Geography

Smidovichsky District covers the eastern portion of the Jewish Autonomous Oblast. The southern border of the district is the Amur River, with China to the south. The northern and eastern border with Khabarovsk Krai is marked by the Tunguska River (EAO). The terrain is low river plain, with both rivers wide and meandering along the district edges. Immediately to the east of the district is the city of Khabarovsk. The city of Vladivostok is about 620 km to the south. The area measures 50 km (north-south) by 125 km (west-east). [5]

The Trans-Siberian Railway runs across northern length of the district, as does the Amur Highway (R297) from Chita to Khabarovsk. The climate is suited to agriculture, supporting buckwheat, corn, wheat, and vegetables.

The district is bordered on the north and east by Khabarovsk Krai, on the south by China, and on the west by Birobidzhansky District.
