Karelia. Edge of forests, rain, mosquitoes and wild tourists. And if the rain and the mosquitoes in the summer, the tourists all year round. They roam the taiga, paddle canoes on the rivers, climb the hills, fish in bright, cold lakes. In winter go into the snowy distance snowmobile and just ski. Under the howling blizzard huddle from the cold and photographed against the background of a wild and unique nature.

Nature is harsh, but – to his charming. Nature with the magic power of attraction. Gray mossy rocks, sunsets rastsvechennye white nights, beckoning to him again and again. And you want to experience the atmosphere of romance, adventure and the kind of adventure. I would like to once again smell the taiga fire, listening to the rustle of the waves on sunset, and after a difficult transition to admire the fiery flashes of the northern sky. In Karelia there is something to see.

Old chapel still intact and in abandoned villages tserkovushki, Village North, special. With its not repeatable life and orders. With houses forts. Where under one roof and house and yard. There are still pristine forests of mighty pine trees in three girth. But in the foamy stream more usual nimble trout and grayling. On the shores of lakes and in old quarries lots of different minerals. And from springs flowing silvery ice water. And just like millions of years ago, in silence, contemplating the vicinity of the granite rocks. Rocks are three billion years. But most importantly, an opportunity be alone with nature. Feel like a man, a part of the body, which is inextricably linked with the outside world. World of harmony and order. World of nature. And probably why they come back for more. They – the people dream. And just – the tourists.

 

Article taken from my blog about China. Park is extensive. Throughout its territory, built of ice shapes and palaces. But it is certainly not a 'world of ice and fire', which is built on the Island of the sun. Here the scale is smaller.

There are many hills and ice structures, which can climb up and ride. There are different shapes: the machine, a bell, animals, cartoon characters. There is a hill for sledging. But to them to wait, to stand in line. But she had a very small hill. At night time the backlight, and the figures shimmer red, blue and green hues. The entrance fee was 100 yuan (about 500 rubles.) Per person.

I was warned that I left, because with a foreigner could take longer. For me the ticket bought a Chinese man. Actually, I really liked the park. However, there was very cold. But interest has won the cold. I went through all the slides. For all it took about 2 hours. I hope that in the future be able to visit the island of the sun with his 'World of Ice and Fire'. By day I was not able to visit the park, I came here in the evening. And he also has not regretted. Everything was very beautiful and mysterious. Park is big. Ice pieces and palaces takes whole it's territory. But it's, of course, is not 'World of ice and fire' at Sun Island. It's rather smaller. There are a lot of ice coasts and buildings. You can reach it and ride. There are different figures and buildings: cars, bell, animals, cartoon heroes. There is an sled hill. But you need to wait to ride it. And this hill is small. In the nighttime turns light. And everything shimmering in red, blue and green shade. Payment was 100 Y (about 15 $) for one person. I was told to step away because they can get additional payment from foreign people. Chinese people bought a ticket for me.
