Datsan Rinpoche Bagsha

Reviewed By SiberianVoyager - New York City, United States

Thanks to our wonderful guide Natalia Gomboeva and Metropol'-Ekspress agency for making our visit to this beautiful Tibetan Datsan unforgettable. Everything about the place was interesting - the location, offering panoramic views of the city and surrounding mountains, the architecture - rather new-age but keeping traditional values, manipulate grounds with gorgeous flowers and trees, stunning Buddha statue inside, but most importantly, it was our guide’s knowledge of history, culture and Buddist religion that she kindly shared with us. If you are interested in finding a truly knowledge and gracious guide - ask the Metropol-express agency for Natalia Gomboeva!

Cathedral of The Epiphany

Reviewed By Kanbaatar - Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia

The Cathedral of The Epiphany, located very close to the Angara River, here in Irkutsk, Russia, sits amidst a fair number of other very interesting attractions. So this is definitely a prime area to visit here in Irkutsk. The exterior of the Russian Orthodox Cathedral is very beautiful as is its interior. Now for an interesting aside. I had visited the Cathedral of the Epiphany and totally missed truly seeing a pair of monumental busts along side of the Cathedral. First you have the Monument to Saint Innocent of Alaska. His monument, along with a neighboring monument to Saint Sophronius of Irkutsk, tend to be lost so to speak in the shadows of the great Cathedral of the Epiphany. I found out about these two monuments while researching Things to do in Irkutsk and returned to the Cathedral specifically to see them and to write a review thereof.
