Interesting places on Sakhalin Island are, first of all, the beautiful local landscapes. One has only to look at the photos to appreciate the beauty of this amazing land in absentia.
Unusual sights of Sakhalin
- Cheremshansky waterfall: this 13-meter waterfall is located northwest of the city of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, on the Yellow River and is a rather inaccessible place (it is advisable to go on a trip in good weather in a reliable SUV). Anyone who gets here will be able to find a wonderful place to relax at the foot of it.
- Pugachevsky mud volcano: it is a group of three mud circles (the diameter of the largest is 4 km). The eruptions are accompanied by a strong hum and the release of large pieces of mud from the crater.
- Torii: It is a white marble gate with Japanese characters. This is the last Japanese monument left on Sakhalin Island (near the village of Vzmorye). Previously, there was a Shinto shrine behind them, and now there are terraces with ruins of columns and marble slabs.
