#102 Russia
Kitai Gorod means China Town in Russian, however this area is in no way connected with China or Chinese. It is perhaps the most interesting area in Moscow, as it is the center of the city's club life and culture.
Most of the buildings here are a mix of traditional, 'art noveau', and monumental Soviet-era architecture. Kitai Gorod is a home to Lubyanka, where former KGB still resides; a favourite place to go out (with so many cafes, bars, and clubs); and just a nice area to walk around. Kitai Gorod is really tranquil, there are many small streets, interesting courtyards, a small green park and ponds. (source)
