Moscow walk | Have a fairy-tale Christmas in Red Square

| Have a fairy-tale Christmas in Red Square. Many people don't understand why choose to come to Russia in winter, the Russian winter simply satisfies all my fantasies about winter... Especially the Christmas market in Red Square, there are outdoor ice rinks, hot red wine, cotton candy cocoa, Christmas trees everywhere, carousels, and snowflakes flying all over the sky, just like the snowy town you see in the crystal ball, it really appears in front of your eyes. Walk around with Red Square as the center, there are several markets of different scales, and finally you can take pictures in front of the "Christmas Bow" mall. Tour 📸tips: 1-The market has a lot of snacks, which can be purchased as props, and hot drinks can also warm your hands 2-Choose clothes, hats, etc. that match Christmas 3-There are many people, and the traffic is super super congested these two days 4-Popular snacks need to queue up 5-The temperature is okay, it is recommended to wear a thin base and a thick coat, it is colder at night with wind, you can wear a hat 6-The ice rink needs to book tickets in advance 7-Be careful not to take pictures with people wearing local costumes, you will be cheated of money

Moscow Red Square ⛰[Scenic Spot Guide] 📍Detailed address: Red Square, Moscow. 🚗Transportation guide: airplane, train 🕙Opening hours: all day 💰Ticket price: 🌟Highlight features: North of Red Square is the State Historical Museum of Russia. The museum is a treasure trove of Russian culture and art, with a large collection of cultural relics and a systematic display of the long history, culture, and craft of Russia. It also has a dedicated academic research institution, publishing papers and books related to the museum's collections, and working hard to preserve and promote Russian culture. To the east of Red Square is the Moscow State Department Store, also known as "GUM", which was built in 1893 and has become one of the top ten famous department stores in the world. Rather than a store, it is more like a palace, with a European classical style yellow building and a colorful church next to it, forming a beautiful scenery on Red Square. "GUM" is a three-story building with a glass roof and three large arches, consisting of more than a thousand shops, featuring Russian specialties such as porcelain, handicrafts, clothing, and department stores, as well as a wide range of imported goods. On the south side of Red Square is the Cathedral of Vasily the Blessed, which is a Russian Orthodox church displaying the folk architectural style of 16th century Russia. The main entrance of the eight-tower cathedral faces the ambulatory of the central church, so the entire interior of the church can be viewed from any entrance. The exterior of the church is surrounded by corridors and stairs. The entire cathedral is cleverly composed of nine towers, standing on a high pedestal, with eight colorful and full-bodied towers clustered around the central tower. To the west of Red Square is Lenin's Mausoleum, a famous building in Moscow. Located on the west side of Red Square, it is built of red granite and black basalt. The body of the proletarian revolution mentor Lenin is placed here. 📌Small tip: picturesque scenery, beautiful architecture
