Coal town in the oblast's east — industrial landscape, forest and an overnight stop before Khingan roads.

Region: Amur OblastCoordinates: 49°47′N 129°25′E

Raychikhinsk

Raychikhinsk grew around coal mining in eastern Amur Oblast — a working town with mining past and forest fringes. Compact centre for overnight stays and resupply before Khingan Reserve or Arkhara. Industrial approaches; hot dry summers and frosty winters typical of eastern Priamurye. Urban sights secondary — the point is logistics and forest-industry contrast. Include after Belogorsk on eastern routes for one night and fuel.

How to get there

~300 km east from Blagoveshchensk via Belogorsk.

Best season

May–September as transit
