Vladivostok (Russian: Владивосток, English: vladivostok) is located in the eastern part of Eurasia, the southernmost tip of the Amur Peninsula. Originally known as Vladivostok, during the Qing Dynasty as a territory of China, it was divided into jilin generals, and on November 14, 1860, the Sino-Russian Treaty of Beijing ceded the area east of the Ussuri River, including Vladivostok, to Russia, which named it Vladivostok, which means "rule the East" in Russian. It is one of the main cultural, educational and scientific research centers in the Far East, including the Far East Branch of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Pacific Fisheries and Oceanography Institute and the Far Eastern Federal University.
Vladivostok's location in the Far East
View of Vladivostok from Peter the Great Bay
Vladivostok is located on the Pacific coast at the southern tip of the Amursky Peninsula on the Pacific coast, on the sea of Japan. The city is built on a hill. Vladivostok is highlanded to the north, and the Gulf of Ussuri, The Bay of Big Peter and the Gulf of Amur to the east, south and west respectively. The city and port area are located along the Shores of the Golden Horn at the top of the Amur Peninsula. The Golden Horn extends from southwest to northeast into the interior and is about 7 km long. The bay at the entrance is about 2 km wide, the water depth is 20 to 30 m, the width of the bay is less than 1 km, and the water depth is 10 to 20 m. The southern side of the Golden Horn is separated by the East Bosphorus Strait, and there is a natural barrier of Russian Island. The bay is surrounded by low mountains and hills, and the situation is dangerous. Since the winter ice period in Vladivostok lasts from 100 to 110 days (from early December to mid-to-late March of the following year), it can be navigated by icebreaker. In the summer and autumn, it is foggy, with an average of one and a half fog days from June to August, and sometimes heavy fog affects the entry of ships into the harbor. [1]
Climatic histogram of Vladivostok
According to the Zhou Shuzhen climate classification, Vladivostok belongs to a typical temperate continental humid climate, or cold temperate continental monsoon climate. Summer is cool and comfortable; autumn is the best season in Vladivostok, with clear weather, plenty of sunshine, a long duration, and typhoons. In winter, it is influenced by a combination of northerly winds from high latitudes and southeasterly winds from the ocean, and it is cold and humid, with more snowfall. Spring arrives earlier; summers are influenced by polar ocean air masses or denatured tropical ocean air masses, with prevailing east and southeasterly winds, cool and comfortable, moderate rainfall, and sometimes foggy. The four seasons are distinct throughout the year and the weather changes more slowly. Because it is close to the Sea of Japan, the temperature in winter and summer fluctuates less than inland areas of the same latitude, and the daily temperature difference is very small, which has obvious temperate monsoon climate characteristics.
