Just returned from a trip to Tear Island, the beauty here is simply indescribable in words. The sea is crystal clear, the beach is soft and delicate, and every time the waves lightly beat the shore, it seems that nature is whispering. The rich natural ecology on the island is refreshing, and every breath feels purified. Whether traveling alone or traveling with family and friends, Tear Island is a rare resort. Very recommended to friends who like natural scenery!

Minsk (Minsk, Минск) is the capital of Belarus. It is located in eastern Europe, on the banks of the Svisloch River, a tributary of the upper reaches of the Dnieper River, and in the southern part of the Minsk Highlands in the Belarusian hills. It is the capital of the Republic of Belarus and the political, economic, scientific and cultural center. It is the headquarters of the Commonwealth of Independent States. It covers an area of 409.5 square kilometers and has a population of 1.98 million (2018). The residents mainly believe in Orthodox Christianity. The official languages are Belarusian and Russian. In the 14th century, Minsk belonged to the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and later to the Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania. In 1793, it was occupied by Russia again. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991, it returned to Belarus. The main attractions in Minsk include Belarusian State University, Victory Square, Island of Tears, Holy Spirit Cathedral, Forest Park, Hill of Glory, Museums, etc. On January 22, 2014, Minsk and Shenzhen, China became sister cities. In April 2020, Minsk was selected into the "2020 Global Summer Resort City List".

Tips: join the group tour and go around 2 in the afternoonReasons to Recommend: anyone with an interest in history would absolutely love this
The weapons and dolls on display were very realistic. They must have spent a lot of money on this. Luckily there was a group of what looked like middle and high school students on an extracurricular activity, so it was a bit lively.
The building was relatively new and clean.
