I am absolutely BLOWN AWAY by Krasnoyarsk! It's only 850 kilometers away – 12 hours by train or just an hour and a half by plane – and boom, you're in a totally different Siberia. It's like finding Switzerland in Siberia! Such a beautiful and green city. It's surrounded by hills, so many parks and green spaces, tons of viewpoints, and oh my god, the Yenisei River is so beautiful and clear!

The city is so clean – apparently, they even VACUUM the city center in the summer!! I'm in total cultural shock. The streets and avenues are so wide. So many benches, tons of trash cans, and the traffic is so calm compared to my city.

If you could fall in love with a city in Siberia, I'd totally fall for Krasnoyarsk! I'd heard good things about it, but I had NO idea just HOW good it actually is!!!
