Tomsk: The ancient and new chapters of Siberia.

Tomsk, a shining cultural city in Russia's Siberia, carries the accumulation of years and modern vitality, and stands out in the vast land. The long river of history has endowed it with a sense of heaviness. Since the city was founded in 1604, many well-preserved ancient buildings have become living history books. The onion domes of the churches shine under the blue sky, and the stained glass and murals inside tell religious stories and display artistic attainments; the wooden houses are simple and solid, and the unique carvings contain folk ingenuity. The cobblestone streets in the streets have witnessed countless footsteps, and the lingering charm of past commerce and folk activities is long-lasting. Academic research is its new business card. Tomsk State University is the "academic flagship" of Siberia. It gathers top scholars and has excellent laboratories. It focuses on cutting-edge fields such as materials science and polar research. It has frequent international exchanges, and students acquire knowledge and explore the unknown. Academic thoughts surge and sparks of wisdom collide, laying a key position for the city in Russia's scientific research landscape. In winter, wrapped in extreme cold, dog sleds race across the snow, traditional markets are filled with handicrafts and warm furs, and the atmosphere of fireworks blends with the wonders of ice and snow, showing Tomsk's unique charm.
