Topographic Feature and Characteristics

Primorski Territory has broad plains along its western border by the Ussuri River and Lake Xingkai. The area is the most southerly of the Russian Far Eastern territories in Taiga Zone and the most northerly in subtropic zone. This fact determines rich flora and fauna, landscape variety, warm sea in the south, curing water springs and thus ensures tourism development in the region.
