In Ulan-Ude during the May weekend from May 1 to May 8, the festival of excursions “Khoto” is held. The event includes many educational and entertaining excursions of various types to the sights of the capital of Buryatia, according to the press service of the Ministry of Tourism of the Republic of Belarus.
For several days, walking, tram, panoramic excursions will be conducted, theaters, museums and temples will be visited. Gastronomic excursions, acquaintance with the work of masters, entertainment events are provided. The schedule can be found in more detail on the organizers’ website, where you can also register for participation.
The organizers note that people may know the history and culture of other regions and countries well, but they may not know their city and their land at all. The festival should help such townspeople to correct this gap.
The closing of the Khoto festival will take place on May 8 at 19.00. As a result of the excursions, the participants will get acquainted with the history of Ulan-Ude, its sights, and the culture of the peoples of Buryatia.
