03 Nov
1. Moscow
Stay
About the destination: Moscow, the political, historical and economic capital of Russia, displays the country's most extreme contrasts. The old and the modern come together perfectly in this city of 10 million people. The Russian capital is today a dazzling metropolis whose sheer grandeur never fails to amaze. Take the metro from one of the ornate stations to get close to the city’s main attractions that are a symbol of the great and terrible past of the city. The remains of the Soviet state are scattered all around the city. Monuments remember fallen heroes and victorious battles, while museums attempt to analyse and synthesise the past. See Lenin and Stalin – off their pedestals – at the whimsical Art Muzeon. Step into the Socialist Realist fantasy at VDNKh. Descend into the depths of the Soviet system at Bunker-42 Cold War Museum. And remember the millions who suffered at the Gulag History Museum. Nowadays, many fun or clever retro clubs and cafes give their guests a taste of the Soviet experience. The very founding site of the city (and arguably, the country), the Kremlin and Red Square are still at the heart of Moscow – historically, geographically and spiritually. Among the city’s most recognisable sights are the almost cartoon-like onion domes of St Basil’s Cathedral that tower above Red Square, UNESCO gems that were built between the 14th and 17th centuries. Modern-day Moscow defies its grey Soviet past and has developed a hedonistic atmosphere and the sense that great things are once again happening here. Shopping for designer labels at frighteningly expensive boutiques has become a national sport, but Moscow is regarded as one of the world’s most culturally sophisticated capitals, with world-class institutions like the Bolshoi Theatre, the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory and the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts. The city is also proud of its great writers, playwrights, composers, choreographers, and film-makers. Glitzy, historical and screaming hedonism, Moscow is truly beguiling.

2. Irkutsk
Stay
About the destination: Irkutsk is the capital of the Russian province of Irkutsk Oblast in Eastern Siberia. With Lake Baikal a mere 70km away, the city is the best base from which to strike out for the western shoreline. The center of the city of Irkutsk is full of wooden houses with typical decorative carvings on the walls and window frames. Most of the buildings of this kind were destroyed in Moscow and other big cities during the industrialization of the 20th century, so it’s a rare opportunity to see what a Russian city would look like if it stayed the way it was back in the days. Irkutsk is considered to be one of the most beautiful cities of Siberia. Ancient buildings remained in the center of the city: merchant Sibiryakov’s house with a monument to Alexander III opposite to it, governor general residence, Trapeznikov’s house and other ancient buildings. Other survived buildings are: Spasskaya church, Bogoyavlensky Cathedral, Krestovozdvizhenskaya church, Polish church, synagogue and Tatar mosque. Irkutsk is a point of interest for tourists with its numerous museums and old architecture. The Taltsy Museum, located on the Angara 47 km South of Irkutsk, is an open-air museum of Siberian traditional architecture. Numerous old wooden buildings from villages in the Angara valley, which have been flooded after the construction of the Bratsk Dam and Ust-Ilimsk Dam, have been transported to the museum and reassembled there.

Mongolia proclaimed its independence in 1911, and when the city was named capital of the country in 1924, its name changed to Ulaanbaatar, which means 'red hero' in the Mongolian language, in honor of the Mongolian national hero Sukhbaatar, who liberated Mongolia from the troops Of Ungern von Sternberg (one of those personages that could only exist in that remote time. He was an Austrian military man, who went to the Russian side, where he fought with the white Russian army, that is, the faithful to the tsarist side during the Russian revolution, then conquered Mongolia, expelling the Chinese, to be a private warlord And end up being handed over by his own men to the Russian Red Army, his cruelty and bad milk were widely known) and Chinese rule, fighting in the Soviet Red Army. Its statue adorns the main square of Ulan Bator. Ulaanbaatar has not seen war-related destruction, except in 1921, when the Battle of Urga in which Baron Ungern von Sternberg defeated the 10,000 Chinese garrison men (who had occupied Urga without a battle).

5. ハルホリン
から滞在
行き先について: モンゴルの中心部に位置するモンゴル帝国の古都ハルホリンへようこそ。この名高い街は、モンゴルの草原を背景にした歴史と文化の宝庫です。かつてはカラコルムとして知られ、チンギス・ハーンとその後継者の統治時代に権力の中心地となり、今日でもモンゴルの過去の豊かなタペストリーに興味のある旅行者にとって不可欠な目的地となっています。 モンゴルに現存する最古の仏教僧院と言われている伝説のエルデネ・ズー僧院から旅を始めましょう。108の仏塔で飾られた巨大な壁に囲まれ、古代都市の遺跡の上に立っています。僧院の複合施設は、モンゴルの人々の宗教的献身と建築の創意工夫の証であり、いくつかの寺院があり、それぞれがタンカの絵画、彫刻、黄金の仏像などの宗教芸術や工芸品でいっぱいです。 エルデネ・ズーの敷地を散策すると、歴史の足跡をたどることになります。男根の岩、またはハルホリン岩は少し離れたところにあり、僧侶が独身の誓いを破るのを思いとどまらせることを目的とした地元の伝統へのユニークな洞察を提供します。近くにあるタートルロックは、13世紀の都市に直接つながっている数少ない遺跡の1つであり、街の境界を示す石の目印として機能しています。 ハルホリンをさらに足を踏み入れると、モンゴル帝国とその後の時代の遺物の魅力的なコレクションが展示されているハルホリン博物館を訪れることができます。この博物館は、カラコルムの興亡の背景を説明し、シルクロードにおけるカラコルムの戦略的重要性と、帝国の首都が現在の北京に移転した後の最終的な衰退を詳述しています。博物館の外では、賑やかな市場で地元の文化に浸り、フレンドリーな地元の人々と交流したり、モンゴルの伝統工芸品を拾ったり、郷土料理を試食したりできます。ハルホリンへの旅は、単なる都市への訪問ではなく、モンゴルの大群が世界の歴史を形作った時代にタイムスリップする旅であることを忘れないでください。
