Beach holidays in the Far East: resorts of the Primorsky Territory of Russia. Holidays on the Pacific coast of Russia Holiday destinations in the Far East

The Russian coast of the Pacific Ocean stretches from north to south for thousands of kilometers - from the Bering Strait to the Kuril Islands. The nature of the Far East strikes with a variety of natural zones - arctic deserts, tundras, coniferous forests, coniferous-birch forests, coniferous-deciduous forests and even subtropical forests in the very south. The Far East seems to most residents of other regions of Russia to be an eternally cold land. Yes, the north, Chukotka is an arctic desert, but the south of Primorsky Krai is located at the latitude of Abkhazia. The following Far Eastern regions are located on the Pacific coast: Chukotka on the coast of the Bering Sea, the Kamchatka Peninsula, washed by the waters of the Bering Sea, the Sea of Okhotsk and the Pacific Ocean, the Magadan Region and the Khabarovsk Territory, overlooking the Sea of Okhotsk, Sakhalin Island also in the Sea of \u200b\u200bOkhotsk and Primorsky Territory, with access to the Sea of Japan. The nature, climate, flora and fauna, attractions and opportunities of these regions are so diverse that each needs to be discussed separately.

Chukotka is located in the very north of the Pacific coast. This is a very large, remote and harsh region of our country, which is almost entirely located beyond the Arctic Circle. There are only two seasons here - a short summer and winter, which lasts almost ten months. There is a polar night and a polar day here. The local relief is mainly plateaus, over which high mountain ranges rise.

The Kamchatka Peninsula has an area of about 470,000 km², its length is 1200 km and several European countries can fit on its territory. There are more than 300 volcanoes in Kamchatka, including 36 active ones, as well as the famous Valley of Geysers. Kamchatka has a mild maritime climate with a slight temperature difference from +13°C in July to -16°C in January. In the eastern part of the island, the weather is very changeable and changes frequently. Summers here are very cool, with frequent rains and fogs, and winters are quite mild with numerous thaws. It is coldest in the center of the peninsula. There are no severe frosts on the coast. There is a lot of precipitation here - up to 260 cm per year on the east coast.

In the Magadan region, the duration of winter is from six to eight months. Winter is frosty. Snow lies from the beginning of December to the end of May. In winter, there are often strong winds, and snow drifts sometimes reach enormous sizes. Summer lasts two months, but nature has time to bloom. The seasons change quickly with rain, snow, frequent storms and fog.

On the coast of the Khabarovsk Territory, the climate is temperate. Influenced by the close sea and relief. The autumn-winter period is long. The natural conditions are influenced by the proximity of the sea and the nature of the relief. Away from the coast, the climate is more severe - the temperature in winter can reach minus 30 - 40 degrees. In summer - + 15 - +25.

The climate of Sakhalin is temperate monsoon. However, the weather, regardless of the time of year, differs significantly in the north and south of the island. Summers are very humid with frequent rainfall. On the west coast, it is warmer in summer due to the proximity of the Tsushima Current.

Winter is cold with heavy snowfalls, in the south there are also powerful snowstorms and hurricane winds. The island is separated from the mainland by the Tatar Strait, and from the Japanese Islands by the La Perouse Strait. There are mountains in the south and extreme north of Sakhalin, and lowlands between them.

The coast of Primorsky Krai faces the Sea of Japan, so the climate there is humid and monsoonal. The weather in winter is cold, up to -15 degrees, there is little snow. Spring is overcast with fog and rain. Summer is cloudy with showers and showers. Autumn in Primorye is called "golden" - the weather is dry, warm and sunny. The cold comes in early November.

Nature

The nature of all regions of the Pacific coast of Russia is very diverse.

Chukotka is located in the zone of tundra, forest-tundra and deciduous taiga. Almost half of the area is occupied by high-mountain tundras, stone deserts and semi-deserts. However, more than nine hundred species of higher plants grow in Chukotka, including a large number of flowers, more than four hundred species of mosses and lichens. More than 400 species of fish are found in the Bering Sea, and fifty of them are commercial. Also commercial are four types of crabs, four types of shrimps and two types of mollusks. Up to thirty species of fish live in freshwater inland waters - salmon, char, whitefish, grayling, smelt, broad whitefish and burbot. Many birds - about 220 species - ducks, geese, swans. On the shore there are "bird markets" - guillemots, eiders and gulls. A variety of animals - white and brown bears, reindeer, sable, lynx, wolf, arctic fox, wolverine, ermine, hare, fox, mink and others. There are walruses, seals and whales in the sea.

