Gorno-Altaisk
Russia is a country of enormous size and diversity. There are a lot
of place to visit and things to see. One of the places to visit in Russia
is Altai Republic and the capital Gorno-Altaisk, which is said to be
one of the first places to be inhabited by man. Ulala site dates back
to the 379th century BC. A small village in the past, Gorno-Altaisk
has been considerably extended for the last 70 years. You can have a
magnificent view of the town from the highest point of the mountains
around. It main street Kommunistichesky stretches for miles from west
to east. However, the main business and shopping center lies between
two bus stops Mebelnaya and Tkatskaya. Now I want to take you round
Gorno-Altaisk. Of course, we haven’t modern facilities for tourists
as London. For example travel agents, guided excursions and others.
It goes without saying every sightsee in tour includes visits to places
of historic interests. That’s why we will with Memorial in Victory Park.
It was erected to commemorate the 9th of May. People always go there
and put flowers near the fire. First time visitors to a city usually
want to see the famous places they have read or head about. But there
are many more attractions it would be a pity to miss. Lots of the streets
in our town have some associations with famous names of the past. For
example Choros Gurkin Street is named of the famous altai pointer. Speaking
about places of interests I must say that our region-study museum is
worth visiting. It is situated in a beautiful three-store building remarkable
for its architecture. The traffic in the town is comparatively heavy,
because there are only two main streets there: Kommunistichesky and
Choros Gurkin street. There are some markets in our town, including
the shopping center where a great variety of goods can be found. In
conclusion I’d like to say that I personally wouldn’t swap anything
in the world for my home, my town.
