For 160 years of the city of Khabarovsk, the embankment has undergone a lot of reconstruction, it is difficult to say which this is probably already the sixth or seventh.

Originally of course no quay was there was simply a beach patch plot in convenient to disembark from boats or steamers.

In the early 1910s the embankment was created as such, after the flood of 1912, they poured and raised the shore, fortifying the shore with logs.

In the summer and autumn time on the embankment worked а fish market.

In the 1930s several debarkards were already installed on the embankment, in summer the so-called "Dynamo" water station was there-special swimming pools in the river, equipped with towers and waterfall dumbbells.

in the late 1950s and early 1960s, in connection with the radical reconstruction of the city boulevards, the embankment of the river in the central part of the city was completely changed.

You would think they would use loads of rocks and boulders as protection.

I had to look up a map to see where Khabarovsk and it is almost in China! And the flooding is from the river. I would visit an out of the way place like that.

I like the historic photos showing the area over the years. An interesting post. Thanks for sharing.

Interesting historical shots. It is always interesting to compare with how it was and how it has become in our time.
