Blagoveshchensk, Regional capital in Amur Oblast, Russia
Blagoveshchensk stands at the meeting point of the Amur and Zeya Rivers, directly across from the Chinese city of Heihe at 122 meters elevation.
The settlement began as Ust-Zeysky military outpost in 1856 and received its current name in 1858 under the authorization of Tsar Alexander II.
The city maintains three major educational institutions including Amur State University, contributing to the intellectual development of the Russian Far East region.
Transportation infrastructure includes an airport serving domestic flights, a river port, and a railway connection to Belogorsk on the Trans-Siberian route.
The Blagoveshchensk-Heihe Bridge, completed in 2019, establishes the first road connection between Russia and China across the Amur River.
