“Irkutsk is a city with a lot of historical architecture, I think it can be one of the interesting city for tourism, on the railway between Krasnoyarsk and Vladivostok. But, like all East Siberian cities, it’s kinda poor and depressed.

Vladivostok is a beautiful sea city. In Khabarovsk, i got robbed, so I do not like the city :) Ulan-Ude, a very strange city. This is the Buddhist capital of Russia, with many Buddhist temples, such as the Ivolginsky datsan. But I do not like the city itself I wasn’t on Krasnoyarsk, and can’t say anything about it. And Novosibirsk, largest city of Siberia, must be visited i guess.

And Chita, awful city, i even recommend to don’t getting off the train. City has one of highest crime rate in Russia for years, and very bad reputation”–Vaval
