Baykalsk, Lake town in Slyudyansky District, Russia
Baykalsk sits at 460 meters above sea level on the southern bank of Lake Baikal, encompassing an area of 819 square kilometers.
The establishment of the Baykalsk Paper and Pulp Mills in 1961 marked the beginning of this settlement, which received its town status in 1966.
The town maintains close relationships with international communities through its sister city connection to South Lake Tahoe in California, United States.
Baykalsk contains nine kindergartens, three theaters, and residential buildings limited to five stories due to regional seismic considerations.
The special economic zone 'Gate of Baikal' provides tax exemptions and reduced rates to businesses, promoting investment in local tourism development.
