    It is definitely worth visiting, especially the ice cave, icicles, blue ice, and the sunrise and sunset at Shaman Rock. The sky is transparent, and the sun is reflected on the ice, which is like a dream, just like a fairyland.

    Russian architectural aesthetics This is a free attraction and no reservation is required You can take photos, but don't take photos of people who are praying. On the one hand, it is impolite On the other hand, some people are doing confession. Locals believe that this will make confession ineffective. Tourists can just visit quietly.
