Kitay-Gorod Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The block northeast of Red Square is called "China Town" (Кита́й-го́род), which is generally believed to be a linguistic coincidence and has nothing to do with China. In this relatively old historical district, there are more than a dozen ancient churches and countless ancient buildings, and you will gain a lot by strolling in it. Nikolai Street (Нико́льскаяу́лица) between Kazan Cathedral and "Gum" department store has been converted into a pedestrian street, and you can go all the way to Lubyanka.

After visiting the Cemetery of the New Saint Lady, the local railway back to the hotel passes through the National Museum of History. So we got off the subway and came to see it, right next to Red Square. As soon as you enter the museum, you can see the dome portraits of the Grand Duke of Moscow and the Russian Czar. It's really spectacular.
Кита́й-го́род translated to Chinatown, it has nothing to do with China at all.
When I arrived, I was totally lost in Moscow, and almost lost in the cold Moscow streets. The street names were all Russian, but the hotel navigation map was English. I asked the first passer-by who was an Asian girl of unknown nationality, but took me to the opposite direction. After synthesizing the instructions of three local people, plus my super sense of direction and sixth sense, I went forward desperately, wandering for 30 minutes, and finally I was lucky to find only one. Hotels in the streets hundreds of meters away.
This is an old block with a long history in Moscow. Although it is called Chinatown, it does not seem to have much substantive relationship with China, just as many Chinese cities have streets called Beijing Road but have no half-money relationship with Beijing. There are still many old buildings in Chinese cities that can be appreciated slowly, among which you can feel the heavy sense of history.
