Selfies against the backdrop of a waterfall and gold for good luck: Magadan region welcomes guests
At the RUSSIA EXPO you can see Magadan's beauty with your
own eyes and feel the magic of Kolyma. This unique region ranks first in Russia
in silver and nugget gold mining, and second in native gold mining. It is also
home to one of the largest nature reserves in the country.
The stand of the Magadan region, as it should be, attracts
attention thanks to gold. On huge screens one can admire a waterfall of molten
gold, and on the showcase one can see a moulage of the "Golden
Giant". This is the largest nugget mined in Kolyma, weighing almost 17
kilograms. It is believed that it brings good luck: you only need to hold your
hand over the nugget for 30 seconds.
Besides, at the stand you can get acquainted with the
history of creation and development of the region. For example, you can learn
about the excavations of the ancient town of Gizhiginsk, located in the
North-Even district. And young visitors will surely appreciate the opportunity
to play gold prospectors on interactive screens.
Also, everyone can take photos against the background of
beautiful natural landscapes. After all, there are unique natural complexes and
reserves in the region, which are definitely worth visiting. First of all, of
course, it is about the "Magadansky" reserve. This is a huge territory
with beautiful nature, where there are dozens of species of animals, as well as
more than 180 varieties of birds. For example, in the Kava-Chelomdzha area you
can see the red-listed eagle and osprey. In the Chelomji valley, the fish owl
nests at the northern limit of its range.
Guests not only observed the process but also asked the craftswomen about the meanings and the everyday life of the Khanty and Mansi peoples.
At the stand of the National Centre RUSSIA Department Store, a demonstration of Dymkovo toy painting took place.
Orenburg craftswomen have made their art famous worldwide, and the down shawl has become part of Russia's cultural code.
