Glass beach
Glass beach is located along the coast of Ussuri Bay in the suburbs of Vladivostok. The small bay where it is situated means "Glass Bay" in Russian, and it is a highly recognizable beach view in the Russian Far East. During the Soviet era, this area was used to dump vodka bottles, beer bottles, and glass and ceramic waste. After dumping ceased, the waves of Ussuri Bay spent decades repeatedly crashing against and grinding the debris, polishing the sharp shards of glass into smooth, colorful "pebbles," which is how the beach got its name. Today, it has become a popular spot in Vladivostok.

Mys Tobizina is the "end of the world" cape in Vladivostok, located on Russky Island, and it is a great place for outdoor hiking. Here, regardless of the weather, you can encounter fascinating scenery. For diving enthusiasts, there are 15m-high cliffs from which they can jump and dive into the sea. Steep and rugged, this cliff-lined cape juts out from the east side of Novik Bay. The peninsula is named after Vice Admiral and Commander of the Port of Reval (the old name for Tallinn, the capital of Estonia), Ivan Romanovich Tobizin (1808–1878). Among its layered rock formations stands an old lighthouse. This place has only become widely known in recent years. In summer, many tourists are drawn here. Since it is only accessible on foot, it takes about an hour to reach.

The Golden Horn Bay is also a great place to visit and play. The bay is quite large. It is also a very beautiful natural area. The sea breeze feels very good and the lighthouse in the distance is also very eye-catching.

Glass Beach ~ A place where wine bottles were recycled during the Soviet era. The waste wine bottles were washed by the sea for many years and turned into crystal "pebbles"! The glass beach is not large, but it is very beautiful and shiny. It is one of the two attractions I like during my trip to Vladivostok. It was off-season when we went there, and there were basically no people on the beach. I saw a news report a while ago saying that Chinese tour groups picked up glass and took it away when they went to the glass beach. The locals were afraid that the glass beach would disappear, so they did not recommend Chinese tour groups to go there. There is still a difference between Russia and China. If this happened in China, the Chinese would put more broken wine bottles here to wash and attract more tourists, but foreigners would be different! But then again, when traveling abroad, you should still pay attention to your quality, respect local customs and habits, and be careful in what you say and do.

A place called the drug lighthouse
If the western end of the continent is Portugal's Cape Roca, then the eastern end of the continent is called right here.
The pebble beach without sand is also impressive.

This is a famous mountain in Vladivostok. Actually, the mountain is not very special. You have to take a very special train to get there. The process of getting on the train is very interesting. Of course, the scenery on the mountain is also very good.

The Monument to the Fighters of the Soviet Regime in the Far East was built to commemorate the February and October Revolutions of 1917. It stands in the central square of Vladivostok. It was built in 1961 and is the largest monument in the Far East. During the war, the commercial fleet was tasked with transporting supplies from the Allies. It encountered enemy ships and planes from time to time and had to engage in battle. A total of 25 merchant ships were sunk. In memory of these seafarers, an eternal flame is also burned in front of the monument.

We came to the most beautiful street in Vladivostok from the October Revolution Square.
Along the slowly rising street, the buildings on both sides are tall and European-style. There are some shopping malls, some municipal offices, and some historical buildings.
You don't need to look for it deliberately, just walk slowly on the street and experience the historical imprint here.

Очень красивое место,. Мыс Тобизина - это самая южная точка острова Русский. Когда сидишь на этих скалах и смотришь на море, то кажется, что оказался на краю земли.Если идти к мысу не по основной дороге, а по тропе, ведущей по самому краю нависающих над морем скал, будешь то и дело останавливаться, чтобы сделать ещё одну фотографию.Синее-синее море, скалы, буйство зелени - всё это впечатляет.
