    I have a DVD of "Swan Lake" at home and watch it often. During this trip to St. Petersburg, I was fortunate to enjoy the Swan Lake performance at the internationally renowned Mariinsky Theater. The scale of the performance was very impressive and the performance was pleasing to the eyes. Although the ticket price was high, it was worth it. Unfortunately, you cannot take photos or videos during the performance.

    St. Isaac's Cathedral is world-renowned for its magnificent architecture and profound historical significance. It is not only a sacred site of religion but also a gem of architectural art. Every stone, every archway, bears the marks of history and tells stories of the past.

    Sparrow Hills is a must-see attraction in Moscow. The mountain is not high and is friendly to the elderly. Moscow University and Moscow River cruises are nearby. You can take a cable car across the river to see the city view. The cable car costs 600 rubles, and the scenic area itself is free.

    It is OK for foreigners to watch the dance. This ballet "The Flames of Paris" is grand, colorful and sensory. It lasts about two and a half hours, with a break of more than 20 minutes in the middle. You are not allowed to take photos during the performance, except when the actors take their bows at the end. I bought a third-class seat on Ctrip, but it was actually a first-class seat. Of course, the ticket booking fee is very expensive.

    The Moskva River is one of the most beautiful parts of Moscow — it gives the city a sense of calm and grandeur at the same time. During the day, the river reflects the city’s landmarks — you can see the Kremlin walls, bridges, and modern skyscrapers shining under the sun. The walkways along the river are lively with people cycling, walking, or relaxing in cafés.But at night, the whole scene changes — the lights from the city and bridges sparkle on the water, and the atmosphere becomes peaceful and romantic. The night reflections of the Kremlin and the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour are simply breathtaking.Taking a summer river cruise on the Moskva is an experience you shouldn’t miss. You can sit back and enjoy the gentle breeze, watch the city glide by, and see Moscow from a completely different perspective. Whether it’s a sunny afternoon or a glowing evening under the city lights, the Moskva River offers a view of Moscow you’ll never forget
