Remnants of that time are the destroyed camp, towers, a bridge - wooden buildings have been partially preserved to this day. Thanks to the cold climate, some household items have also survived: metal utensils, stoves.
A memorial plate to the climbers who took part in the development of the mine was installed on the territory.
Today this building is a museum, but once there was the Archangel Michael Church. It was founded in 1776 and is located in Chita. The museum was opened in 1985.
The building is made of wood and is the oldest in Chita. The collection of the museum includes documents, books, letters, household items, personal belongings of the Decembrists who were exiled to Siberia. In total, there are about 900 museum exhibits, including Bestuzhev's table and clock, Volkonskaya's casket. The transfer of the building to the museum is also connected with the fact that the Decembrists used to get married in the church, and the Volkonskys' daughter was buried next to the church.
Cauldron Stone, Maliy Bator and Big Bator
This rock is also called Togon Shuluun or the Chalice of Genghis Khan. The object is located in the Aginsky region and is a 4-meter high rocky outlier of natural origin. The rock got its name due to its external resemblance to a tripod - an old pot.

ZABAIKALSKY REGION: FIGURES AND FACTS
The Trans-Baikal Territory is a constituent entity of the Russian Federation located in eastern Transbaikalia and part of the Siberian Federal District. It borders on the Amur and Irkutsk regions, the republics of Buryatia and Yakutia, has an external border with China and Mongolia. The territory of the region is 431, 892 km, which is 2, 53% of the area of Russia (12th place in this indicator in the Russian Federation). The population is 1 106 600 people. The Trans-Baikal Territory was formed on March 1, 2008 as a result of the unification of the Chita Region and the Aginsky Buryat Autonomous Okrug. The administrative center is the city of Chita. The most populated cities are Chita, Krasnokamensk and Borzya.
Climate
The region is characterized by a peculiar climate - sharply continental. Winter is long, dry and harsh, comparable to the Yakut one: the weather is frosty, slightly cloudy, calm. Summers are short and warm (sometimes even hot), but cool in the mountainous and northern regions. In spring, storms and snowstorms are possible, and the main precipitation falls from April to October. There are significant fluctuations in daily and annual temperatures, in some areas the spread is 90 degrees or more (average January temperature: -28.3 degrees; July: +19 degrees) degrees. The frost-free period is 80-140 days. We add that a characteristic feature of the climate is a significant number of sunny days per year, comparable to the south of Russia.
Economy
The Trans-Baikal Territory is very rich in various mineral resources and has relatively favorable conditions for agricultural activities. Direct transport access to the markets of the Asia-Pacific region provides a serious economic advantage. However, the progressive development of the region is hampered by the harsh natural and climatic conditions, the increased natural background radiation, high seismicity, and the dissection of the relief. For the regional economy, the implementation of a project to create a transport infrastructure for the development of rich mineral resources in the southeast of the region is of great importance.
Industry
The main industries are mining (mining of molybdenum, tin, lead-zinc and uranium ores, gold, coal), wood processing, ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy, and electric power.
Agriculture
The Trans-Baikal Territory is a large agricultural region specializing in fine-wool sheep breeding. Meat and meat and dairy production, poultry farming, pig breeding are actively developing. The climatic conditions of the central, southern and southeastern regions make it possible to successfully practice crop production.
Tourist attraction
The Trans-Baikal Territory has the richest variety of flora and fauna, this is a godsend for tourists who prefer pristine nature and ecologically clean rest. The most fastidious will find rest to their liking: the region has mountains, northern desert, taiga forest, steppes, and deep rivers. History lovers will have plenty of food for thought in ancient cities. But first things first.
The mountains
The region is dominated by medium-altitude mountains (700-1000 meters). There are also peaks - the Kodar ridges in the north reach 2,999 meters, and in the south, Mount Barun-Shabarshui rises to 2,519 meters.
Forest
The natural diversity is amazing. These are taiga, forest, forest-steppe and even tundra.
