Moscow [New Convent of the Holy Virgin] is selected for the World Heritage List, built in the 16th century, located on the banks of the Moscow River, is the most elegant and beautiful monastery in Russia. Walking around the monastery, it feels so beautiful! The surrounding scenery is also very very beautiful, there are few tourists!
When I went there, almost the whole thing was put up and repaired. The big sister who sold the ticket was only three places. open,open,open, the others were closed. When I bought the ticket, I turned it over with a translator. Foreigners were 300 rubles and students were 100. The big sister saw me with my shoulders on my back, so she said that student student, saved 200.
I haven't seen the nuns, but the nuns are so beautiful.
Moscow finally came. Never thought of remembering the monastery name... But there was a piece of celebrity buried behind the courtyard. After coming out, there was a suspected monastery free-range wolf dog that took us all the way to the subway station. The dog hair is particularly thick and beautiful! Then turn to GUM for lunch and cheap and delicious strawberry ice cream!
I didn't plan to see this. When I saw this side when I visited the New Saint's Cemetery, I learned it by the way. In fact, the building of this monastery is very distinctive, giving people a very elegant and cool feeling, and probably also affected by the cemetery. It seems not open to the outside world, but only outside.
