The Red Dragon Bridge
Russia, Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug, 71-100K-05
The Red Dragon Bridge is one of the visiting cards of the district capital.
It is perfectly visible at the entrance to the city from the west side and when the plane lands at Khanty-Mansiysk airport. The bridge is almost one and a half kilometers long and 15 meters high.
It is believed that it was from here that the liberation of the village of Samarovo from the dominance of the rebels by the Red Army began in 1921. However, the bridge received its name not in honor of the Red army, but because of the color of the metal structures. In addition, the architecture of the bridge really resembles the silhouette of a dragon arching its back.
By the way, to connect the two banks of the Irtysh, the specialists worked for two summer seasons. The uniqueness of the operation was that the finished spans were transported on barges in parts and the previously installed supports were immediately assembled. On September 20, 2004, the bridge was put into operation. The bridge shortened the route along the Northern Latitudinal Highway by 1,250 kilometers.

Stele-memorial sign "to the discoverers of the land of Ugra»
Khanty-Mansiysk, the passage of the Discoverers, d 1
The place where the stele is located-a memorial sign to The "discoverers of the land of Ugra", is considered the highest point of Khanty-Mansiysk. It is from here that you can enjoy a panoramic bird's-eye view of the historical part of the city – Samarovo and the Irtysh river. This mountain reaches a height of 110 meters and is called the Commissar.
The monument, designed by Moscow architect and muralist Karen Saprichyan, was erected here in 2003. According to the author, it should resemble the Khanty chum, the Cossack observation tower and an oil rig.
That is why the stele is a three-sided pyramid. Its height is 62 meters. On each of the faces there is a relief panel that symbolizes different epochs: the ancient period of development of Ugra, the era of the conquest of Siberia by Yermak and the moment when the mass development of oil and gas fields began.
By the way, this is the only stele in the area that can be exploited. Inside it is divided into three levels with the interior in the style of hi-tech. It uses the theme of water as a symbol of changing time and life. The building itself is made of glass and granite. At night, it is beautifully lit – there are more than 100 color programs that create up to 1000 different shades. Therefore, the building is clearly visible even from the embankment.
The upper observation deck inside the building is not functioning now. However, you can also enjoy the city view from the street platform. It also offers an incredible panorama. In summer, it is one of the best places in the city to watch the sunset.
Khanty-Mansiysk
«Faberge Egg» Fountain
Few people know that in 2007, the sixth exhibition of the famous master's collection «Faberge lost and found» was held in Khanty-Mansiysk. Nine unique Easter eggs and other works of the jeweler were so inspired that a themed fountain appeared in the city. One of the most elegant and artfully brought to life.
The Faberge egg is the only structure of its kind in the country. You won't find anything like this anywhere else. The fountain was installed on the territory of the art Center for gifted children of the North. The place was chosen not by chance, because the building has a symbolic meaning-it means creativity, which is the basis of all the arts.
The 6-meter-high egg is decorated with a glass mosaic with the national Ugra ornament. And the bronze bowl is interspersed with pieces of smalt. These ornaments, combined with foamy and smooth water jets, create the illusion of precious stones. The fountain literally shimmers in the sun. Well, in the dark, the amazing work is illuminated by architectural lighting. Whenever you come to the fountain, the eye will be happy, and the photos will be really beautiful.