Bodies of water
The Trans-Baikal Territory has a unique natural landmark: the Great Istok is located here, the place where the fresh waters of the entire planet are divided! Fresh water streams go to the Yenisei, Lena, Amur, Pacific and Arctic oceans and, of course, to the pearl of the Earth - Lake Baikal. The Baikal basin includes the right tributaries of the Selenga River - the Khilok and Chikoy rivers. And the Shilka and Argun Rivers merge into the powerful Amur. Of the most significant waterways, the Olekma and Vitim rivers (its tributaries - Karenga, Kalakan, Kalar) can be noted. The people of Transbaikal are rightfully proud of the whole collection of lakes. Bolshoye Leprindo, Leprindokan, Nichatka, for example, are children of the Ice Age. Popular places of rest are the unique salt-marsh lake Nozhiy, Ivano-Arakhleyskie lakes, Arey. Lake Kenon is located in the regional capital, right within the city limits.
Mineral springs and mineralized lakes
The fact that Transbaikalia is rich in healing waters was known even in tsarist Russia. Mineral springs differ in composition: from thermal nitrogen to cold carbon dioxide, low and medium mineralization. Many of them have health resorts - the resorts of Yamarovka, Shivanda, Darasun, Molokovka, Kuka, Yamkun, Aksha and many others.
Protected places
The region is rich in natural monuments, relict dwarf oaks, giants-cedars grow here, there are unique ecosystems (for example, Charsky Sands is a real desert in the middle of the taiga). To preserve nature in its original form, reserves and parks have been created: "Daursky", "Sokhondinsky", the national park "Alkhanay", 20 reserves. Soon there will be a natural park "Arey", work is underway to build the Chikoysky National and Kodarsky Parks.
Buddhist shrines
It is believed that Transbaikalia is a place prayed for by Buddhists. Most of the shrines are located on the territory of the Aginsky Buryat District: sacred mountains, o (Alkhanaysky, Adon-Chelonsky, Bolshebatoskiy). There are datsans (Aginsky, Tsugolsky, Ivolginsky and many others). Buryats very carefully preserve centuries-old traditions and customs. For tourists interested in ancient religion, this is a real Mecca. It will be interesting for the uninitiated.
Story cities
As you know, Transbaikalia is an exiled land. The Decembrists, who significantly influenced the course of the history of the region, left their bright mark. Chita, Nerchinsk, Sretensk, Petrovsk-Zabaikalsky and other cities cherish their memory. Houses, furnishings, records, photographs have been preserved. The region also has a centuries-old history of the Cossacks.
Summing up, we note that tourists have a large selection of directions: ecological (mountain, hiking, cycling and water sports tourism), cultural, educational, health-improving, religious, hunting and fishing.
Fabulous, unreal, bizarre, striking in their beauty - each of them is like a work of art embodied in reality.
The beautiful is near. The journalist of the newspaper "Zabaikalsky Rabochy" brings to your attention a selection of the most beautiful places of Transbaikalia, where you should visit.
At any time of the year, the forests of Transbaikalia are a work of art of Nature. In our region there are both pine forests and mixed forests, where you can find larch, aspen, birch and shrubs, and at the end of March - snowdrops covering our fields with a blue carpet. However, our forest becomes truly beautiful in late April - early May, when the Daurian rhododendron, or wild rosemary, as the inhabitants of the region affectionately call the shrub, blooms everywhere with a pink fire. It is listed in the Red Book and is rightfully considered one of the wonders of Transbaikalia.
It is worth special attention. Each lake has a unique, in its own way special beauty and charm, so we recommend visiting each of them.
Arakhley is the largest lake in the Ivano-Arakhlei system of lakes, distinguished by the greatest depth - in some places it reaches 20 meters. The bottom and the beach of the lake are sandy, and in summer there is a real full house on the shores of Arakhley. In the lake you can find perches, pikes and chebaks, which makes the lake a favorite place for fishermen. Anyway, having been there at least once, I want to return there again and again. And what kind of sunsets are there ...
