The view of the sea and snow from the observation tower is so beautiful that I want to scream!

There is a 5-hour time difference between Russia and China, and 4 hours in summer. After a 9.5-hour flight, it was not yet 6:00 am local time. After arriving in Moscow, you need to go through customs first, and then go to the domestic departure level. There are not many passengers transferring to Europe at Moscow Airport now, but there are many people entering Moscow directly, so there are fewer people going through the domestic channel after entering the country, unlike the international transfer security check, which is crowded. After arriving at Sochi Airport, I drove along the coast and went to the Akhun Mountain Observation Tower. You can see the whole view of Sochi from the top floor. The ticket is RUB 100 per person. The view of the sea and snow from the observation tower is so beautiful that I want to scream! But the panoramic photo is not spectacular at all... But trust me! The real view is 10,000 times more beautiful! Ski tickets abroad do not include ski equipment, nor is there a so-called ski equipment hall, because most foreigners bring their own equipment; after buying ski tickets, you need to take the cable car up the mountain (security check is still required), and then go to the designated store to rent ski equipment. The place is generally small, and the price of ski equipment is RUB 3,100 for 2 people (including a locker for shoes). However, renting ski equipment here is not as casual as in China. In addition to asking for your shoe size, they will also ask for your height and weight to match the length of the skis and ski poles that suit you. You need to leave one person's passport as a deposit.
