Sikachi-Alyan is a unique Nanai village on the bank of the Amur, 76 kilometers (47 miles) from Khabarovsk, where the ancient history of the Far East comes to life. The village's main attraction is its ancient petroglyphs on basalt boulders, more than 12,000 years old, with images of animals, people, and mysterious symbols that tell the stories of our distant ancestors. At the open-air ethnographic museum you can see a reconstructed traditional Nanai homestead and get to know the culture of the Indigenous peoples of the Amur region through household objects, traditional clothing, and shamanic regalia. The village is famous for its breathtaking views of the great Amur River and for sacred places about which locals tell amazing legends rooted in ancient beliefs and myths. Here you can not only touch ancient history but also taste authentic cuisine made from the gifts of the taiga and the river, and enjoy the unique nature of the Far East.
