Ulan-Ude is not only the capital of Republic of Buryatia and an important commercial and industrial center of Eastern Siberia.
It`s an old merchant`s town with the mix of East and West and the Eastern Gate of Russia to Asia.
We recommend you to spend a couple of days in the city with a huge head of Lenin on the central square, Soviet style hotel buildings, some remains of the typical 19th century architecture, traditional wooden houses along the streets, to visit the local History Museum with great expositions of local and Buddhist culture and Museum of Nature with interesting exposition about history, flora and fauna of Baikal lake, or to visit the Ethnographic open-air Museum. You can learn there about history and traditions of native tribes, see how they yurts looked like, and compare it with samples of Cossacks settlements. |
