Very beautiful, just come here................................................................

On the National Day of 2019, we went to Russia. After the epidemic, we never had the opportunity to travel. When we were fine, we turned over the photos and recalled it. The Winter Palace Museum, also known as the Hermitage Museum. It is one of the world's four major museums, alongside the Louvre Museum in France, the Metropolitan Museum in the United States and the British Museum in Britain. The Winter Palace is a large and magnificent conjoined building. On either side of a long corridor hung portraits of Peter the Great and Queens Yekaterina, Yekaterina II, Alexander and Nikolai, the tsars, queens, princes, palace owners and royal personnel of all ages. Listening to the tour guide, Yekaterina is a legendary woman, long and very beautiful. I have the opportunity to go to Russia to play, it is really worth browsing. I hope the epidemic will end soon

The Hermitage Museum is the Winter Palace, formerly the Russian Tsar Palace, and later the private museum of Queen Yekaterina II, now with the Louvre in Paris, France, the British Museum in London, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the four museums in the world. The Winter Palace has more than 3 million pieces in its collection, and there are four treasures to see: Egyptian mummy (Hall No. 100), Peacock Bell (204), Da • Vinci's portrait of the Virgin (214), Rembrandt's "The Prodigal Son Returns" (254). Chinese maps can be obtained at the service center, and jackets, larger backpacks and liquid drinks must be stored. The museum is free to the public on the first Thursday of each month. The day we went was a free day, but we still need to queue up to receive free tickets before we can enter. There is a guide rented, 450 rubles/desk. There are too many people to visit the Winter Palace, and it takes more than half a day to reserve. We queued for 1 and a half hours and visited the interior for five and a half hours.

The Winter Palace is one of the world's 4 largest museums. St. Petersburg must go to the place. There is a ticket machine at the door. It is very convenient. Don't book high-priced tickets online. Go to the door at 9:30 to queue up to become a dog, and enter the queue at 10 o'clock. It was said that there was a Chinese guide and the result was not found. Fortunately, the mobile phone installed a pocket guide app recommended by friends in advance. There is a Chinese voice explanation in the Winter Palace, which is quite complete. The inside of the Winter Palace is too big. If you look carefully for a few days, it is not enough. Is it a waste of 4 hours of walking? In addition, there is food on the first floor, which is not expensive, and you can rest and replenish your strength.

Needless to say, one of the indispensable attractions to come to St. Petersburg is the Winter Palace, as "one of the four major museums in the world", the Winter Palace is indeed well-deserved. The appearance alone has a super luxurious and elegant wind. I like its green and white color matching, plus the gold and silver inlay, which is simply a small freshness in the aristocracy. The Winter Palace building is very magnificent, you can see it from a long distance, it is definitely an iconic building. The Winter Palace of St. Petersburg under the blue sky and white clouds is particularly dazzling. Summer is the peak tourist season, and it is a famous attraction. There are also quite a lot of group tourists. Due to the need to control the number of people in the museum, the stay time for each person is one and a half hours. Still, we were in a queue for about an hour at the door. The entrance to the Winter Palace is really lively, in addition to waiting tourists, there are many locals with stamp albums to sell and sell, and can bargain. The Winter Palace has a collection of countless collections, and there is a concise and clear sentence to describe: if you stay on each of the artworks for a minute, it takes 18 years for a person to see all the art collections here. Of course, in addition to the large number of collections, there are also many tourists. During the visit, sometimes it takes a squeeze.

Very good place, the Winter Palace, the Palace Square (we went in around 10 in the morning, there are a lot of people, need to queue, about 30 minutes) The Winter Palace can be photographed. Generally, the museum here cannot use flash lights, and the large bag must be stored, and the handbag can be brought in. It is recommended to rent a explainer first (500 rubles/desk, 2000 rubles deposit, return the machine can be returned, there is a student ID card can be detained), especially free travelers, multi-language choices, harvest will be particularly much, the whole winter palace walked for 2 hours, less than half, this can definitely take a day, Not to mention this trip. This art museum is really shocking, from the history of the Russian Empire to the artistic renaissance, and the suffering of Jesus, Leonardo's famous paintings, and sculpture art. I feel like I have never been so serious about understanding the civilization behind every work.
