Vladivostok (Russian: Владивосток) is Russia's largest port city on the Pacific Ocean and the administrative center of Primorsky Krai.

 It is situated close to the Russo-Sino border and North Korea. It is the home port of the Russian Navy's Pacific Fleet. The city's name means "ruler of the east" in Russian.

The Trans-Siberian Railway was built to connect European Russia with Vladivostok, Russia's most important Pacific Ocean port. Finished in 1905, the rail line ran from Moscow to Vladivostok via several of Russia's main cities. Part of the railroad, known as the Chinese Eastern Line, crossed over into Manchuria, China, passing through Harbin, a major city in Manchuria.

 

Air routes connect Vladivostok International Airport with Japan (Tokyo Narita Airport, Niigata, Toyama, Osaka Kansai Airport); People's Republic of China (Beijing, Harbin, Dalian, Mudanjiang); North Korea (Pyongyang-Sunan) (irregular); South Korea (Seoul-Incheon, Busan); Vietnam (Hanoi). It is possible to get to Vladivostok from several of the larger cities in Russia.
