Worth the hunt.. actually quite easy to spot the golden domes from the railway station. Beautifully restored church. Was earmarked for demolition in the early eighties, but luckily it wasn't.

Modern looking fun to cross bridge with a great view. Best time to do it is in the evening, when everything around it is lit up ( small waterfalls along the banks of river with colourful lights)
