🇷🇺 🌸On a sunny day, a boat takes you along a narrow waterway, with lotuses on both sides—a place that impresses with its beauty!

🔖 It's hard to believe, but the "Valley of Lotuses" was created manually by the Cossacks! Over 200 years ago, there was a problem with fresh water in this area.

💧 The issue was due to the presence of the salty Ahtanizovsky Liman. The locals dug a canal from the Kuban River to solve this pressing issue. It is at the point where the Kazachiy Eriс connects with the liman that lotuses grow.

📸 The valley blooms in Anapa (small resort town in Russia), from July to September. Therefore, for the best shot, it's ideal to come here early in the morning when the valley is covered in a light mist and dew appears on the flowers.

🛬 Passengers of an Air India plane that made an emergency landing in Krasnoyarsk are being fed specially prepared meals, showcasing Siberian hospitality.

🍚 🍖 Most of the tourists turned out to be vegans, so the chefs created a double menu — one with meat and one without. In the footage, Americans and Indians can be seen joyfully enjoying their hot meals.

"We specially prepare rice for them to eat. The first meal that was served overnight had a meat dish, and many refused it. So now we have slightly adjusted and are providing everyone with food," airport officials reported.
