It's not as shocking as I imagined, but as the number one attraction in St. Petersburg, I have to check it out. It's actually quite painful for people who don't know a little about Western art. I personally prefer the Ye Palace.
Gorgeous palace with plenty of art pieces and antiques. Very crowded in summer. Staffs are very kind and helpful.

After visiting the Winter Palace, Summer Palace and the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in St. Petersburg, the Kremlin seems nothing special. It is mainly a political office and has a certain special significance.
It is worth recommending here, but the self-funded project of 500 yuan can be tried, value for money, there are 3 churches inside to visit outside there are artillery kings and giant bells can also browse the Russian Parliament Building, Putin Office Building, National Military and Ring Bureau...

The actors performed with passion, the music was played by a live band, and the lights were gorgeous. The circus you and I watched at the Matryoshka Hotel was better. If you come to Moscow for a trip, it is worth seeing. It is very convenient to buy tickets on Ctrip. You can just scan the QR code when entering.
Very huge and exciting place. Located on Vernadskogo avenue close to the center of Moscow. There are many entertainments, animals, cafes.

Finally, I called it a day. How can you come to Moscow without visiting this place?
The red building is still very interesting. There are also many patrolling soldiers. It feels different.
It’s just too cold in winter and a bit deserted.
Red Square is located in the center of Moscow, Russia. It is a famous square in Russia. It is also the venue for major events in Moscow and one of the famous landmarks of Moscow. There are also St. Basil's Cathedral nearby.

World-class ballet show at night
Verified User Reviews
It is OK for foreigners to watch the dance. This ballet "The Flames of Paris" is grand, colorful and sensory. It lasts about two and a half hours, with a break of more than 20 minutes in the middle. You are not allowed to take photos during the performance, except when the actors take their bows at the end. I bought a third-class seat on Ctrip, but it was actually a first-class seat. Of course, the ticket booking fee is very expensive.
Bolshoi Theatre: A Timeless SpectacleAttending a performance of "The Nutcracker" at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow was a truly magical experience. The grandeur of the historic venue combined with the exquisite ballet performance created an unforgettable evening. From the elegant choreography to the stunning set design, every aspect of the production was executed with perfection. The timeless tale of "The Nutcracker" came to life on stage, captivating the audience with its beauty and grace. A visit to the Bolshoi Theatre for this iconic performance is a must for anyone seeking enchantment and culture in Moscow.

Founded by Peter the Great in 1703, the fortress features impressive architecture and well-preserved structures, including the stunning Peter and Paul Cathedral with its iconic golden spire.

The picturesque views of the Neva River from the fortress add to its charm, making it a perfect spot for photography. Overall, a visit to Peter and Paul Fortress is an enriching experience that combines history, culture, and stunning scenery in one remarkable location.
The Peter and Paul Fortress is located on the right bank of the Neva River in the center of St. Petersburg. It is a famous ancient building in St. Petersburg.

The price is the same as going to the scene, 1500🦌, the lighting is very shocking, there are all kinds of costumes, and the scene effect is really Russian style. It is a must-visit place with children. You can also go with family and friends to experience the local style
It is the best circus in Russia. Whether it is the funny clowns or the difficult acrobatics, they are all amazing! The auditorium is much smaller than the theater, but the view is clearer. Of course, the seat booked by Ctrip is very biased, facing the host's buttocks, but the circus is not like the opera or dance drama, because the front and back are very different, because they are all active. It is said that the repertoire is newer than that of the National Theater. I was half an hour late but still felt very satisfied. To secretly record the video, I had to wait until the light was dark, otherwise there would be aunties using flashlights to take pictures. In addition, it was later than the National Theater, so I could go to see it after a day's schedule.

Alyosha, who received us, was a talented graduate of Moscow University. He was elegant, down-to-earth and hardworking, which left a good impression on us.
In Russia, universal university is not an empty talk, unlike in our country, where it is said to people, no matter how poor you are, you cannot be poor in education. When you need to allocate money, you have no money, and when you need to buy a car, you have all the money you need.
In Russia, the cultural atmosphere is very strong. Street painters kowtow and bump heads. There are museums and bookstores everywhere. Books that cannot be bought in China may be bought in Moscow.
Despite the political changes, Lenin's tomb is still open. The heroic warriors stand motionless on both sides of the gate. Lenin lies quietly in the crystal coffin. He puts his hands on his abdomen and closes his eyes. He may still be thinking about who is better as his successor.
I secretly told him that there is no need to worry about it. All arrangements are useless. All constants are determined by history. No one can change history. How can the successor be arranged? Humans, such advanced animals, cannot be dealt with by anyone.
The Moscow River is a left-bank tributary of the Oka River in western Russia. It is located in the Volga River Basin. It originates from the Smolensk-Moscow Upland, is 502 kilometers (312 miles) long, and has a drainage area of 17,600 square kilometers (6,800 square miles). It is an important water source for the city of Moscow.
