A. Baikal Lake is a charming place! I have many unforgettable memories of its monuments, wonderful scenery, sounds, and smells. I will always remember that trip and will do my best to return there and explore new places, as there are lots of things I did not see last summer!
B. Everyone has a special place, which is important for them and brings back happy memories. Well, I am not an exception. For me it’s Baikal Lake, Siberia, Russia. It has always been the destination of my dream. And I am the luckiest person, because last summer my dream came true. I spent two wonderful weeks there. The lake is in a really fairytale-like location and there are many exciting things to see there.
C. Such a charming ancient place offers lots of things to its visitors. People can not only explore the wilderness of Taiga forest, but also experience the unique spiritual life of the natives. When I was there last week, I visited mineral springs, the Buddhist temple and even a fairytale-like mysterious canyon. On the first day of my trip I was astonished by the old-style architecture of historical branch of Transsib railroad, which is still in use for tourists in Listvyanka village. After that I decided to go to the “Sunny Island” of Olkhon. It is a stunningly amazing and picturesque place with a mixture of different landscapes. There I felt the unity with mother-nature. Just imagine – you are standing at the top of a rock, the sky is pale and cloudless, the birds are chirping and the crickets are crunching, you look down the rock at the expanse of the lake and as far as the eye can see there is only azure water. And calmness feels you. You feel the peace and quiet of this amazing place, listen to the ancient legends and really forget all your problems!
D. The lake and the area around it are both unique and stunningly picturesque. On the shore there are small villages with beautiful shabby buildings. The lake is enormous; the natives even call it «sea». Moreover, it is the largest freshwater lake in the world! Scientists say, it has a maximum depth of 1 642 m, but the natives believe, it is much deeper. I can’t but say, that the lake is the world’s clearest and oldest lake. It is about 25-30 million years old!
