Khabarovsk Krai Government site - Tourism and Recreation - The Bureya River (265 words) |
 | The Bureya river itself is considered to be easy for rafting but its tributaries of the Yaurin and the Tuyun and especially the Akishma present a difficulty that way. |
 | The upper Bureya is the oldest gold-mining region, the first gold-placer mine in the Niman river basin was opened in 1872. |
 | The reserve "Bureinsky" was established in the river-head of Bureya in 1988, the federal preserve "Dublikansky" exists since 1981. |
