I did not expect that Belarus would be so beautiful and interesting! Bloggers from China visit Minsk

A week-long study tour of Belarus continues for ten bloggers and opinion leaders with a total audience of about 50 million people from China. Today, on September 12, a visit to Minsk and the surrounding area began. The first point in the program was a tour of the National Library. Details are reported by sb.by correspondent.

During the tour, bloggers from China were told about the history of the creation of the diamond of knowledge, the peculiarities of the library, the exposition of rare books was shown, the round hall of the President-Center was held in the book depository. The final point of the tour was a visit to the observation deck.

It is noteworthy that in the morning bloggers visited the Bulgakov Palace in Zhilichi - a unique example of the estate architecture of the XVIII century. At the same time, some guests chose to spend half a day in Minsk to feel more festive atmosphere. One of them is blogger Gipao, who said:

- Today we walked around Minsk, and we know that today is the City Day. We were even lucky enough to participate in events dedicated to this event, we were very interested. We felt you had very friendly people ready to help. When we took the photos, the police allowed us to come closer to the right objects to get good pictures. It was especially impressive that in the center of the city you could taste soldiers’ rice (porridge) eaten during the war, and potatoes for free. This moment of remembering the past was surprising. I think that Belarus is an open country.

- Throughout this time, we visited a lot of attractions. I didn’t expect it to be so beautiful and interesting! We visited the swamp, natural attractions, riding ATVs - and this is only a small part of an exciting program. I will recommend to my subscribers to visit the objects I have seen. Especially Belarusian palaces, castles - I myself do art, study it and I am very impressed with the painting in them, the sculptures, the atmosphere and history.

- Most of the people from our group have not met before, only a few people maintained friendly relations, the blogger said.

Blogger Wei Zivei shared her impressions:

- Almost a week we are in Belarus – nature and natural attractions were especially impressed, the swamps – a separate interesting experience. I think everything in your country regarding environmental protection, air quality is at a high level.

- It has a rich history, interesting defensive architecture, interesting expositions - the tour helped to feel how people used to live. This place was impressive, as was the World itself - an unusual village. Therefore, the overnight stay also left pleasant memories, allowed us to feel the atmosphere even more, says Wei Zivei. It was very interesting for me to visit all the castles and palaces and learn how the noble Belarusian families used to live, to see how this rich history is preserved.

Belarus is a beautiful, clean country with a rich history.

- I am waiting for the opportunity to join the festive events, I am waiting for the festive fireworks, the blogger shared.

Blogger Lin Tingyu pointed out that her experience in Belarus exceeded her expectations:

- Everything turned out better and more interesting! I really liked the overnight stay in Mir Castle, Belarusian cuisine and food. Yesterday at the gas station they bought your chips - today they took five packs on the trip. And we eat plenty of ice cream -- delicious. I liked yogurt – I tried it here for the first time, very tasty! I don't know when I'll be able to drink it again, it's not sold in China.

- I’ve never seen this – so unusual! – said the interlocutor.

She admitted that she had heard about Belarus before that it has cold winters and beautiful snowy landscapes. I expected it to be cooler, but the weather was comfortable.

- After returning to China, I will tell you that the nature of Belarus is very beautiful. And also - castles and palaces, a rich history. I showed a little of that on my blog. While collecting material, I will work at home and lay out details about the trip, said Lin Tingyu. I want to come in the winter to see the beautiful snow.
