[Driving to France] Episode 9: Moscow meets St. Petersburg, just like the capital meets the capital

Below I will share with you in chronological order, what kind of beauty and magic we have experienced during the 152-day journey, and how we drove from China to France every day. Mileage in this episode: Moscow-Saint Petersburg-Vyborg

Moscow-Saint Petersburg

Our destination city today, Saint Petersburg, is located in northwestern Russia, on the coast of the Baltic Sea, on the Neva River, the central municipality of Russia, the capital of Leningrad Oblast, the central city of Northwestern Russia, and an important water and land transportation hub in Russia. The second largest city, the northernmost city in the world with a population of more than one million, is also known as the northern capital of Russia.

There are 700 kilometers from Moscow to St. Petersburg, of which there is a long section of the express highway, which is one of the few express highways in Russia. The road conditions are good and the street lights are also strong, and the gas station is too big. I couldn't see one in a few hundred kilometers. I recorded two sections of charges: one section costs 450 rubles for 40 kilometers, and another section costs 660 rubles for 345 kilometers.

The service area of the express highway between Moscow and Saint Petersburg is much simpler than our domestic service area. The most important thing is that there is no gas station, which is equivalent to a parking area in the country. Configuration.

There was no gas station even after passing several parking areas. I started to be a little alert. At that time, only half a tank of gas was left. I started to consciously turn off the speaker, lightly step on the accelerator, and glide as much as possible to save fuel. The atmosphere in the car started to change and became a little nervous, and my parents also began to show some anxiety. Everyone was worried about what to do if there was no gas!

In fact, I was also worried. I was even more worried than my parents. It was getting dark at the time. This highway even had an emergency parking zone. When the oil burned out, I was forced to drop anchor at the speed. On the side of the highway, it's dark again, it's really dangerous...but I can't show it, because it will aggravate my parents' anxiety. I can only step on the accelerator quietly and slide as much as possible.

In this way, we glide for 100 kilometers. When the indicator of the fuel gauge has reached the end, another parking area appeared on the side of the road. There was still no gas station, but there were two elderly people smoking and chatting over there. Yu  open  in the past I plan to ask them. It’s maddening. There is no signal in this place. I don’t need a translation app. I don’t speak Russian. I can only rely on gestures.... I pointed to my car’s fuel tank cap and flushed 2 The old man danced and danced, and finally made them understand that I was looking for a gas station. The old man tapped the number 15 on my mobile phone calculator, and pointed his finger in the direction of St. Petersburg. I understand what they mean. There is a gas station 15 kilometers ahead, but they are not sure if I see them. , Due to communication difficulties, I cannot further confirm this information with them.

There is a dilemma in front of me-there may be a gas station if you keep going 15 kilometers, but if you don’t have it, it’s bad. The remaining fuel cap is only enough to support a few kilometers, and it may break down at any time; if Do not move forward, waiting for the passing vehicles to give me some fuel, although there is a safe parking area, but when it gets dark, the variables will be more variable. Thinking about it again, I decided to move on!

This is really suffocating 15 kilometers. When we saw the off-ramp of the express highway, our whole family sighed loosely-until we came out of the fully enclosed express highway, I would ask for gas. Stations and calling for rescue are easy to handle, and mobile phones also have signals. Thank goodness, there is a big gas station on the side of the road just off the ramp. This is nothing short of charcoal! Filled up with oil, we drove to St. Petersburg calmly, recalling the experience in the afternoon, and feeling lingering. I would like to remind all riders: When walking the road from Moscow to St. Petersburg, you must fill up the fuel before going up. When I was going up, I was negligent because I felt that there was still more than half a tank of fuel. , almost made a big mistake. Since this incident, my parents have always reminded me to refuel, even if there is half a tank of oil left, they will feel it, and sometimes I can’t laugh or cry.

It was late when we arrived in the city of St. Petersburg. We quickly found a hotel to stay through Booking and opened 2 standard rooms for 4000 rubles. Because there is no human room and the shop owner refused to let us 3 people share. A standard room, which is common in Europe.

Saint Petersburg-Viborg

Our Russian tourist visa expires at 24:00 on August 23, so we plan to spend most of the day in the retro-style St. Petersburg city today, and then rush to the border between Russia and Finland. City of Vyborg, leaving Russia on the 23rd from Vyborg.

Why is St. Petersburg retro? In fact, relative to Moscow, in addition to the Red Square, the Kremlin, there are also many European contemporary art in Moscow; St. Petersburg is traditional, the Winter Palace, the Summer Palace, the Church on Spilled Blood, etc., the whole city They are full of Russian retro romance. St. Petersburg is most proud of it. Unlike Moscow, it is a "window to Europe". The city embodies the collision and integration of Russian and European cultures, which is similar to the Champs Elysees in France. The wonderful Nevsky Prospekt is a romantic travel destination for couples, and the retro-style European-style buildings winding along both sides of the Neva River seem to take people to Venice and experience the beauty of the city of water.

