Walking route of wish fulfillment
> Everyone has inner dreams, often born in childhood and accompanying them throughout their lives. Sometimes, following the inner call or influence of signs, people attach special importance to certain places and rituals, believing that this will help to attract luck, strengthen health or find family happiness.
Vladivostok is not just a city by the sea, but a real Place of Power. A walk along its iconic points allows not only to admire the sights, but also to make wishes, which, subject to a special order, will be fulfilled.

> On the alley, right among the paving slabs, stands a statue of the formidable Ussuri tiger - with scorched fangs and a powerful figure. It feels like he’s frozen when he jumps. The tiger in Primorye has been revered since ancient times: the Udegeans call it “Kuty Mafa” and believe that the spirit of the ancestor in this image accompanies and protects the hunter. They say that if you ask a tiger for help, it can bring good luck and health.

These mischievous kids have become not only favorites of residents and guests of Vladivostok, but also a symbol of care for wildlife. The sculptures appeared here thanks to WWF in 2013. It is believed that touching the ears of tiger cubs brings financial luck, and if you sit on their backs - it will have a positive effect on health.

> At the intersection of Admiral Fokina Street and Ocean Avenue stands a bronze young sailor in jeans-cloche, with plates under his arm and a pack of cigarettes in his pocket - as if he had just returned from a long voyage. According to legend, his raised thumb, with which he allegedly catches a taxi, has magical powers. Rub your finger and perhaps fortune will smile at you in finance or even in the game