In Kamchatka, nature has been preserved almost in its original form. This is a country of volcanoes, alpine meadows, taiga and tundra, mountains, valleys and sea bays. The nature of the peninsula is unique. In winter frosts, flowers bloom and grass turns green near the hot springs, and in hot summers, snow caps remain on the tops of extinct volcanoes. The rivers in Kamchatka are born in glaciers, so they are clean and transparent, fish come to spawn in them. Grass grows taller than human height. The shores of the peninsula are indented by countless bays. There are various animals and plants in the forests, among which the Kamchatka bear is the most famous.

In the Magadan region, most of the territory is occupied by mountains and highlands of medium height. Cold winds blow here all year round. On the coast, the conditions are more moderate, but in the interior of the region the climate is continental. Winter on the coast lasts about 5.5 months, inside the continent up to 7.5 months. Frosts are up to - 50 °, heavy snow. The average July temperature is +12°. Due to the harsh conditions, there are not very many animal species, and they all have thick fur. Ermine, white hare, wild reindeer, brown bear, fox, wolf, wolverine, elk, lynx, chipmunks, lemmings, arctic foxes and other animals live here. In winter, there are few birds, only partridges and snowy owls are visible. In spring, ducks fly to the lakes, and "bird markets" form on the coast. There are many fish in the rivers and lakes.

The relief of the Khabarovsk Territory is mainly mountainous - more than sixty percent of the territory is occupied by slopes and mountain ranges. The climate is moderate. Winters are quite cold, but summers are long and hot. Picturesque landscape, many species of rare plants. Maple, fir, oak, Dahurian rhododendron, eleutherococcus and pointed yew grow.

Foxes, wolves, lynx, Amur tiger, Manchurian hare, red deer, roe deer, brown and Himalayan bears, deer, wild boars, elk, musk deer are found in the forests. From fur-bearing animals there are squirrel, wolverine, weasel, muskrat, otter. various birds - capercaillie, nutcrackers, waxwings, white partridges, pheasants. On reservoirs - geese, mergansers, ducks. There are even Indian cuckoo, Ussuri pheasant, blue flycatcher, gray and stone thrush.

Most of Sakhalin Island is covered with taiga forests. This taiga is unique in species diversity - about two hundred species of plants. The island's main plant is the Gmelin larch. A unique feature of the local flora is a combination of southern and northern plants. In the south of the island, you can see tropical lianas, larch, hornbeams, cherries together. Elder and mountain ash among polar birches, lemongrass and rhododendron are near spruces, cedars are adjacent to cork trees. Violent mixture - firs and flowering hydrangeas, wild rose, aralia, honeysuckle in thickets of tall ferns. Animals are the same as on the mainland: weasels, ermines, brown bears, three species of foxes, hares, squirrels, river otters, musk deer. There are up to seven hundred (!) species of birds here - guillemots, puffins, hatchets, gulls, geese, mallards, pebbles, pintails, long-tailed ducks. Swans live on the most remote lakes of the island. Sakhalin is home to one of the largest fur seal rookeries in the world. Sea otters and several species of seals live. Sperm whales, killer whales, beluga whales, blue whales often come to the shores.

The nature of Primorsky Krai is incredibly rich and diverse; about 250 species of trees and shrubs and more than 4,000 species of plants grow here. Primorsky Krai is unique in the number of plants that are not found anywhere else - Amur velvet, shrub birch, aralia, Komarov's lotus. More than two thirds of the region is occupied by taiga. Thanks to the mountainous relief, seven altitudinal belts were formed, different in the composition of trees and plants. In Primorye, species of different geographical origins coexist - these are species of the Manchurian fauna, plants of the subtropics and Siberia. There are many Red Book species in the region, including the famous Amur tigers.

How to get there?

You can get to Chukotka only by plane. It is possible in the summer by sea from Vladivostok, but on a dry cargo ship. You can fly to Chukotka through three airports: to Anadyr from Moscow. From Anadyr there are local flights of local airlines. The second airport is Pevek. From here, helicopter flights to the villages of the Chaunsky district, to Cape Schmidt, as well as air transport to Anadyr. To Bilibino from Magadan on the medium-haul AN-24.

Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky is located at a distance of 11876 km from Moscow, you can only fly by plane. Flights from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Samara, Novosibirsk, Magadan, Krasnoyarsk, Vladivostok, Khabarovsk and Irkutsk, as well as from the USA and China.

