Khabarovsk is one of the most vital cities in the Russian Far East. Perched on 3 giant hills, overlooking the mighty Amur river. Founded in 1858, today Khabarovsk is the biggest industrial and cultural center of the Russian Far East.

In general the architectural plan of the central part of Khabarovsk remains unchanged. Filled with parks and river walks, Khabarovsk is a city for strolling. The broad, tree-lined main avenue, Muraviev-Amurskiy street, is the most popular place for leisurely walking. Khabarovsk is also the major transportation hub for rail, air and waterways.
