Geography
The main rivers in the district are the Bolshaya Ussurka and the Armu. The Sikhote-Alin Nature Reserve is located in the east of the district.
Climate
The climate conditions of Krasnoarmeysky District sharply differ from those on the coast. The Sikhote-Alin mountain range is a natural barrier which blocks the penetration of the monsoonal winds from the south and the east, forming a specific microclimate of the district. Frosts of −40 to −42 °C (−40 to −44 °F) are very frequent in winter, while in summer the heat exceeds +30 °C (86 °F). The mean annual temperature is −10 °C (14 °F), compared with +5 °C (41 °F) in the south of the krai. Despite the climate conditions, however, the population of the district grows apples, plums, cherries, and watermelons.
Economy
Tungsten and timber, fur and gold are produced in the district. The Primorsky Ore Mining and Processing Enterprise operates here.
Media
The Sikhote-Alin newspaper is published in the district.
