Introduction to Lake Baikal in Winter
Lake Baikal entered the frozen period in February of 65438+ and completely entered the frozen period at the end of 10, so February-March is the best season to visit Lake Baikal. It is necessary to pay attention to the climate every year, and the year of cold winter and warm winter will advance or postpone the freezing period, which will often make tourists who have not done a good job in raiders return in vain.
Most travelers will choose to visit Lake Baikal in the west, because Orhon Island in the south is the largest island with the most beautiful scenery and games. At the same time, there are all kinds of games in the surrounding towns, such as husky sledding, skating, riding ice motorcycles and even swimming in winter.
Route recommendation: Irkutsk-Listyanka-Orhon Island.
Irkutsk first flew to Irkutsk, known as the heart of Siberia. For travelers, Irkutsk is the only place to enter Lake Baikal and the transportation hub to Lake Baikal. Moreover, Irkutsk has won the favor of many travelers with its long history and culture. The retro churches and monasteries in the city center have taken photos with Russian style.
After getting off the plane, find a Russian restaurant and feel the eating concept of the fighting nation-super high-calorie food. It's best to try the Baikal white salmon, a specialty of Lake Baikal. The high calorie of local food is closely related to the local cold weather. If you come to Russia, do as the Romans do and feel the warmth of high-calorie food in your stomach.
The Cathedral of Our Lady of Kazan, the most magnificent Orthodox church, has become a frequent visitor in the traveler's lens with its eye-catching appearance. In winter, there will be ice sculptures standing outside the church, with colorful church shapes, which are very exotic.
Spaska Ya (Savior) Church is also the Russian Orthodox Church. The white wall and the green roof are very beautiful. Although the green head is a little emm in our culture ... the photos taken with snow on the church wall in winter will have a crisp aesthetic feeling.
Znamenski Monastery, a historic building, was built in 1762, and the top color is still green. It is said that there are the remains of Siberian missionaries in the monastery, which remain immortal for many years and are regarded as sacred objects by the Orthodox Church. Therefore, very orthodox believers came to Wan Li for a pilgrimage.
Listvyanka's second stop is Listvyanka Town, where Lake Baikal meets the Angolan River. Because of its long name, our people like to call it Lilei Town.
The town is not big, and the local residents only have a population of more than 2,000. The houses where residents live are all original ecological cabins, and the top will be covered with a thick layer of white snow, which will blend with the hills and jungles behind them, as if they have entered the fairy tale world ~
Strolling along Gorky Street, next to the frozen Lake Baikal, a vast expanse of snow is extremely shocking.
If it's not too late, you can consider participating in some ice entertainment projects. You can take a hovercraft to visit Lake Baikal and use the superb skills of the captain of the fighting nation to drift all the way to visit Lake Baikal.
Friends who love dogs can experience a trip to Lake Baikal, with ten cute sled dogs pulling you.
You can also drive a snowmobile between the town and Lake Baikal ~
You can also experience the lake holes dug by local people, dive into the ice and explore the mysterious underwater world. If the weather is fine, the sun will shine directly on the water surface, and the plants at the bottom of the lake can be clearly seen through the ice. Active shrimps and fish swim around you, and you can even see baby seals, which is like a dream ~
After landing, take off your diving equipment, put on warm winter clothes and take a sip of vodka from the fighting nation, and your whole body will recover quickly ~ It should be noted that diving is at least a junior diving certificate, otherwise you can't go into the water, and the diving certificate is at least OW or AOW.
Drink vodka and put ice cubes all over the lake.
When the sun is getting dark, you can find a cafe by the lake, order a cup of hot coffee and wait for the sunset in Lake Baikal. At about 6 pm, Hui Hui will make half the sky orange-red, and by the way, the white lake will be dyed red, sparkling and beautiful.
Orhong Island Orhong Island is the largest island in Lake Baikal, known as the heart of Lake Baikal, and is the best place to visit Lake Baikal. You can see the most beautiful and pure Lan Bing world here!
In summer, the means of transportation to the island is a big boat, and even cars can be carried on it. Ice age was a hovercraft. If it is a freezing period, you can drive there.
There are many scenic spots in Olkhon Island, which are divided into north and south lines, and each line takes one day. Tourists will choose to join a local tour group for a day trip.
The cars on the island are all distinctive magnetic tile cars, which look lovely outside, much like Volkswagen's Mini.
The bus is a four-wheel drive off-road bus made by the Ulyanovsk Automobile Factory in the former Soviet Union, which is used for island travel.
Attractions on the southern line: Wooden House Museum-Heart-shaped Lake-Baota Island-Ice Hanging Cave-Shilin-Ascending and Looking Far.
Scenic spots in the northern line: Lianshan-Three Brothers Stone-Love Mountain-Cape Haber-Harlands.
The most important thing, everyone should remember, oh, what are we doing in Lake Baikal? Lan Bing, of course. Because of the geographical location, the southern line is suitable for watching cracked ice and soaked ice, the northern line is suitable for watching pendant ice, and the ice in the northern line is also the bluest.
On the southern line, there are criss-crossing broken ice everywhere. Spider webs are generally densely covered on the ice. If you wrap it tightly enough, you will clearly hear the sound of ice cracking when you lie down or lie down, which is scary and exciting.
The bubble ice not far away is more lovely. A string of cute little bubbles are frozen in the lake, big and small, like stars, very beautiful. The formation of bubbles is due to methane released by plants at the bottom of the lake, which floats to the water surface but is blocked by the ice surface, forming a bubble spectacle.
The ice hanging on the northern line is domineering and amazing. Generally formed on the shore of a cave or an island in a lake. The reason is that the waves beat in the cave and condense into falling ice at the moment of depression. Even if the cave is covered with ice cones, visitors can go in and take pictures, because the background is too shocking and all the shots are very large, so be careful not to be hit by ice cones.
The whole Lake Baikal in Lan Bing can be seen, crystal clear and exceptionally bright, while the northern line looks bluer because there are fewer traces of human activities ~
