The city is close the Amur Oblast and is the home Amur Tiger which is being hunted to extinction. That part of Russia is more poor than usual and is not visit as much as anywhere.

It is situated on the bank of the Amur River and on the opposite bank lies the Chinese city of Hehe. Blaga as it is referred to locally, has a population of about 250,000, is quite a modern and friendly city. Its close proximity to China means that there is quite a significant proportion of Chinese people there, mainly traders and agriculturalists. The architecture consists of a lot of old wooden houses and apartment buildings coexisting with those dull, boring but functional highrise communist era blocks. When I was there 1½ years ago there was quite a lot of new apartment blocks and shopping malls being built. There are a couple of movie theatres, a drama theatre, cathedral and some interesting pre Soviet era buildings as well as some museums, beautiful parks and pleasant walks along the river bank. I disagree with the statement above that it is a poor city. As for what the women want, the same as all people, to get the best for themselves and find happiness. It is up to the people involved in a relationship to make it succeed, how you handle communication difficulties and cultural differences will have a great bearing on the success or failure of the relationship Of course if you are a 50 something chasing a 20 something whom you met on the net then you will be screwed.