Lake Shakshinskoe, or Shaksha
The second largest lake of the Ivano-Arakhlei system after Arakhley with sandy shores and well-warming water. The waters of Shaksha are inhabited by roach, perch, dace, pike, crucian carp, peled, bream, carp and catfish. Due to the abundance of fish and warm water in summer, the lake welcomes guests all year round, allowing us to admire its unique beauty.
Another lake of this system. Of all the names of the lakes in the Trans-Baikal Territory, the most noteworthy is the origin of the lake with a completely Russian name Ivan. According to legend, in order to deceive the evil spirits that take away children's lives, the parents tried to choose names that were unusual and unusual for the Buryats. And so, near one of the lakes lived Buryats Munko Udoev, whose children often died. Trying to preserve the offspring, the father named his next son Ivan. Tradition says that just at that time a disgraced priest named Ivan was wandering by the lake. Munko's son grew up and turned out to be more fortunate than his father, raising ten sons. The children grew up and began to live around the lake, which people called Ivan-Nuur, that is, Ivan-lake.
On the territory of the Trans-Baikal Territory, there is a unique national park, which is a monument of cultural heritage and home to endemic species of plants and animals. On the territory of this park, you can find more than 120 species of various animals, some of which are listed in the Red Book - such as the black stork, bustard and golden eagle. The complex includes more than 20 cultural sites, among which the most famous and revered are Maanin Shuluun (stone stele with a carved Tibetan text of the mantra), Dimchig Sume (Temple of God Dimchig - the owner of the mountain), Nara Hajad (Heavenly Musician), Uuden Sume (Temple of the Gate) , Dorje Pagmyn Sume (Temple of the Diamond Queen - the wife of the owner of the mountain), "The Sinners' Crevice", Ekhyn Umai (Mother's Womb), Zurkhen Shuluun (Stone Heart), Khoreo Shuluun (Stone Fence) and many others. One of the most important natural and cult sites is the summit of Alkhanay. The walking route throughout the park takes about 5 days.

, surrounded by pine forests, located at an altitude of 966 meters above sea level, characterized by magnificent landscapes. The waters of the lake have healing properties - they contain potassium, silicic acid, bromine, fluorine, lithium and other active elements. The work carried out by the Chita doctors showed that the waters and muds of the Areya have an excellent therapeutic effect and are indicated for the treatment of dermatitis and trophic ulcers. Currently, the mud is used by the Molokovka sanatorium.
5. Karpovskie rapids, upper river. Karpovka
Stunning stone rapids and frothing ice-cold water reminiscent of milk - this miracle can be seen with your own eyes, having visited the Karpovsky rapids. The waters of the Karpovka River have a constant temperature of -2 degrees Celsius and do not warm up even in summer.
One of the many rivers of Transbaikalia, cutting through the Chersky ridge, with a turbulent current and cold water, in which you can see grayling galloping on the rapids. In the upper reaches of Nikishikha there is a zoological reserve, and where the river passes through the ridge, a climbing wall has recently been built, where you can go with your family and, under the guidance of experienced instructors, conquer the rocks of the ridge.
Archaeological site of the Trans-Baikal Territory during the early Paleozoic. Local historians claim that this place owes its name to an unhappy officer by the name of Sukhotin, who was brought to the top of the formidable rocks by alcohol and unhappy love. He threw himself down and crashed against the stones, which Ingoda sharpens day and night, and a group of rocks and a section of the forest around were called Sukhotino. In order to visit there, it is enough to take a minibus to the Klyuchi plant and go up the river down the slope. All beauty is on the cliff. The rocks are piled above Ingoda to a height of 100 meters, and sitting on the top you can watch the slow and measured flow of the river, hear its quiet distant lapping, enjoy the view of the hills and breathe the cleanest air.
The widest, deepest river flowing in the Chita region. It is a pleasure to observe her changeable character - in some places she demonstrates a stormy disposition, quickly running along the rifts, and somewhere slowly and calmly carries her waters in a mirror-like surface so that the current is almost imperceptible. Ingoda is beautiful at any time of the year, the photo is captured in the winter tranquility of sleeping under a thick cover of an ice blanket.
