The city developed as a vital port during the Silk Road era, connecting trade routes from the Caucasus to Khorasan through its strategic location.

The Talysh community maintains its heritage through traditional performances, local cuisine, and festivals centered around tea production and citrus cultivation.

Lankaran International Airport provides direct connections to Baku, while local transportation includes regular bus services to nearby natural reserves and beaches.

The region receives the highest annual rainfall in Azerbaijan, supporting the country's primary tea plantations and rare iron tree forests.