Therefore, the two cities, Moscow and St. Petersburg, are more modern and more retro. The former has a sea-like feel, while the latter has the thick feeling of the old Beijing city!

The architectural style of St. Petersburg is like this, but rather retro.

St. Petersburg was founded in 1703, and the name of the city comes from Saint Peter, a disciple of Jesus. In 1712, Peter the Great moved his capital to Peterborough, and it was the center of Russian culture, politics, and economy for the 200 years until 1918. In 1924, it was renamed Leningrad to commemorate Lenin. In 1991, the original name was restored to St. Petersburg.

There is a Chinese restaurant called Tan Zhen on this street. I found it with TripAdvisor. The face looks like this. I came in and found Chinese tourists. It is estimated that most of the tourist groups came to eat the group meal. I wanted to explain that I was looking for the right place.

When I stand on the bridge and feel the breeze blowing across my face, it really feels like the past is like smoke.

The Neva River has a total length of 74 kilometers, of which 28 kilometers are located within the range of St. Petersburg, and the rest are within the territory of Leningrad Oblast. She flows southwest from Lake Lahga to its southernmost point-where it meets the Tosna River, and then turns northwest to the Gulf of Finland. It is an important navigation channel of the White Sea-Baltic Sea and the Volga-Baltic Sea. If calculated by the river flow alone, the Neva River is the largest river in Europe (after the Volga and the Nau)

Next, we are going to see the Spilled Blood Cathedral in St. Petersburg. After arriving at the cathedral, we first found a large wall outside the cathedral, and the surface can still feel the residual temperature left by the Russian World Cup not long after:

The official Russian name of the Cathedral of the Spilled Blood is the Church of the Resurrection of Christ. It is called the Cathedral of the Spilled Blood because of the attempted assassination of Tsar Alexander II in 1881. The Cathedral of Spilled Blood itself is an architectural boutique, typical Russian Orthodox style, with 7000 square meters of mosaic decoration inside. The designers include Rovanetsov, Matthew Nesterov, Andrei Liabushkin And so on, it took 24 years to build the entire building.

When we were about to leave the church, an interesting incident happened: there were some street performers dressed up in bronze statues in the church square. Among them was a girl with a cute look. So I used the camera to shoot her, but just when I was preparing When I left, the girl chased me and opened her mouth for 200 rubles, and I realized that I had encountered a paid shooter. But looking at the booths of other artists, they all set up obvious signs telling visitors to pay for the filming, but this girl did not set up a sign, so I refused to pay. She also said that I would give 100 rubles. I told her through the translation app: This is not a money issue. I was not prompted to pay when I took the photo. Now I feel that I have been cheated.

She tried to insist on asking for money, but I insisted on not giving it, and did not leave. I was just arguing with her, and finally she gave up. In fact, looking at her pitiful appearance, I also want to give money, but as I said to her, this is not a question of money, only the relevant rules, and the money of Chinese tourists is not so easy to cheat. .

Next, we will go to the Winter Palace, the most famous Winter Palace in St. Petersburg.

The Hermitage Museum, the main part of which is known as the "Hermitage", is a well-deserved cultural and artistic treasure of Russia, comparable to Britain and the Louvre. In addition to the works of great Russian masters of art, the Winter Palace also houses paintings by Rembrandt, Leonardo da Vinci, and Caravaggio that also take the elegant route. In the Golden House of the Treasure Museum, travelers can also See gold and silver jewelry made by ancient Greek and Eastern craftsmen. The most precious exhibit in the museum is the "Peacock Clock", which was a gift received by King Catherine II in the 18th century. The most amazing thing about the peacock clock is that every hour on the hour, the peacock will automatically "turn on". Screen" tells the time.

Some people say that my dad doesn’t look like a 70-year-old, maybe because he has a better mentality in his life, plus the trendy look I created for him this time.

The summer residence faces the Gulf of Finland and consists of beautiful fountains, parks, and palaces. The victory of the Great Northern War that year greatly satisfied the ambitions of Emperor Peter, and in order to demonstrate Russia’s status as a veritable “great power”, Emperor Peter needed to build a palace to match it—this is it. The Summer Palace, later experienced by the czars, carved and polished it step by step, making it more beautiful and charming. In World War II, it was destroyed by the German army and was later restored, and it was listed as the "World Heritage List" by UNESCO.

Okay, this update will write this first. On the night after visiting St. Petersburg, we drove 100 kilometers to the city of Vyborg on the border between Russia and Finland. In the next episode, we will leave Russia and enter Finland. Officially enter the European Schengen area! Just think about it, I’m excited, but at the same time, I’ve also felt uneasy and worried. I’ve never entered the Schengen area before. This is my first time and I’m driving by myself. I don’t know if all the procedures I prepared in advance are complete or not. Finnish customs and border inspection will let us know what kind of customs clearance process.
