Khasan, Border settlement in Primorsky Krai, Russia

Khasan stands at the intersection of three countries, Russia, China, and North Korea, along the banks of the Tumen River at Russia's southernmost point.

The settlement received its urban status in 1983, developing from a strategic location that marked the convergence of international boundaries since 1959.

Regular exchanges between Russian and North Korean residents occur through the Friendship Bridge, which connects the two nations across the Tumen River.

The railway station serves as a crucial transportation hub, linking Vladivostok to North Korea's Rason through the Baranovsky-Khasan railway line.

The Tumen River's changing course during floods requires continuous reinforcement of the riverbank with rocky soil to prevent territorial erosion.
