Early the next morning, Zhang Feng went out, Petersburg was bathed in clear and rainy, one side of the city was bright, and the other side of the city was cold. Fastest updates

Walked along the wet streets of Petersburg to the Neva River. Thick clouds covered the light, and the wind blew violently. On the opposite bank of the Neva are Vasilyevsky Island in St. Petersburg, Petrograd and Vyborg. It was these districts, divided by the Neva River, that together made up Petersburg. The most striking view on the other side is, of course, the Peter and Paul Fortress with its towering spire, where Peter the Great began the story of today's Petersburg.

On the riverside with a cool breeze, looking at the wide river, boats are still coming and going.

From time to time, the sun peeks out through the heavy dark clouds, giving the earth a hint of warmth.

Zhang Feng passed on a bridge over the Neva River and found that the opposite bank was Vasilyevsky Island, which includes Decembrist Island and its affiliated island Iwo Jima, which is the largest island located at the mouth of the Neva River and is an important part of the Neva Delta. Vasilyevsky Island is separated from Petrograd Island by the Lesser Neva River in the northeast, separated from part of the mainland city of St. Petersburg by the Greater Neva River in the southeast, connected to Decembrist Island by the Smolenka Canal in the north, and bordered by Neva Bay in the west and southwest.

Zhang Feng found that this is actually an excellent perspective of looking at the Winter Palace from afar, and the photos taken are very beautiful.

Passing back to the Winter Palace from the bridge, Zhang Feng did not intend to enter the visit, but walked around the exquisite and gorgeous palace towards the rear.

Petersburg is full of such atmospheric and exquisite buildings, and these classical Baroque styles have built up an incomparably magnificent Petersburg. Unlike Moscow, the Soviets did not leave much of a presence in the city because the Soviets moved to Moscow in the early days.

The Kazan Church = Hall is a tall and magnificent building, located in a prominent position on Nevsky Prospect. This neoclassical style of the Church = Church is partly modeled after the Church of St. Peter the Great in Rome and was commissioned by Tsar Paul. The church has two wall-shaped colonnades with a length of 111 meters, jutting out to Nevsky Prospect in front of the door. Surround the garden dotted with sculptures.

The interior of the church is relatively dim, with a traditional East = Orthodox = Religious style, and a tall dome of 80 meters, which makes people look extraordinarily small. There are many letters=disciples lined up in a long line, waiting to kiss = kiss the image of Our Lady of Kazan = which is a facsimile of one of the most important icons in Russia.

It feels like it's a living >

What is alive is what is still in use, not just to open up a church for tourists to visit. Incense = fire still lives on under the majestic stone bricks, where the Russian soul still thrives.

Petersburg in the afternoon is still stingy with every ray of sunshine, rarely shining, and more often than not, it is cold under the cover of dim clouds.

The Great Church of Spilled Blood = Church is probably the most famous church = church in Petersburg. The elegant appearance of the mosaics, the mysterious legends, have become the most unique of the countless churches in Russia.

On March 1, 1881, Alexander II rode in a carriage to sign a decree announcing the reorganization of the State Council and the initiation of the process of monarchy = constitutionalism = reform in Russia. When his carriage passed the embankment of the Griboyedov Canal, he was assassinated = killed by extremists of the "Narodnaya Volya" party. The first bomb=bomb thrown by an unpolitician = lord = righteous = injured Alexander II's guards and coachmen, and Alexander II insisted on getting out of the car to check on the guards' injuries despite the dissuasion from the left and right, and as a result, the second bomb=bomb thrown by the assassin exploded at his feet, and Alexander II was blown off both legs and was sent back to the Winter Palace a few hours later due to ineffective medical treatment.

In 1883, Alexander III, the son of Alexander II, Sha = Emperor, built this > in honor of his father = Emperor in honor of his father's assassination

In 1907, the main body of the church = church was completed, modeled after St. Basil's Cathedral on Moscow's Red Square, with a delicate and beautiful appearance.

In the following centuries, the Church of the Spilled Blood = Church once again witnessed the situation in Russia.

The Spilled Blood = church fully reflects the Russian style, so the architect Barland built this church = church based on the Vasily Ascension = church on Moscow's Red Square. The artistic design of the exterior of the church was mainly inspired by the architectural style of the Yaroslavsky railway station in Moscow and the Vasily Ascension = Church on Red Square. The specific architectural structure of the church = church as a whole came from the idea of the abbot of the monastery, Archpriest Ignachii. Legend has it that High Priest Ignachii revealed in his sleep the blueprint for the design of this future church=church. The groundbreaking ceremony was held on September 14, 1883. After 24 years of construction, it was officially completed on August 19, 1907, and was solemnly inaugurated by Nicholas II.

The interior of the Church of the Resurrection is filled with mosaics in the genre of Old Testament stories. Compared to the Great Church of Vasily's Ascension = Church, its appearance is more beautiful and vivid. The Spilled Blood = church has a colorful onion on its head, reflecting the typical Orthodox Christianity of the 16th and 17th centuries in Russia. The church has a beautiful silhouette and colorful decorations, which contrast with the old Russian style and the classical buildings of the neighborhood.

Walking out of the Spilled Blood Sect = Hall, Zhang Feng walked along the streets of St. Petersburg, sometimes full of sunshine and sometimes bitter wind, with the casualness and freedom of sweeping the streets, and looking forward to the scenery that would appear at the next street corner anytime and anywhere.

Nevsky Prospect is full of traffic and crowds, and the painters who are quiet in the hustle and bustle.

Zhang Feng crossed from the noisy Nevsky Prospect into the small street that he couldn't name, and from the hustle and bustle to the quiet, Zhang Feng felt as if he was looking at another world.

The statue of Mr. Pushkin stands tall among the green trees, the bronze statue is dazzlingly illuminated by the rare afterglow, and behind Zhang Feng is the Mikhailovsky Theater, which he has already visited.

Still warm in the sun and cool breeze, the city is huge, and you can see countless majestic and delicate buildings growing on the banks of the Neva River. Warmth and yearning are naturally the most subjective judgments, but they all originate from the surface of this gorgeous city.

In fact, Zhang Feng has been entangled in the itinerary in St. Petersburg, and the final decision is to abandon Vyborg and go to the ancient city of Veliky Novgorod, 200 kilometers from St. Petersburg. And Zhang Feng's real decision was actually only the night before departure.

That night, Zhang Feng met a Russian guy in the hotel and talked a lot, and he told Zhang Feng that he was an English teacher from Moscow, but he loved St. Petersburg very much, and he would come back here every once in a while. It's not his hometown, but it's better than his hometown.
