Chita is one of the major cities in the Russian Far East, and it is an important hub on the famous Trans-Siberian Railway. The city is located where the Ingoda and Chita rivers converge, and it is the administrative center of the Zabaikal region, also known as the Transbaikal.
Chita’s history goes back to the Cossack Pyotr Beketov, who explored parts of Siberia and founded cities such as Chita and Yakutsk. Throughout the 19th century, the city grew significantly, eg when many Decabrists were sent into exile here after 1825 and when the Trans-Siberian Railway was built between Moscow and Vladivostok.
There are several things to see in Chita, where you can see both old and new buildings in the streets. You can start a stroll in the city on the central square, Ploshad Lenina, where a statue of Lenin has been since the time of the Soviet Union. From the Soviet Union era you can also visit the impressive Victory Park which is a monument to the victory in World War II and as a reminder of both the struggle and the fallen.
In Chita there are also several beautiful churches in Russian architectural style, and the contrast is great from the Decabrist church in wood to the Kazal Cathedral with gilded domes. Chita is also interesting as the home of some of Russia’s Buddhists. This can be seen in the city’s datsan, which is a Buddhist temple. You should also take a walk to the ridge of Titovskaya Sopka where you will enjoy an excellent view.