The capital of the Magadan region can be reached by plane, car and water transport. There is no railway to Magadan. The most convenient way is by plane, there are regular flights from Moscow, Novosibirsk, Vladivostok, Khabarovsk, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and Krasnodar. You can also get there by car, but it is long and risky, the weather can make the road impassable.

The flight from Moscow to Khabarovsk takes seven to eight hours. Trains also run from Khabarovsk to Vladivostok, Blagoveshchensk, Moscow, Komsomolsk-on-Amur, trains from Penza, Novokuznetsk, Sovetskaya Gavan and other cities pass through Khabarovsk. Khabarovsk is crossed by federal highways "Amur" and "Ussuri", regional P454. But the distance from Moscow is 8300 km and the trip will be very difficult.

The easiest way to Vladivostok is by plane, however, it still takes nine hours. Flights will be the most diverse, not only from Moscow. The airport is 38 km from the city, Vladivostok can be reached by bus, taxi or train. A fast train travels from Moscow to Vladivostok for six days. You can also get there by car, but it is 10,000 km and ten days of travel and it is advisable to go in a group of cars.

The most convenient way to Sakhalin is a direct flight from Moscow or St. Petersburg. There are also four passenger airports on Sakhalin, regular flights depart from them: (from Moscow - 131 hours of travel), then in Khabarovsk take a train to Vanino station (about 1 day), from Vanino by ferry to Sakhalin. There is an option to Vanino by road - from Moscow to Khabarovsk, then 509 km through Lidoga to Vanino. In Vanino, you can take a ferry along with a car.

Internal message

In Chukotka, good roads are only in the cities of Anadyr and Egvikinot. There are roads in the cities of Blibino and Pevek. Between the settlements the roads are only unpaved, mostly winter roads. In summer, not on all-terrain vehicles, you can confidently drive on good dirt roads in small areas between cities and towns - satellites - 20 to 40 kilometers. Other local communications - by helicopters from three local airports.

There are no railways on the Kamchatka Peninsula, there are very few roads, but they are quite good. The main highway of Kamchatka runs from north to south from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky to Ust-Kamchatsky. Several roads depart from the highway, connecting it with cities and towns of the peninsula. Most of the attractions are located near the Kamchatka capital, so there are no problems with the roads.

The road network in the Magadan region is poorly developed. The federal highway "Kolyma" passes through the territory of the region - connecting Yakutia and Magadan, with a total length of 2000 kilometers, of which 1200 km are in Yakutia, and 834 km in the Magadan region.

In the Khabarovsk Territory, the road network is concentrated mainly in the south. The length of motor roads is more than 6,000 km, of which 97% are paved roads. Along with the Ussuri and Amur federal highways, a network of regional roads has been developed. The length of railways, including sections of the Trans-Siberian Railway and BAM, is more than 2000 km. Between the coast of the region and Sakhalin there is a ferry service Vanino - Kholmsk. The largest airport is Khabarovsk. There are also airports in Komsomolsk-on-Amur, Nikolaevsk-on-Amur, Okhotsk and Sovetskaya Gavan.

On Sakhalin, there is an intra-island air service only along the route Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk - Okhoy. Almost all major cities of Sakhalin are connected by roads and buses. There is rail service on a small stretch of the island's west coast and much of the east coast. Vessels sail from the island to the Kuriles and Japan.

In the Primorsky Territory, all cities and towns are connected to Vladivostok by good roads. Passenger boats and ferries depart from the sea station in Vladivostok at any time of the year to the islands of the Primorsky Territory and settlements on the coast. There are domestic flights on the routes: Vladivostok - Plastun, Vladivostok - Kavalerovo, Kavalerovo - Plastun, and also back. Also, two - three times a week, MI-8 helicopters take off from the village of Terney to the most distant regions of the region.

Types of recreation on the Pacific coast

Beach holidays in these parts are common starting from June. Just by this time, the water warms up to an acceptable temperature. The locals call the beaches bays. Recreation by savages with tents is very common. And for lovers of solitude, there are hard-to-reach bays where a simple man in the street will not go. They are located near Vladivostok, behind the pioneer camp "Ocean".

One of the best beaches near Vladivostok, which can be reached by public transport, is Shamora. Its length is three kilometers and it has a different depth, which is convenient for families and swimmers.

Although the water rarely rises above 23 degrees, one of the area's favorite outdoor activities is scuba diving. Primorye is considered one of the best places in Russia for diving.

