Khabarovsk Favorites

Favorite thing: Since Habarovsk's foundation there was Uspensky Cathedral here. But it was destroyed in 1930 and was built this new cathedral, in 2000-2002. Inside there is just iconostasis, I mean the walls haven’t painting as in many churches in the European part of Russia.

Favorite thing: The waterfront walk to the north is a really pleasant way how to spend a nice sunny afternoon. On southern end, you will find stalls and cafes under tents, a beach for sunbathing and you can walk up to 2km one way.

With a little imagination, you could think you are at the sea shore...

Fondest memory: Visiting a market hall was such a wonderful experience (once again)! The vendors were all so friendly and I had such a great time trying to find out, what they were selling!!! My all time favourite of Siberia is salad made of fern tips - and they had it right there!!!

Favorite thing: Muraviev Amursky street is the central street of the city. As in any city such street has a lot of restaurants, cafes, shops, cinemas and etc and etc. The street is beginning near of AmurRiver, in Sobornaya Square, and in the end it comes to Lenin square.

Favorite thing: Hristorozhdestvensky Cathedral (Cathedral of Birth of the Lord) is situated in Leningradskaya Street, in several steps from railway station. Unfortunately I couldn't find any information about when it was built. Inside there is very interesting iconostasis.

Favorite thing: In Karl Marx Street the exibition hall is situated (just opposite concert hall). Here you can see the modern art paintings as well as you can buy it right here (prices are varied but most of them are near of 15000-25000 roubles). The entrance fee to the hall is RUR 20 (EUR 0.6).

Favorite thing: Another interesting museum in the city is Fine Arts Museum. It is situated in the same Shevchenko Street, near of the museum of Habarovsk region. The entrance fee is RUR 50 (Eur 1.5). There are 2 floors, one with classical paintings, here is some interesting ones of Shishkin, Kuindji, Steen and some others. The second floor is for cloths and other hands-made of local nationalities.

Favorite thing: The museum is situated in Shevchenko Street. It has very interesting exhibitions and I insistently recomend you to see it. There is a hall about fauna world (although there are many stuffed animals and birds and I've never seen so many dead animals in one place). Besides you may get to know traditions of nationalities who live here long-long time. Moreover there is very interesting materials about history of the region. The entrance fee is RUR 100 (EUR 3), and RUR 150 for making photos.
