Just returned from Vladivostok, let me share my view of the fighting nation

🏰1. Lenin statue, train station, Victory Square, cathedral, and submarine museum are all together, you can see them all in one go. The real appearance of the Glass Beach is quite different from the filtered images online. 🔤2. The prevalence of English is very low, so be prepared with translation software or body language. 🕰️3. Overall, the pace of life in Vladivostok feels slow. There is a 2-hour time difference with China, but it is not very noticeable. Local shops and banks open at 8 AM, but there are usually very few people in the morning. Restaurants open around noon and can stay open until 1-2 AM, which is very normal. 🦀4. The king crabs in Vladivostok are very fat and fresh, costing 1250 rubles per jin, which is about 99 RMB, less than 100 RMB. It's cheap, so I recommend eating a lot. 🔫5. There are gun shops to visit locally. We went for live ammunition shooting, which was very exciting. There are also forests where you can hunt. 🥖6. Local desserts are very sweet. Their diet mainly consists of bread, milk, potatoes, vegetables, and pork. The food at white people's restaurants is not tasty, so be mentally prepared. 🚗7. We drove into the country, and the road conditions were very poor. There is no signal when passing through uninhabited areas. The city roads are not bumpy, but parking is difficult. 🚘8. Drivers here drive very fast but also follow traffic rules strictly. Cars will usually stop for pedestrians to cross the road. 💰9. The living standard of residents is not high. The average local salary is about 5000 RMB. They are not competitive and do not like to work overtime, regardless of the pay. 🍺10. The fighting nation loves to drink. During the day, you can see people carrying bottles and drinking on the street. 🛍️11. Svetlanskaya Street is the first street in Vladivostok and a must-visit for tourists and architecture enthusiasts. There are many shops, and the buildings on both sides of the street have a historical feel, with vintage buildings retaining traces of history. 🚂12. The easternmost station of the Trans-Siberian Railway. It feels like the railway was extended eastward mainly for this place. The railway and trains are very prominent in this port city. The platform has an old-fashioned style from the last century, semi-open. Some platforms are like museums with antique trains on display. Also, the train platforms in Vladivostok can be freely accessed without a ticket. 🚢13. There are huge ships docked on the sea.