Another type of outdoor activity is surfing. And although the local waves are not so high, many beginners come here to practice their skills. Particularly desperate challenge even the winter sea.

However, the Far Eastern land has its advantages for a good holiday. This region gives you the opportunity to enjoy beautiful places such as the expanses of Avacha Bay, beaches with black volcanic sand, islands lost in the Pacific Ocean, harsh rocky shores, clear mountain lakes and unusual ancient caves. The Valley of Geysers is one of the most famous and attractive natural objects in Kamchatka. It has everything you need to relax: the sea with sandy golden beaches, fabulous underwater landscapes, water areas for boat trips, mountain streams, waterfalls.

There is always entertainment in the Far East. In winter you can go skiing - the long slopes of the mountains are conducive to this. In summer - walk through the mountains and valleys. Fishing is very popular in this area. Tourists are also given the opportunity to go hunting or hiking, climbing mountains, rafting down the river.

But still, the most frequent phenomenon in this place is the "wonders of nature" - glaciers and volcanoes. There are also ice lakes and boiling geysers.

Resorts of the Far East

The most famous resorts are located in the Primorsky, Khabarovsk Territories, as well as on Sakhalin and Kamchatka. The basis of many resorts in the Far East is healing mud. They form at the bottom of water bodies - sea estuaries and lakes. They are used in various sanatoriums in such places as the Vladivostok resort area, Sakhalin, Kamchatka.

The largest number of sanatoriums is located in the Primorsky Territory, there are over 40 of them. The most famous Shmakova resort is located in one of the most beautiful corners of the central part of Primorye. Natural healing features of this place: dry and warm summers, windless and sunny winters, mineral carbonic waters, rich vegetation.

Some seaside health resorts are located in the suburban area of Vladivostok. The main therapeutic factor in most Vladivostok sanatoriums is sea sulfide mud. It is healing and beneficial.

The sanatorium-resort zone of Kamchatka is known for its hot geothermal springs. The main therapeutic factors of Kamchatka sanatoriums: nitrogen-siliceous water and sulphide mud. It is here that you can cure all kinds of diseases of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems, skin and gynecological diseases.

The resort resources of the Sakhalin region are represented mainly by mineral waters and therapeutic mud. Sanatoriums in Sakhalin have a modern medical base.

The Far East is a special place where you can not only have a good rest and enjoy beautiful views, but also receive medical treatment. Definitely worth visiting this place. The land of contrasts - this is how the Far East can be called.

In a nutshell

The Far East seems to Europeans to be a real “edge of the world”. Indeed, there are more than 9 thousand km from Moscow to Vladivostok, the time difference with Central Europe is 10 hours. Everything in the Far East is surprising for Europeans. Nature is simply stunning, because in this corner of the planet the west and east meet, the largest continent of the Earth - Eurasia - and the greatest ocean - the Pacific. Everything is concentrated here: the sea with sandy beaches, fabulous underwater landscapes, water areas for walking on ships, taiga wilds, which have largely retained their original appearance, mountain streams, waterfalls. Caves, ivy-covered mighty trees on steep slopes, healing mineral springs. The hot healing waters of Kamchatka have healed the wounds of great travelers for many centuries - the discoverers of this mysterious land of geysers and volcanoes. Suffice it to recall the footage from the film "Sannikov's Land", depicting bathing in thermal springs. Plunging into the bliss of thermal waters, travelers noticed how quickly their strength was restored. In Kamchatka, hot water can also be found right next to the sea, where hot springs sometimes come out right in the surf and one foot can be in hot water, and the other in cool water. Nitrogen-siliceous baths of Kamchatka, which, according to Japanese gerontologists, are a powerful geroprotector, can compete with similar resorts in the Land of the Rising Sun. There are thermal waters even beyond the Arctic Circle - in the Talaya resort of the Magadan Region.

The basis of many resorts in the Far East is healing mud. They are formed at the bottom of reservoirs - sea estuaries and lakes and are used in the sanatoriums of SadgorodV, Oceanic Military, Primorye, OkeanV - the Vladivostok resort area; "Sinegorsk Mineral Waters", "Sakhalin", "Gornyak" - Sakhalin; "Paratunka", "Pearl of Kamchatka", "Sputnik" - Kamchatka.

