After returning from Arbat Street, Xia Yuxiang let everyone rest in the hotel for two days, and then discussed with Su Xiaoyu to take everyone to Moscow to inspect Sino-Russian cooperation projects in canal transportation, aviation and energy exports.

Nestled in a sea of greenery, Moscow is known as the "capital of the forest", with thousands of streets forming a giant spider web connecting the center of the city to its surroundings from the air. The wide and clear Moskva River flows gently from the south of the city, adding endless charm to this beautiful city.

Su Xiaoyu introduced to everyone: "Moscow is the largest transportation hub in Russia, there are 11 electrified railways and 14 roads leading to all directions. ”

"The city has nine passenger train stations, with about 2 million passengers coming in and out every day, and about 700 million passengers are picked up and dropped off throughout the year. The railway from Moscow can directly connect to Northern Europe, Central Europe, Southeast Europe and other countries. To the south is Iran, and to the east is Vladivostok via Siberia. ”

"Moscow is also well developed by water, the Moscow River flows through the city, there are 3 river ports. The Moscow Canal was dug to connect the Moscow River with the Volga River, and water traffic could reach the sea. In addition, a number of canals are connected to other river systems, especially after the opening of the Volga-Don canal, Moscow has become a port of five seas on the Baltic, White, Black, Azov and Caspian Seas, with an annual cargo volume of 29 million tons in the three river ports. ”

"Water transport is also very important, and a lot of goods are transported to countries around the world by water, not by land. ”

"Today, I'm going to take you to see the canals in Moscow, and then I'm going to take you to the airports in Moscow and see their aviation. ”

"Everyone is ready, let's go out!" said Head Xia Yuxiang.

"Okay, let's go to the Moskva River first!"

Half an hour later, the convoy came to the Moskva River, which was presented in front of everyone's eyes with a wide channel, the river water was rolling, rushing forward, the scenery was charming, the weather was very good, the blue sky and white clouds overhead, and the river water was flowing slowly under the feet.

"We took a yacht and I took you to see the charm of the Moskva River. ”

Everyone followed Su Xiaoyu to sit on the yacht, this is a medium-sized yacht, blue hull, there are two floors up and down, in order to see more clearly, Xia Yuxiang took the members of the delegation to sit on the second floor of the yacht, looking at the beautiful scenery, which is refreshing.

Su Xiaoyu continued to explain: "The Moskva River is the main river in the Moscow water transport channel, and the Moskva River is a secondary tributary of the Oka River, a tributary of the Volga River, and is the mother river of the city. It originates in the southwestern foothills of the Moscow hills, flows southeast in zigzags, passes through Moscow, and flows into the Oka River. It is 502 kilometers long, traverses the entire city of Moscow, flows through the urban part of about 80 kilometers, and the river is about 200 meters wide, and the widest part is 1 kilometer. ”

"The basin covers an area of 18,000 square kilometers. The average annual flow at the estuary is 109 cubic meters per second. In the north, the Moscow Canal connects the Volga River, which is navigable below the beginning of the canal, and there are many water conservancy hubs, which are of great significance to Moscow's water supply. There are many resorts along the coast. Although Moscow is landlocked, the Moscow Canal connects the Moskva River with the Volga River, allowing direct water traffic to the sea. ”

This wide river crosses the city, and many merchant ships come and go on the Moskva River, and the statue of Peter the Great can be seen in the distance.

Su Xiaoyu pointed to the statue not far away, turned his head and introduced to everyone: "This is the monument to Peter the Great, this is the famous 'Bronze Horseman' statue, the famous French sculptor Falcone made the most perfect masterpiece of his life here, it is 5 meters high and weighs 20 tons. The monument was unveiled on August 7, 1782, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Peter the Great's accession to the throne. ”

Qu Lihua looked in the direction of Su Xiaoyu's fingers, this monument came into view, very majestic, Peter the Great rode on a horse flying in the air, the horse body was very strong, the two front hooves were raised high, Peter the Great was wearing a black cloak and riding on the horse, his eyes were blazing, his eyes were firmly looking ahead, the hind hooves of the horse stepped on a poisonous snake, symbolizing the defeat of the enemy, this monument has a domineering momentum.

As the sculpture shows, Peter the Great overcame many obstacles and built the beautiful city of St. Petersburg in this swamp, and built the capital here, bringing backward, feudal, and poor Russia to the sea and prosperity.

"In one of his narrative poems, Pushkin referred to the monument as the 'Bronze Horseman', and since then the 'Bronze Horseman' has become synonymous with the monument to Peter the Great. ”

Further along, I saw more scenery, many merchant ships passed by the yacht, and the cheerful Russians would wave to each other, which made Qu Lihua feel that the Russians were enthusiastic and friendly to people.

The river flowed quietly through the side of the Kremlin, which made Qu Lihua recall the scene when Su Xiaoyu took everyone to visit the Kremlin on the first day of the delegation just getting off the plane and coming to Russia.

"Time flies really fast, our delegation has been in Moscow for a while, these days with the head of Xia and Mr. Su, it is really an eye-opener for us, we have seen a lot of beautiful scenery in Russia, and we also know some Russian customs. ”

Meng Wenjie said: "Yes, the opportunity to visit Russia is rare, I have always wanted to come to this neighboring country to have a look, busy with work, has not had the opportunity, this time is really a rare opportunity, we see this beautiful and busy mother river in Moscow has experienced a period of dirty, messy, smelly unfortunate years, Russians still attach great importance to environmental protection, and are also very experienced in sewage treatment, after treatment, now the Moscow River has been much better, the scenery is much more beautiful." ”
