Ayano-Maysky District

Ayano-Maysky District is a municipal administrative area in northern Khabarovsk Krai that spans across a vast territory of mountainous and riverine landscapes. The region is characterized by the Dzhugdzhur Mountains and several major rivers including the Maya and Maymakan.

The administrative area was established in 1930 and created through the merger of historical territories. The port town of Ayan was designated as the administrative center of the newly formed district.

The region is shaped by Evenk communities whose traditions and way of life define daily activities in local settlements. Their relationship with the land and reindeer herding continues to influence the district's character today.

The territory is divided into different climate zones that significantly influence local conditions. Inland and coastal areas differ noticeably in their weather patterns and create different demands on visitors.

The territory contains the Kondyor Massif, an unusual circular mountain formation with substantial zirconium ore deposits. This geological feature makes the region a place of scientific interest for mineralogy experts.