The Far East - the easternmost part of Russia - is famous not only for minerals and valuable furs, but also for the monuments of material and artistic culture of the first millennium BC. These include excavations of ancient Eskimo settlements, burial grounds and the most ancient rock paintings in Asia - petroglyphs. The Kamchatka Valley of Geysers is recognized as one of the seven wonders of Russia. The capital of the Primorsky Territory is one of the most colorful and interesting cities in the Far East. The historical center of Vladivostok is peculiar: not a single building is architecturally similar to another: Gothic, German Baroque, Art Nouveau, Russian style side by side here.

In the Far East, not only plants, but also animals fancifully mixed, adding exoticism to this magical land. Miraculous healing plants - ginseng, Chinese magnolia vine, eleutherococcus grow and absorb the forces of nature only here. Rare species of animals and plants, abundance of valuable fish species, huge rookeries of walruses and seals, bird markets, the beauty of the rocky shores of the Bering Strait, thermal healing springs - all this attracts lovers of ecological tourism.

Geography

The Far East is the most distant region of Russia from Moscow to the east. The area of the region is 6215.9 thousand square meters. km (about 36% of the territory of the Russian Federation). The population is 6.8 million people. (about 4.7% of the population of the Russian Federation). The center of the Far East is the city of Khabarovsk. The Far East is presented from Europe as a real “edge of the world”. The length of the Trans-Siberian Railway from Moscow to Vladivostok is 9288.2 km and according to this indicator it is the longest on the planet, crossing almost all of Eurasia by land. The time difference with Central Europe is 10 hours. However, direct flights connect the main cities of the region - Vladivostok and Khabarovsk with Japan, South and North Korea, Thailand, and the USA. Tourist boats go to Japan and the Republic of Korea. A railway was laid across the entire region - the Trans-Siberian Railway with branches to the border and the sea coast.

The Far Eastern Federal District includes 10 constituent entities of the Russian Federation (Republic of Sakha, Primorsky Territory, Khabarovsk Territory, Amur Region, Kamchatka, Magadan Region, Sakhalin Region, Jewish Autonomous Region, Koryak Autonomous Region, Chukotka Autonomous Region) Territory 6,517,300 sq. km Population 7,538,000 Downtown Khabarovsk

The Far Eastern Federal District is characterized by the longest coastline - from the Arctic seas of the Arctic Ocean to the warm Sea of Japan. The longest river in Russia is the Amur with its tributaries (Amur with Shilka and Onon - 4416 km), the Lena is slightly inferior to it (4400 km). The left bank of the Amur belongs to Russia, the right bank belongs to China. 85 species of fish live in the Amur, only the Mississippi and the Amazon are richer in fish. There are unique opportunities for fishing on the Amur.

A significant part of the region is formed by mountainous territories. The mountains in these places are unusual: low ridges with rounded domed peaks and gentle slopes stretch parallel to each other from the southwest to the northeast. There are no sharp peaks and ridges, abysses and sheer canyons. Such mountains are called hills. In the mountains of the southern part of Primorsky Krai, special broad-leaved forests grow - the famous Ussuri taiga. There are two Russian natural sites included in the UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage List - the volcanoes of Kamchatka and the Central Sikhote-Alin (the Sikhote-Alin mountain range in Primorsky Krai). Kamchatka belongs to the zone of active volcanic activity, 29 out of 300 volcanoes are active. The largest volcano in Eurasia is Klyuchevskaya Sopka (height 4750 m). The formation of many minerals is associated with the activity of volcanoes, as well as the manifestation of hydrogeothermal activity: the formation of fumaroles, geysers, hot springs.

The nature of the region is peculiar and diverse - these are the tundras of Chukotka, the fire-breathing volcanoes of Kamchatka, as well as the extraordinary forests of Primorye (the famous Ussuri taiga, in which plant and animal species of the North meet with the species diversity of the subtropics). The symbols of the territory can be called the root of life - ginseng, the giant vegetation of Sakhalin Island, the lotus growing on Lake Khanka (Primorsky Territory). In the Far East, not only plants, but also animals fancifully mixed, adding exoticism to this magical land. Here live such unique representatives of the animal world as the polar bear, sea otter - sea otter, Ussuri tiger and Ussuri leopard, spotted deer, marsh and waterfowl game, ungulates and fur-bearing animals. Sport hunting is one of the most popular types of recreation in the Far East.

Time

The Far East is located in 4 time zones: GMT +9 - GMT +12.

Yakut time (GMT + 9 hours) - ahead of Moscow time by 6 hours. This is the official time in the Amur Region, the Trans-Baikal Territory and in the western part of Yakutia, including Yakutsk.

