Khasansky District

Khasansky District is a municipal territory in Primorsky Krai situated between the Tumen River and Peter the Great Gulf. It shares borders with both China and North Korea, making it a strategically located region in Russia's Far East.

The district was officially established as an administrative unit on November 6, 1922, during the early Soviet period in Russia's Far East. This founding created formal governance structures in this border region.

The district incorporates twelve inhabited localities with a population of 35,541 residents who maintain connections with neighboring Chinese and Korean communities.

The area has a sparse population distributed across roughly twelve inhabited settlements throughout the territory. The main infrastructure revolves around fishing operations, ship repair facilities, and farming activities that form the economic foundation.

Within the area sits the Kedrovaya Pad Nature Reserve, one of the last refuges for Amur leopards and Siberian tigers in the wild. This protected reserve preserves one of Russia's most endangered habitats.
