Shamora

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shamora (Russian: Шамора) is a Chinese and traditional Russian name of the Lazurnaya Bay (Бухта Лазурная), which is part of the Ussuri Gulf of the Sea of Japan. The Chinese name translates as "sandy desert", referring to the sandy beaches that attract scores of holiday-makers from Vladivostok and other towns of the Russian Far East. Several rest homes and sanatioriums are scattered along the coastline. The hinterland is hilly and woody.

Shamora is also the name of a collection of old songs by the Vladivostok band Mumiy Troll.
