Moskovskaya embankment in Cheboksary, which until recently looked boring and unkempt, after three stages of reconstruction within the framework of the federal targeted program for the development of tourism, has changed and has become one of the favorite vacation spots for citizens and guests of Chuvashia. But this is not the end. In accordance with the plans of the city leadership, the improvement work will continue.
Square named after K. Ivanov
This quiet and cozy place appeared on the embankment a long time ago. The crowns of the trees have grown and give a lot of coolness, blue spruces stretch upwards. The bust of Konstantin Ivanov, the famous Chuvash poet who wrote the poem "Narspi", is installed on the platform of the stairs near the river.
In the square on the Moscow embankment of Cheboksary there is the Alley of Lovers, where newlyweds come to take wedding photos and walk along the colorful flower beds. This is the place where people who like to read outdoors gather. There is an electronic library bench in the park. It is enough to scan the QR code from the information desk at the entrance to your smartphone, and youget access to any piece of Chuvash or world classics.
The square will not be boring for those who like not to read, but to watch. The city administration plans to organize small theatrical performances that will acquaint visitors of the square with the work of Ivanov and other writers.
