Khadzhi Bay

Khadzhi Bay is a sheltered inlet on the mainland shore of the Strait of Tartary. Its deeply indented coastline encloses a natural harbour, protected from the open water between the mainland and Sakhalin. The Oroch people knew the bay by the name Khadzhi, also recorded in several related forms. Forested hills rise around its arms, while the strait provides a passage north towards the lower Amur and south towards the Sea of Japan.
