Russian Far Eastand Vladivostok

El Lejano Oriente es la parte más oriental de Rusia. La macrorregión limita con dos océanos, el Pacífico y el Ártico, y cinco países (China, Japón, Mongolia, Estados Unidos y la RPDC). El Distrito Federal del Lejano Oriente cubre más de un tercio del territorio del país. La región del Lejano Oriente se extiende por cuatro husos horarios y varias zonas climáticas: desde los desiertos del norte hasta los subtrópicos.

El clima en el norte de la región, más allá del Círculo Polar Ártico, es extremadamente duro. En la parte sur del Lejano Oriente prevalece un clima tipo monzón con inviernos fríos y veranos cálidos y húmedos. Este contraste se debe a la enorme extensión del territorio, casi 4500 km de norte a sur y 3000 km de oeste a este.

La región alberga especies raras de animales y peces. Los habitantes más famosos de la zona son las morsas, los osos polares y pardos, los tigres y leopardos de Amur, los gansos polares y las grullas de nuca blanca. Cincuenta reservas naturales estatales y parques nacionales se encuentran repartidas por toda la región.

Vladivostok es la capital no oficial del Lejano Oriente ruso y uno de los puertos comerciales y bases navales más importantes de Rusia. Vladivostok ("Domina el Este") es también una ciudad completamente encantadora, con un entorno hermoso y montañoso, una arquitectura sorprendente y numerosas islas verdes y bahías arenosas a lo largo de la costa del Pacífico. La más notable de ellas es la Bahía del Cuerno de Oro (llamada así por su semejanza con la de Estambul), sobre la que ahora se eleva un enorme puente colgante, uno de los dos construidos en los últimos años que han mejorado enormemente la pesada infraestructura de la era soviética de la ciudad.
El resto de Rusia también parece estar tomando en cuenta la potencial de Vladivostok. En 2016, el Teatro Mariinsky de San Petersburgo inauguró su impresionante Escenario Primorsky de vidrio y acero, mientras que el Hermitage Vladivostok está programado para abrir. Vladivostok está repleto de bares de cócteles, excelentes restaurantes y un renovado sentido del propósito. No se pierda la ciudad más dinámica y acelerada del Lejano Oriente.

This is the busiest shopping arcade in the Gold Ring towns and the best place to buy “Suzdalskaya Medovukha”, an ancient Russian drink made of honey, water and yeast which appeared well ahead of vodka. And do not forget to look into the “Baker’s Nest”, a place of real Suzdal bread with wild yeast leaven, rye and white bread, pot-bellied loaves and crispy baguettes, crumbly croissants and twisted pretzels.

Trinity St. Sergius Monastery

Unique architectural ensemble of the Monastery includes churches and cathedrals dating back to XV – XVII centuries.  On the tour we will visit:

In ancient Russian cities and towns it was a tradition to erect the main cathedrals in honour of the assumption of the blessed virgin. This one resembles the Assumption Cathedral of the Moscow Kremlin. The monastery cathedral repeats the general composition of the five-domed temple, exceeding the size of the one in Moscow Kremlin. The interior space of the Monastery Cathedral amazes with its majestic size and richness of light.
  2. the Church of the Spirit (1476-1477) – the Church in honour of the Descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles. The Church of the Spirit was built in those years when the best Russian and European architects worked in Moscow at the grand ducal court. That is why all new techniques and details were used in the construction and decoration of the temple.
  3. the Church of St. Sergius with the Refectory Chamber (1686-1692). The Refectory Church, one of the largest and most beautiful in the Monastery’s architectural ensemble, appears as a beautiful palace because of abundance of outdoor attire. The interior decoration is also colourful and solemn.
