  • TRAVEL TIPS

    We recommend to stay minimum 1-2 nights in Moscow. There is plenty to do in the city, and the Russian countryside. If time and budget allow, visit few towns of Russia's famous Golden Ring, possibly overnight trip to St. Petersburg. In Ulaanbaatar, check the city, souvenir markets and of course countryside, stay overnight in Mongolian ger (yurt) camp. Beijing speaks for itself. It really depends what you like to do starting from Forbidden city to the Great Wall and more.
