Water temperature…
Vladivostok, Russia's mighty gateway to the Pacific, clings to the hills of the Muravyov-Amursky Peninsula, surrounded by the deep, sheltered bays of the Sea of Japan. Founded in 1860 as a military outpost, the city, whose name translates to „Ruler of the East“, is the dramatic terminus of the legendary Trans-Siberian Railway, over 9,000 kilometers from Moscow. Vladivostok is the main base of the Russian Pacific Fleet and a lively port city offering a unique blend of Russian culture and Asian influence. An architectural highlight and symbol of modernity is the gigantic Russky Bridge, one of the longest cable-stayed bridges in the world, which connects the mainland with the island of the same name and dominates the spectacular coastline.
