Chapter 225: Underground Palace
"I'm Yelena, and you're welcome to our Fighting Nation!"
SC Johnson looks at a beautiful Russian girl as beautiful as a doll, with wavy blonde hair, sapphire eyes, milk-like silky skin, hemispherical breasts, and long legs like a compass.
Leaving Dubai, the trip to Asia is over, and other small countries don't go. Called Song Qiao and arranged a local beauty tour guide in Moscow, I had long heard that the oceanic horses of the fighting nation had a unique style to ride.
Stay at the National Luxury Hotel, next door to the Kremlin and only 200 meters from Red Square, settle your luggage and go shopping.
Before they had walked a few steps, everyone was taken by Yelena to an underground passage marked with a huge M?
Johnson watched curiously as the girl took out a spider's web-like complex route map, and asked curiously: "This is the subway?"
Yelena smiled: "This M is the first letter of the Russian metro Метро. There are more than 200 metro stations in Moscow, each designed by well-known architects, with a unique style and different shape. In particular, the exquisite statues, reliefs, large chandeliers and stained glass, as well as mosaics......"
"It can be said to be a magnificent underground art palace!"
Johnson and Xia Long glanced at each other, smiled dumbly, and looked at the girl's serious expression, the fighting nation is also one of the world's powers, is it so shallow that he has never even seen the subway station?
"This ......"
Yelena naturally saw Johnson's disbelief, so without saying a word, she pulled down the stairs directly. No matter how stunned Johnson was by the scene in front of him, even Xia Long and Xia Hu were full of incredulity......
The Art Nouveau stainless steel arches give the metro station a sense of purity and freshness, and looking up at the dome is like being in a church.
On either side, there are 32 colorful window grilles, all of which are in a variety of bizarre plant shapes, six of which depict the lives of working people from all walks of life in an ideal communist world.
The pinnacle of Stalin's imperial architecture, magnificent, as beautiful and grand as a museum, really blinded Johnson's eyes!
"I didn't lie to you, did I?" Yelena revealed the unique coquettishness of a girl, deliberately turned around in front of Johnson, and said proudly with her long skirt: "Pretty or not?"
Johnson couldn't help but nodded, comparing the capital and the magic capital, it was simply ......
I can't bear to look at it!
Yelena pulled Johnson to a statue and excitedly said: "This is Mayakovsky Station, named after the revolutionary poet Mayakovsky." You look up at the 31 mosaics of the painter Jeyneka in the circle-like lights on the ceiling, a total of 31 ......"
"The next stop is Victory Square, which is 97 meters above the ground, and the escalator alone is 150 meters long, and it takes at least three minutes from start to finish......
"Every time I stand on it, I always have a sense of the future that has traveled back in time, and looking at the murals on the wall that record the two Great Patriotic Wars, I feel cool......"
When I got on the subway, I originally wanted to go around the streets, but I found more interesting places. For 55 rupees each time, with one stop for ten minutes, start the tour of the underground palace.
In the end, I found that it is worthy of a fighting nation, and even the subway transfer is a technical job. There are many and complex lines, with different entrances and exits, and you can't stop going upstairs and downstairs.
Only some of the new lines have English station names, and the old ones are only in Russian. When transferring, you need to check your own line according to the subway route map, and each line has a different color.
Yelena summed it up: the line looks at the color, and the station name is the letter!
It was already noon when I came out, and I came to the famous Pushkin Café in a single pink building. From the outside, it looks a little shabby, and the logo is not conspicuous.
Yelena stood at the door and introduced: "Although the name is a café, it is actually a high-end hotel, and the luxury is on par with Turandot, but it has a more important historical status than Turandot. ”
Pushing open the outside door, there is a small hall of 10 square meters, and there is a set of doors inside. Pushing open the second door, it is like walking into the central station in the 60s, and SC Johnson's eyes are bright, and sure enough, there is a hole in the sky, and the exquisite decoration retains the style of the Tsarist era, which is very retro.
The walnut-coloured hallway absorbs all the light, the huge windows seem to illuminate only themselves, and a row of bookcases blocks the view, creating a number of dimly lit spaces.
The steps to the second floor seem to have been stepped out of the sleek depression, almost 200 years old. In fact, calling Pushkin has nothing to do with me.
In the 80s of the 17th century, the nobles who served Empress Catherine II asked Italian designers to build this baroque mansion.
Later, it belonged to a German, and the Baroque decoration was retained, and the first floor was converted into a pharmacy and the second floor into a library.
In the dark hall, the candlelight and lights are intertwined, the walls are decorated with exquisite frescoes, reliefs and luxurious, elegant maidens playing moving music, and waiters dressed in a medieval style shuttle through, and the strong retro feeling makes you feel like you have arrived at an 18th-century high ball......
The package is so-so, mainly French, and there are not too many fighting ethnic characteristics, and SC Johnson is a little disappointed.
However, the retro decoration, the unusually well-dressed waiter, and the high-value band are very quiet and luxurious, full of aristocratic style, and good details.
The magic of this building is that on a sunny day, the interior seems to be dark as if no sunlight can shine in. Especially in the hallway to the bathroom, the faint sconces only outline the arc of the stone vault.
There is also a globe in the middle, and on the other side is an empty counter where the coat is stored, and at the end there is an iron door, which turns out to be an old-fashioned elevator.
Especially in the bathroom, the sink and toilet are all blue and white ceramics, especially the toilet is still a wooden seat and a high water tank with a lever, which is quite forced.
Answer the hotel, take a mandarin duck bath, conquer the girl who is as delicate as a Barbie doll, and have a feeling of winning glory for the country!
When she was done, Yelena highly recommended a ballet performance in the evening, one of Russia's three great artistic treasures: ballet, opera and circus.
In particular, the Bolshoi Theatre's "Swan Lake" is the world's highest-level performance, and it is definitely not to be missed for 1,500 yuan per ticket.
When a magical curse meets unwavering love, who will be the ultimate winner?
Will love break through all odds and reach the person you love the most......
Dressed up, come to the Grand Theater, a milky white classicist building, with 8 15-meter-high Ionian columns erected in front of the door, and the main entrance of the huge colonnade is majestic.
In particular, the four bronze carriages on the top of the gate, driven by the god Apollo, are imposing and beautifully shaped, and are one of the symbols of Moscow.
On the wall stands the relief carvings of the deified figures of ancient Greece, the style is majestic and magnificent, simple and elegant, and the internal equipment is very perfect, and it is extremely gorgeous.
Especially after 225 years of unremitting efforts of generations of ballet people, it has become an irreplaceable golden sign of world ballet.
