Zabaykalsky Krai

Zabaykalsky Krai’s terrain runs from forested mountain ranges in the west to open steppe near the Mongolian border, creating a distinctly continental region of wide seasonal contrasts. East of Lake Baikal, it forms part of historic Transbaikalia, where the Ingoda and Onon rivers meet to form the Shilka; together with the Argun, these waterways feed the Amur basin. Chita, the regional capital, is an important stop on the Trans-Siberian Railway and the main urban centre of this vast territory. Russian, Buryat and other Siberian traditions meet here, particularly in the former Agin-Buryat area.
