Khankaysky District (Russian: Ханка́йский райо́н) is an administrative[1] and municipal[2] district (raion) of Primorsky Krai, Russia; one of the twenty-two in the krai. It is located in the western portion of the krai on the western bank of Khanka Lake and borders with Pogranichny District in the southwest, Khorolsky District in the southeast, and Heilongjiang Province of China in the west. The area of the district is 2,689.0 square kilometers (1,038.2 sq mi).[3] Its administrative center is the rural locality (a selo) of Kamen-Rybolov. District's population: 24,680 (2010 Census preliminary results);[4] 28,939 (2002 Census);[5] 31,122 (1989 Census).[8] Population of Kamen-Rybolov accounts for 40.7% of the district's population.[5]

Khankaysky District is one of the largest agricultural regions of the krai. The area of agricultural grounds totals 1,230 square kilometers (470 sq mi). Soybeans, rice, buckwheat, and vegetables are cultivated. Meat, milk, and honey are also produced in the district. Fish breeding is cultivated in ponds.

Another feature of this district is a customs point, Tury Rog, which is located on the Russian-Chinese border. Heavy track traffic passes through this point. Close to the customs point is a large Chinese coal mining basin, Jixi.

There are no large industrial enterprises in this area, which helps keep the recreational zones ecologically clean.
