So why go to Baikal crowds of tourists? Why would they wait hours in line for the ferry to get to the island? They say that in Chinese travel guides, the island appears as a place that must be visited. There are places here where you can gain strength. Well, if you put aside the energy component, there is simply beautiful. Very nice and unusually quiet. There is almost no rain. Few people and vast steppe. And of course the cliffs and the lake. And even if the water doesn't all seem warm, a swim - there are beaches, white sand and the sun.
