Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk is a dynamic economic centre with a population of 200,854. The city is located about 50 km from the west coast and 25 km from the opposite coast. Also on the eastern side, it is protected by a mountain range (Chekhov Peak, 1,045 m), which gives it a climate different from the other coastal towns of Sakhalin. It is quite hot in summer, while it freezes hard in winter. It is also located in a seismic zone, so most of its buildings are designed to withstand earthquakes of magnitude 8. While Yuzhno may lack a little charm, it makes up for it with its rich cultural programme, including a prestigious international film festival (every year in mid-August)
