Top 10 Things to do in Far Eastern District, Far Eastern District
Far East Russia is a world apart from the country’s west – almost literally, lying thousands of miles and many time zones away from it. A huge area with rugged mountains and spectacular Pacific Ocean coastline, Far East Russia borders China and North Korea on its south and nearly touches the United States to the northeast. Cities like Vladivostok and Khabarovsk are here, but the glorious natural wonders (like the volcanoes and national parks of the Kamchatka Peninsula) are what draw many.

I wanted to visit once again the Egersheld lighthouse. It was a sunny cold January day. It was possible to walk to the lighthouse. But the wind was so cold and strong. Locals were doing some races on ice on off-road vehicles.

In the simplest terms, this was an ice cave with beautiful and elaborate carvings . I visited during hottest part of summer and inside it felt like winter! The cave is dug in the side of mountain. It is well maintained and I felt safe the entire time. With your admission you are supplied with a pair of clean boots, a large heavy clean coat, and a clean hard hat as a safety precaution. The elaborate ice carvings were incredible; some were interactive including a small ice sled run!! This is a great activity for adults and children!

Well, as sea life places go this was certainly not run-of-the-mill. Extremely modern with use of some interesting technology. A large and very space-age building set on the beautiful Russky Island, this was commissioned by Vladimir Putin himself to be a centre of excellence in marine research, as well as a world-class visitor attraction. I took so many pictures and videos I am struggling to pick a few to put on the review. The creation of the planet at the start of the first tour was amazing. The effects were stunning. There are a large number of tanks charting the evolution of the planet and a long tunnel with aquatic life surrounding you. The divers feeding the rays and fish was hilarious. We also saw the dolphin and sea lion show. There were some impressive acts on show. All together, a thoroughly enjoyable time. Entry fee was about £20 including the dolphinarium. There are 2 cafes in the complex - you get food from one and coffee from the other. A little weird!
