Things to do in Saint Petersburg

The Russian Navy Headquarters Building is worth visiting because of its unique exterior. This building was designed using both classical and Russian architecture.

The Hermitage Theatre is not a place that can be visited for free. You need to buy a ticket to enter during the performance time. There are many important plays performed here, including classic ballet plays. Many of the facilities in the theatre are also very good.

Traveling to Russia, this stop came to St. Petersburg. Peter the Great's Summer Palace is one of the famous attractions in St. Petersburg. The Summer Palace is divided into the Upper Garden and the Lower Garden, and the Grand Palace is in the Upper Garden. In front of the Grand Palace is a fountain group called the Great Cascade. In winter, the fountains and pools are closed. The fountain group has 37 golden statues, 29 submerged reliefs, 150 small statues, 64 fountains and 2 trapezoidal waterfalls. In the center of a large semicircular pool in the fountain group, stands a statue of the strongman Samson fighting a lion. This is the famous Lomson Fountain. Walk along the straight boulevard and you will reach the Gulf of Finland at the end.

This Russian circus is a national treasure. It is very interesting. Don't leave during the intermission. We almost thought it was over in an hour.

At the center of Palace Square stands the Alexander Column, designed and built in 1834, named after Tsar Alexander I, to commemorate Russia's great victory over Napoleon in 1812. This 47.5-meter-high, approximately 600-ton red granite column is the tallest of its kind in the world. Constructed from a single block of granite, it stands unsupported by its own weight on its base. At its top is an angel holding a cross, its feet resting on a serpent, a symbol of victory. Opposite the Winter Palace is the arched government building, formerly the General Staff of the Russian Army. Its center features a double triumphal arch, topped with a Roman chariot, also commemorating the victory over Napoleon.

俄罗斯西端的瓦西里岛上有两根灯塔柱子，像宫殿桥的开放拱门，位于圣彼得堡市中心，这两个灯塔就像圣以撒大教堂的圆顶或金钟的尖顶一样，象征着圣彼得堡。

The protruding tip of Vasilyevsky Island divides the island into two parts, forming the Big and Small Neva Rivers. The original seaport of this protruding tip was also called Long Beach. Now there are many old buildings in classical style on Long Beach.

We think this plalace is nice, charming and interesting. It has a variety room with diffrent style and many arts. The most interest is the bathroom at the 1st fl. It's worth for time and money.

This is a museum that is worth visiting. It scales down the important cities and buildings from west to east in Russia, making it look like a small country. The trains and cars are like real ones, stopping at red lights and going at green lights. This is very helpful for intuitively understanding the geographical environment of Russia.
