彼得霍夫宮

俄羅斯聖彼得堡夏宮又稱彼得宮，位於芬蘭灣南岸靜謐的森林中，佔地面積四百多公頃。夏宮華麗奢華，是聖彼得堡早期的建築，第二次世界大戰後進行了修復，被聯合國教科文組織列為《世界遺產名錄》。

在俄羅斯普及大學不是空話，不象我們國家，是說給人聽的，說的多好聽，“再窮不能窮教育”，該撥錢時沒錢，該買車時多少錢都有。在俄羅斯文化氛圍很濃，街頭賣畫的磕頭碰腦，到處都是博物館和書店，在中國買不到的書，可能在莫斯科能夠買到。

介紹它之前先讓我吐槽一下這個破地方，氣死了氣死了，外國人門票1200p！而且1200p還只是進這個公園的價錢，如果想要参觀宮殿博物館，還得另付1500p，氣死了氣死了，俄羅斯人只要600+600p。按道理應該憑學生證是有打折的，但是那天問了外國人就是沒。從市區打車過來還花了我們1000p，單程。最後我們就参觀了一下公園，在百度圖片逛了一下宮殿內部

Peterhof Summer Palace, built in 1710, is the place where the Tsar lived, similar to Chengde Summer Resort in China. The first place where Peter the Great lived temporarily to supervise the construction of the Harbor of Karangstadt was a cabin. Later, Peter the Great liked the place and built a palace there. The Summer Palace is also known as the Fountain Capital. There are more than 60 fountain pools made of pure gold in the garden, and there are complex fountain pipeline systems. Today, the Summer Palace has become a complex of palace gardens in the 18th and 19th centuries. Because of its magnificent architecture, the Summer Palace is known as "Versailles of Russia". From the gate to the upper garden, it consists of three fountains, which can be visited without tickets. Walk along the road until you get to the back of the palace. It is important to note that the team enters from the back of the palace. Individuals must go around the front door of the palace and buy the garden ticket before they can buy the palace ticket. The Grand Palace is smaller and less luxurious than the Yekaterina Palace, and photographs are not allowed inside. The real highlight of the Summer Palace is the fountain in the garden. After visiting the Grand Palace, I came out of the main entrance and took a few steps forward to the most spectacular golden waterfall fountain. Walking down the fountain, there is a main road in the center called "Sea Avenue". There are many paths on both sides to the fountains and museums. Along the sea avenue, you can walk to the Baltic Sea. There is a wharf for tourists to take a cruise boat back to the city center. It takes about 40 minutes. The stopping place is usually near the Winter Palace. Unfortunately, on the day we went, it was rainy and windy, and we didn't get on board. We had to exchange the metro and go back to the city centre. The journey was one hour and 45 minutes. Lower garden ticket 750 rubles per person, Grand Palace ticket 700 rubles per person, visit the Grand Palace for about 2 hours, visit the lower garden for about 1 hour.

1:There are too many people going today, almost pushing people in. It is suggested to go out of season. 2:There are many original paintings, the portrait of Peter the Great, the portrait of Yekaterina I and her descendants, and 3:There was a room not exploded during World War II. It is well preserved. 4:There are many fountains in the garden. It is beautiful. 5:Driving from the city to the Summer Palace is about an hour, 50km. 6:Suggestion Chartered tours cost about 1,600 RMB for 5 hours, 15,000 roubles, including tickets, trains and professional tour guides. Professional tour guides will explain much better.

鐵2號線2站，轉1號線4站，出了地鐵站，企鵝去門口的報刊亭詢問，還沒等她開口，報亭裏面的人就知道她問什麼了，向前指了指方向。也許是因為聖彼得堡是個旅遊城市，也許是聖彼得堡的城市大小剛剛好，也許是我們已經適應這種文盲狀態，反正感覺比在莫斯科自在多了，精神也鬆弛下來了。到地鐵出口的對面坐公交車，我們剛從地下通道出來，就有人來拉客，統一標價是70盧布，給我們優惠65盧布。小巴K424路，駕駛員兼買票的，給他看夏宮的照片，他點頭表示對的，大約30分鐘路程。我們也不知道要坐幾站，也沒報站的，當然報站也聽不懂，我們估摸着快到了，問乘客，兩個乘客還爭起來了，因為一個說還有兩站，一個說還有三站。然後一個大媽堅持讓我們下車了，司機的意思還要前面一站，後來我們想，夏宮肯定很大，所以公交車也會有多個站點。我們一下車，發現是免費的一個公園，企鵝反應過來是夏宮的上花園。彼得大帝夏宮(Peter the Great''s Summer Palace)，又稱“俄羅斯夏宮”、“彼得宮”。它位於芬蘭灣南岸的森林中，它距聖彼得堡市約30公里，佔地近千公頃，由瑞士人多梅尼克·特列吉尼設計，是歷代俄國沙皇的郊外離宮，也是聖彼得堡的早期建築。夏宮（Petrodvorets）9:00am至8:00pm，上花園免費、下花園500盧布，大宮殿，550盧布。用英語跟售票員說夏宮一定要說Peterhof，說summer palace人家不懂。彼得宮城有俄羅斯的凡爾賽宮之稱。一到聖彼得堡一到夏宮，我們看到了色彩斑斕的俄羅斯郊區和鄉村風光，相對於教堂和博物院，我們對於自然景色更有心理上的認同感，所有的俄羅斯民歌都在耳邊響起，在風吹麥浪的歌聲里，我們邁着輕盈的腳步，踩在沙沙作響的落恭弘=叶 恭弘上，樹林跳躍着松鼠，我們慢慢走到了芬蘭灣。

夏宮距離聖彼得堡約29公里。它分為下花園（lower park）、宮殿（grand palace）和上花園（upper garden）3個部分。最值得觀賞的是下花園的噴泉群。夏宮（彼得宮）是一座兩層高的石樓。面向下花園和大海。下花園是彼得宮正面的噴泉群，以grand cascade為中心，兩側對稱分佈，中央為海水運河（sea canal），直通海濱。下花園內有寬闊的草坪、花園、擁有相當多的噴泉與雕像，是夏宮花園的最大特色。其中最為著名的噴泉群叫the Grand Cascade ，包括64個姿色各異的噴泉、200多個青銅雕像（表面鍍金？）及無數的浮雕等。數千個噴柱，不停地向藍天噴放出水柱，形成瀑布和千姿百態的造型，令人目不暇接，還有幽靜、高大的森林，更使人流連忘返。噴泉群中央的噴泉雕像是俄國新一代雕刻師Mikhail Ivanovich Kozlovsk的 Samson搏獅像（1801），最粗水柱高達20米，Samson（傳說中的大力士）, 徒手奮力撕開獅子（瑞典軍隊的象徵）的血盆大口，以紀念1709年6月27的的The Battle of Poltava，彼得大帝領軍的俄國軍隊戰勝了瑞典查理十二世領導的瑞典軍隊，取得北方戰爭中的決定性的勝利，奠定了俄國歐洲強國的地位。
