Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Administrative center in Sakhalin Island, Russia
Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk extends across 164 square kilometers of land in the southern part of Sakhalin Island, surrounded by mountains and the Susuya River valley.
The settlement originated in 1882 as Vladimirovka, transformed into Japanese-controlled Toyohara in 1905, and returned to Soviet control in 1946 under its current name.
The Sakhalin Regional Museum preserves artifacts from Russian and Japanese periods, displaying the territorial transitions and indigenous Ainu culture through extensive collections.
The Anton Chekhov Airport connects the city with major destinations in Russia, South Korea, and Japan, while narrow-gauge railways serve regional transportation needs.
The Gorny Vozdukh ski resort, rising from within city limits, includes 16 trails and reaches an elevation of 600 meters above sea level.
