Olkhon island is a point of attraction for many tourists who come to lake Baikal (in Russia). Olkhon attracts especially the Chinese, who are running around the island with cameras and shoot, shoot, shoot. I don't even know how many terabytes of similar photos are born every day on the island.
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.
One of the symbols of the Olkhon Island - shaman rock. So that was the main attraction for which many people travel thousands of miles. The Cape, where there is a rock, used to be housing the spirit of the island of Olkhon. Here in the old days was arranged for the sacrifice and asked about different things, what's important. Saying all that there wish is fulfilled.
But in the North there is rock of Love. It consists of two rocks, like wings. If you want to conceive and does not work, you need to come here and succeed) there's a rock similar to crocodile, face, figure, and all the women that willingly being tourists. In General, there is really very beautiful!
