the two months before and after the summer solstice, the sun does not set all day, shining in the sky over and over again.
As we all know, Murmansk Port is a natural harbor. The Kola River Bay extends for dozens of kilometers, flows into the Barents Sea and directly connects to the Arctic Ocean. It is an important gateway for Russia to the Arctic region. Murmansk is one of the largest military ports in Russia and even in the world. During World War II.
Murmansk played an important role. Various materials from the Allied countries were continuously transported to all parts of the Soviet Union through here. 4 million tons of military materials were transported to the Soviet Union through this port, accounting for 1/4 of the aid materials from the United States and Britain to the Soviet Union, which effectively supported the Soviet Union's Patriotic War.
In order to commemorate the victory of this great war, people built a monument to heroes and martyrs dozens of meters high on the hill of the Kola River Bay. The locals affectionately called it "Alyosha of Murmansk". In order to commend the heroic struggle and tenacity of the people of Murmansk, the Soviet People's Government awarded the city the glorious title of "Hero City" in 1985.
Alyosha is the highest point in Murmansk, overlooking the entire city. It is the largest fishing port in Russia and the largest commercial port in the north. It is the forward base of the Arctic Ocean Research Station and the rear base of the northern islands. Murmansk is also known as the "Capital of the Arctic".
But at the end of September, it was very hot here. The temperature reached 30 degrees that day, which was the hottest day for Yunluo in Russia. In Russia for 23 days, I didn't see any snow in Siberia and the Arctic Circle, which are known as the coldest. Murmansk is a city surrounded by lakes and autumn colors. This is the benefit of following Yunluo's Weibo.
I sent a postcard to a friend who sent me the address in the Arctic. PS: I have successfully seduced two Russian girls with my personal charm and wrote blessings to everyone. I changed the ticket at the ticket exchange machine at Murmansk Railway Station.
Day 10: Arrival in St. Petersburg > Kazan Cathedral The purpose of St. Petersburg-Kazan Cathedral to Murmansk is actually for this section of railway, which will pass through the famous Northern European Thousand Lakes Region and Europe's largest lake, Lake Ladoga. The train has been passing through the lake and the weather is bad.
It's miserable. A little sunshine will make for a beautiful photo. The train arrives at Ladoga Railway Station in St. Petersburg. Coming out of the subway, it was a rainy night in St. Petersburg to greet Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo. The hotel has a good location. It's just opposite the Kazan Cathedral. In fact, it can't be called a hotel at all, it's a youth hostel.
The hostel has a shared kitchen, which is super convenient. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo can go to the supermarket to buy semi-finished products and process them. The free tea and drinks are very bad. It's actually blue sky, white sun and red ground. I got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet and was scared to pee. There is actually a doorman in the toilet.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
St. Petersburg is the second largest political and economic center in Russia. It is also the central city of the northwest region of Russia and an important water and land transportation hub in Russia. Formerly known as "Leningrad", this historic city was built by Peter the Great in 1703 and named after the Orthodox Saint Peter, hence the name St. Petersburg.
It was the capital of Russia from 1712 to 1918, hence the name "Northern Capital". Peter the Great founded the city, and Empress Elizabeth invited first-class architects and craftsmen from Italy to build the Hermitage Museum, Smolny Cathedral and the magnificent palaces in Tsarskoye Selo.
Catherine the Great and Alexander I once vowed to turn St. Petersburg into the most beautiful capital in Europe. They asked the French to design the Academy of Arts, the British to design the Pavlovsk Palace, the Italians to design the Russian Museum and Theater, and Russian masters designed the Kazan Cathedral and the Admiralty for Alexander. Therefore, the architecture of St. Petersburg is world-famous.
St. Petersburg is a famous cultural city with more than 50 museums, known as the Museum City. The Winter Palace is the transliteration of the Hermitage Museum. Located on the Palace Square in St. Petersburg, it was originally the palace of the Russian Tsar. After the October Revolution, it was turned into a part of the St. Petersburg State Hermitage Museum.
It is an outstanding example of Russian Baroque architecture in the mid-18th century. The Hermitage is one of the four largest museums in the world, along with the British Museum in London, the Louvre in Paris, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The museum was originally a private museum of Empress Catherine II.
On November 7, 1917 (October 25 in the Russian calendar), the Bolsheviks led by Lenin and Trotsky captured the Winter Palace and declared the victory of the October Revolution. On that day, a national relay race was being held in front of the Winter Palace Square to celebrate the Sochi Winter Olympics.
At the Winter Palace, he was cordially received by President Putin's son, and the two sides had a heated and friendly discussion on the issue of Russia's return of the Far East. The ticket to the Winter Palace Museum is 350 rupees, and the camera costs another 200 rupees. The replica of Laocoön, Fatty Ye, is the Russian Wu Zetian.
In Russian history, only she can be compared with Peter the Great. During her reign, Russia's external expansion reached its peak. If Yunluo could live to be 200 years old, all of Europe would crawl at her feet. ——There are many teachers in the Catherine II Museum who explain things to primary school students, which makes Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo very envious.
The history and culture of a nation is passed down from generation to generation. Let's see if the postures of the two teachers are the best interpretation of "earnest teaching and patient guidance". The museum's collection is so vast that it is said that if you want to walk through all the 350 open exhibition halls of the Hermitage Museum, the journey is about 22 kilometers long.
It takes three years to stop in front of each collection for 10 seconds. The Statue of Nicholas II in the Hall Library, which consumed two tons of turquoise, is a collection of a large number of Chinese cultural relics and artworks, including more than 200 pieces of oracle bones from the Shang Dynasty, rare silk and embroidery from the 1st century AD, and samples of sculptures and murals from the Thousand Buddha Caves in Dunhuang.
As well as Chinese porcelain, enamel, lacquerware, landscapes and paintings of ladies. Including 3,000 Chinese New Year paintings of Dunhuang! Dunhuang was plundered by this guy. The Western European Art Museum was the first exhibition hall to be established, occupying 120 exhibition halls, mainly paintings, sketches and sculptures from the Renaissance. There are only ten oil paintings by Leonardo da Vinci that have been handed down to the world. (To be continued...)
