Vladivostok's naval history and Pacific coastline anchor the region, with the Trans-Siberian Railway terminating here after its journey across the continent. The Sikhote-Alin mountains inland are home to the last wild Siberian tigers, and Kamchatka further north (a separate, even more remote peninsula) draws travelers for its volcanoes and geysers.
Fresh Pacific seafood, especially crab and salmon, defines the local cuisine here more than anywhere else in Russia.
