==Tourism== Arsenyev is situated between the Blue and Eastern-Blue Ranges of the [[Sikhote-Alin]], on the right bank of the [[Arsenyevka River|Arsenyevka river]] (the [[Ussuri River|Ussuri]]'s [[tributary]]). The river is 294 km (200 mi) long. The valley of the Arsenyevka river is {{convert|2|β|3|km|sp=us|adj=on}} wide. The river is the source of water for the town and for the rice plantations of the adjacent [[Anuchinsky District]]. In 1954, a dam was constructed on the [[Dachnaya River]] (the [[Arsenyevka River|Arsenyevka]]'s tributary). It is located in the center of Arsenyev, forming a pool with fountains. The town park is adjacent to it. This is the favorite recreation place of the town's residents. The water reservoir for the town is located on the upper reaches of the Dachnaya river. The town of Arsenyev is built on flat land. Arsenyev is an attraction primarily for lovers of mountain-skiing. There is a mountain-skiing base in Arsenyev. There is much snow in the Arsenyev area in winter. The mountain normally used for mountain skiers is {{convert|10|km|sp=us}} from the town and rises as high as {{convert|870|m|sp=us}} [[above sea level]]. Training for mountain-skiing beginners is available. Tourists are welcome on week-ends. You can stop at the ''Salyut'' recreation center at the foot of the mountain. ===Sightseeing=== There is a monument to [[Maxim Gorky]], founded in 1958 in the public garden on Gorky Avenue. The Uvalnaya Hill displays the monument to Russian explorer [[Vladimir Arsenyev]] and his guide gol'd [[Dersu Uzala]], built in 1972 by donations from Arsenyev's residents. In the area surrounding Arsenyev there are also many archaeological and natural monuments, acquainting visitors with the culture of the ancient tribes inhabiting these lands, with relics and endemic plants and animals. Arsenyev's History Museum was opened in 1969. Over 40,000 exhibits are displayed, including the personal belongings of the first dwellers of Semyonovka, a collection of butterflies found in Central Primorye, ethnographic and archaeological collections. The museum attracts about 35,000 people a year.