Vladivostok time (GMT + 10 hours) - ahead of Moscow time by 7 hours. This is the official time in the central part of Yakutia (including the Novosibirsk Islands), in the Primorsky and Khabarovsk Territories, in the Jewish Autonomous Region and on about. Sakhalin.

Magadan time (GMT + 11) - ahead of Moscow time by 8 hours. This is the official time in the eastern part of Yakutia, in the Magadan region and on the Kuril Islands.

Kamchatka time (GMT + 12) - 9 hours ahead of Moscow time. This is the official time in the Kamchatka Territory, as well as in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug.

Climate

Climatic conditions change when moving from north to south, they also depend on proximity to the sea and on the shape and nature of the relief. The climate is severe, in the northern part of the region - subarctic, on the coasts - maritime, in the interior - continental. The Far Eastern winter is frosty, dry, amazingly sunny, and therefore extremely good for health. Due to the dryness of the air, even severe frosts are easily tolerated. Summer is short, cool in the northern territories, hot and humid in the south. The second half of July, August and September are the best time to travel. In Primorsky Krai and Sakhalin, the climate is temperate, monsoonal. Winter is dry and cold with clear weather. Spring is long, cool, with frequent temperature fluctuations. Summers are warm and humid, with the maximum amount of precipitation in the summer months. Autumn is usually warm, dry, with clear weather. In summer, southerly winds from the Pacific Ocean prevail, and in winter, northerly winds bring cold but clear weather from the continental regions. The Far East region is located at the same latitudes as Sochi on the Black Sea coast of Russia, so the sun is just as gentle here and shines 180-200 days a year.

Natural healing factors

Favorable natural and climatic conditions, mineral waters and reserves of sulfide silt mud form the basis of the natural healing resources of the Far East.

The hot healing waters of the Kamchatka resort Paratunki have healed the wounds of great travelers for many centuries - the discoverers of this mysterious region of geysers and volcanoes. Suffice it to recall the footage from the film "Sannikov's Land", depicting bathing in thermal springs. Plunging into the bliss of thermal waters, travelers noticed how quickly their strength was restored. Only today in the thermal springs of Kamchatka, tired skiers relieve tension after skiing on the slopes of Mount Goryachaya. The pool with thermal water is noticeable from afar, in the PARA clubs. The temperature of the water in the springs and the hot waterfall is from 39 to 70°C. On the Kuril Islands, you can take sulfur baths at the foot of the Mendeleev volcano - hot springs are everywhere and some of them are tiled like a mini-pool. Hot water can also be found right next to the sea - hot springs sometimes come out right in the surf zone - you can find yourself with one foot in hot water of 30-40 ° C, and the other in cool water at 15 ° C.

The first written references to a hot spring beyond the Arctic Circle are found in the documents of the church archive of the Yamsk settlement for 1905-1906. They say that the Talsky spring, 256 km northeast of Magadan, was discovered in 1868 by the merchant Afanasy Bushuev. The enterprising merchant who found the source, according to local residents, froze Tal water and sold it to the population as a healing agent. In the mid 50s. on hot (up to 98 ° C) sources of nitrogen chloride-hydrocarbonate sodium waters, the Talaya resort was opened.

Resorts and sanatoriums were built on the deposits of carbonic mineral waters: Shmakovka, Sinegorsk mineral waters, Sakhalin)

Nitrogen-siliceous thermal waters are the basis of natural resources of Kuldur resorts, Jewish Autonomous Region; Paratunka, sanatorium V "Pearl of Kamchatka", sanatorium-dispensary V "Sputnik", Kamchatka; Talaya resort, Magadan region. Waters are effective in diseases of the musculoskeletal system, peripheral nervous system, skin and gynecological diseases.

Therapeutic muds are various types of silt deposits formed at the bottom of reservoirs, sea estuaries and lakes. Silt sulfide mud (sanatoriums in "SadgorodV", "Ocean Military", "Primorye", "OkeanV" - Vladivostok resort area; "Sinegorsk Mineral Waters", "Sakhalin", "GornyakV" - Sakhalin ; "Paratunka", "Pearl of Kamchatka", "Sputnik" - Kamchatka) contain hydrogen sulfide, methane, carbon dioxide. In sapropelic muds (sanatorium V "Talaya", Magadan region), the content of organic substances is high, but there are few salts.

Resorts

Primorsky Krai

Most of the Far Eastern sanatoriums - over 40 - are located in the Primorsky Territory. They can simultaneously receive more than 6.5 thousand people.
