You must experience driving in the Arctic Circle once in your life! Russia's niche route ceiling

· Day 1-2: St. Petersburg → Vyborg · Day 3-4: Vyborg → Murmansk · Day 5: Murmansk → Teriberka · Day 6-8: Teriberka → St. Petersburg I went to Russia last year. Before leaving, I saw the news and felt that the war was quite tense. I was also worried about the impact~ I didn’t expect that everywhere I went was peaceful [Angel] ✨The whole journey is 3,500 kilometers, 8 days to cross the forest/Aurora/Arctic Ocean📸 Must-check-in spots👇 [One] Vyborg | Medieval Nordic Fairy Tale 🔹Red brick castle + sunset on the Gulf of Finland, pretending to be in Copenhagen! 🔹The lake island in Monrepo Park, wearing a white dress to take forest-style photos is amazing💃 [Two] Arctic Circle Highway | Breaking into the end of the world 🚗 The scenery outside the car window offsets the fatigue of driving 🌌 Winter limited-time Easter egg: chase the aurora dancing in the sky at 23:00! [Three] Teriberka | Decadent Aesthetic Ceiling 🌊 Abandoned fishing boats on the cliffs of the Barents Sea, take photos on a cloudy day to create a sense of doomsday! (In order to take pictures of this ship, our car got stuck in the beach because we only rented an SUV but not a four-wheel drive vehicle [Facepalm]) 📌The same shipwreck skeleton as "Leviathan", wearing a bright-colored coat, the contrasting colors are super eye-catching! [Four] St. Petersburg | Blockbusters everywhere 🇷🇺 A visual feast of Russian romance 🎨 Artistic genes flowing in the blood 🚗 Self-driving tips ✅ Vehicle: Rent a four-wheel drive SUV! The gravel road in Teriberka village + winter snow all depend on it (be sure to listen to advice [Smart]) ✅ Navigation: Yandex Maps offline map (Google often has problems, I personally tested it and it doesn’t work well) 📃 Visa and documents: ✅ Chinese driver’s license must be accompanied by a Russian translation (notarized). ✅Passport visas are required to enter border areas (such as Vyborg) (but some foreigners who are too close to the border are still not allowed to enter. We passed a border road closer to Finland and were still stopped)
