Blagoveshchensk is my native town
The town of Blagoveshchensk is located at the confluence of the Amur and Zeya Rivers, opposite to the Chinese city of Heihe. The early residents of both sides of the Amur in the region of today's Blagoveshchensk were the Daurs and Duchers . An early settlement in the area of today's Blagoveshchensk was the Ducher town currently known to the archaeologists as the Grodekovo site, after the nearby village of Grodekovo.
The town became capital of the Amur Oblast in the Soviet Union in 1932. There are many buildings in Blagoveshchensk, built hundreds of years ago. They’ve been reconstructed and are now in use. The triumphal arch was erected in Blagoveshchensk to welcome Crown Prince Nicholas in 1891, when he visited the town during his grand tour of Asia. When the New Year is coming, the Lenin Square becomes decorated with beautiful sculptures of ice and snow. It’s also worth visiting Blagoveshchensk in summer - everything is green, flowers are in blossom. By the way, our town is considered to be one of the most “green” ones. It’s really great to have an evening walk around the town. Sparkling lights of neon commercials and lanterns will absolutely attract your attention.
Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the town's economic focus has turned to border trade with China, the town is now home to a large Chinese expatriate community. Blagoveshchensk is a modern town with industrial enterprises, higher and secondary educational institutions, professional schools, theatres, museums, well-groomed streets and squares, public gardens and parks. Blagoveshchensk was always and still remains one of the largest industrial and cultural centres of the Far East.
