The best season to visit Dragon Park
In any case, whatever theory you give your preferences, it is difficult to deny the fact that there is no other similar place to find and it is definitely worth visiting here. Perhaps the best time to visit these places is the golden autumn (October). It is at this time that the forest is especially beautiful. Oaks, of which there are a huge number, acquire a yellow cap, with red maples and green cedars coexist. The road to Lazovsky district becomes very photogenic, being in the forest, you can not be afraid of ticks, but to climb to the top without suffering from summer humidity is a pleasure.
Climbing to the rocky remains will take about 1.5 hours along a pleasant forest path. Climbing to the top of the hill, the eyes are chained to two giant crests that resemble dragons. There are two mountain peaks available to visit, each with bizarre cliffs visible. Walking near the rocks, you can see the trace of a dragon, head and even small dragons. Some stones seem to be scattered by someone from the sky.
To come in search of dragons is at least two days, because on the way you can visit many interesting sights. If you leave Vladivostok, we recommend you to go on a trip as early as possible, because in autumn it gets dark already at 19:00. Before dusk, you need to find a place to spend the night.
