* Primorye Territory *

I live in Primorye Territory 11 years !
And i want to tell you about it a little bit...

Primorsky Krai (Primorye), is a world unto itself often described as Russia’s “Gateway to the Asian Pacific”. It’s a vast territory in the south of the Far East of Russia. In Russian Primorye means a piece of land near the sea, or seaside, the Maritime Province. It’s a place where North and South, Asia and Europe, huge continent and the greatest ocean meet. Primorye is a unique part of the world. Yes, it’s the truth. Primorye is one of the few places where the forests are still pristine, comparable in terms of passability to a tropical jungle. The matter is that the drama of the earth, great glaciation, avoided Primorye. That’s why you can find here many kinds of plants and animals that disappeared in other parts of the
world. Primorye is just like an island lost in time.

Picturesque mountains and plains, dissected with rivers and lakes, covered with taiga where Ussurian Tiger reigns. Unspoiled seacoast with sand beach, marine preserves and inimitable underwater world. Bubbling springs growing into crystal-clear trout-and-salmon-filled brooks cutting down toward river and sea, bays and inlets matchless in their dense concentrations of kelp, gamefish, scallops and other treasures of the sea. That is all Primorye.

The geographic location of Primorye accounts for the variety of its flora - there are the mountainous-tundra areas, conifers and coniferous-deciduous forests, forest-steppe which is called sometimes - the Far - Eastern Prariewhere the ancient plant species have been preserved. They are the Ferns, the Lotus, the Chozenia Willow, etc. The fauna of Primorye is also diverse. The following animals inhabit Primorye: the Ussuri Black Bear, the Ussuriisk Tiger, the Leopard, the Lynx, the Wild Boar, the Manchurian Deer, the Roe, the Musk Deer, Nemorhaedus Goral, the Sika Deer, the Sable, the Mandarinka-Duck , the Black Stork , the Scaly Goosander, the Japanese Starling, the Black Griffon, the Large-Winged Cuckoo and others.



 The average monthly temperature in January falls as low as -20˚C in the inland , and on the Southern coast the temperatures range from -10˚ to -13˚C. The absolute minimum temperatures are -31˚C in Vladivostok , - 46˚C in Ussuriysk, reaching -54˚C (haha, yes yes) mark registered in the North of the territory.




I like Primorye =)
