SIGHTSEEING

Khanka lake


Lake Khanka is a unique natural pearl located on the border of Russia and China in the Primorsky Territory. It is the largest freshwater lake in the Russian Far East, covering an area of more than 4,000 square kilometers. Lake Khanka is not only valuable for its natural beauty, but also for the wealth of flora and fauna that make it an important natural site and tourist destination.
 

The history of the formation of Lake Khanka goes back to the distant past, about 12 thousand years ago, when glaciers retreated and formed a large reservoir. Its bowl-shaped bottom and unique microclimate have contributed to the formation of a rich biodiversity, which makes this place especially interesting for scientists and researchers. The lake is fed by numerous rivers and small reservoirs, which maintains its level and purity of waters.
 

The flora of Lake Khanka is striking in its diversity. The shores of the lake are framed by dense thickets of reeds, reeds and other aquatic plants, forming a kind of aquatic maze. The floodplain forests surrounding the lake are home to rare species of trees and shrubs, which find ideal conditions for growth here due to the humid climate and fertile soils.
 

The fauna of the lake is no less rich. Khanka is home to hundreds of species of fish, birds and mammals. Rare species such as the Far Eastern turtle and the Japanese crane live here, which makes the lake an important object in international nature conservation systems. A large number of birds, including migratory birds, choose these nesting sites, attracting ornithologists and nature lovers from all over the world.
 

Lake Khanka also has great economic importance. Fishing is one of the main industries in this region, and locals have been fishing for a long time. The fish-rich waters also attract numerous tourists who are happy to come here for fishing and enjoying nature.
 

Tourism on Lake Khanka is developing rapidly. The infrastructure is gradually improving, and visitors come here not only from Russia, but also from neighboring China. Guests are attracted by the opportunity to see unique natural phenomena, engage in eco-tourism, as well as try local cuisine based on fresh fish and other products produced in these parts.
 

Special attention is paid to the preservation of natural heritage on the lake. In 1976, in accordance with the Ramsar Convention, this territory was granted the status of wetlands of international importance. In 1990, the Khankai State Nature Reserve was established here, which included part of the water area, as well as floodplain, floodplain and delta lakes of its coasts. A little earlier, in 1986, the Shinkai-Hu Nature Reserve was established on the Chinese side of the lake. In April 1996, Russia and China concluded an intergovernmental agreement on the establishment of the international Russian-Chinese reserve "Lake Khanka" on the basis of the Russian Khankai Reserve and the Chinese Shinkai-Hu Reserve. This allows you to preserve rare animals and plants in their natural environment and provide future generations with the opportunity to touch the unsolved mysteries of nature.
 

It is impossible to overestimate the importance of Lake Khanka for the region. It combines natural beauty, wealth of resources and cultural heritage, creating unique opportunities for exploration and recreation. Combining ancient history, a variety of wildlife and modern development, Lake Khanka remains one of the most attractive places to visit in the Far East.
