Perhaps you have spent a lot of time standing on the land of Asia. Perhaps, you have flown from one side of the world to the other to experience a different kind of life. Have you ever thought about driving to the magical and beautiful Lake Baikal step by step with a group of like-minded off-roaders with your car? To experience the days in fairy tales?
Joining hands with the China-Mongolia International Cross-Country Rally, the China-Mongolia-Russia Self-Driving Tour started a new journey.
The most beautiful scenery is on the road, galloping freely in the wilderness of Siberia. Feel the blue sky and white clouds, Lake Baikal in June/July is green and blue eyes. The climate is cool and pleasant, making it an excellent summer resort.
Lake Baikal, the freshwater lake with the largest water storage capacity in the world, is home to lovely seals. The shape of Lake Baikal is long and narrow, like a crescent moon, so it is also called “Moon Lake”. Lake Baikal in summer is a natural summer resort. It is located in Siberia with natural advantages. Even in the hot summer, the temperature of Lake Baikal is only over 20 degrees. There are pure blue ice in winter, and there are small trains around the lake in spring and summer. The birch forest with layers of forests…the scenery of the four seasons has its own characteristics.
Lake Baikal has many appellation labels, the largest freshwater lake in Eurasia, the seventh largest lake in the world, the deepest lake in the world, and the blue eyes of Siberia. Lake Baikal was formed by stratum fractures and was isolated from the ocean 30 million years ago. It has a history of at least 25 million years. It can be regarded as one of the oldest lakes in the world. After a long period of rainwater dilution, it becomes fresh water lake.
No words can describe the beauty of Lake Baikal from a high altitude, and this pure touch of blue, plus the green grass and pink wildflowers, is the most natural modification. Whether it is by the lake or on the top of the mountain, it is also a wonderful enjoyment to watch the sun slowly set from the western hillside, and the golden waves of Lake Baikal appear. Due to the long sunshine hours, the sunset time in spring and summer is basically after eight o’clock. If you are just a day trip passerby, you will definitely miss the sunset time regrettably. In a place, you have to have at least one breakfast and watch the sunset once before you can really appreciate the life in this place.
A few years ago, Li Jian’s “Lake Baikal” made people have endless fantasies about this pure and beautiful place in Siberia. In fact, Lake Baikal is not far away. A long-planned journey is about to begin.
