The southernmost portion of the Siberian Pacific, once part of the ancient empires of China and Korea, is formed by the lower Amur basin. The Amur River is the largest in Siberia (about 2700 miles), equal in size and might to Alaska's Yukon River. For ages, the Amur River served as a cultural highway along which peoples moved, exchanging and mixing customs, beliefs, and artistic traditions.
