Selenga and Uda
The two rivers meet at the heart of the city. The Selenga's wide channels and sandbar islands give the map a loose, braided edge.

The map
Ulan-Ude grew at the point where the Uda flows into the Selenga, the largest river feeding Lake Baikal. From above, the Selenga's broad channels and islands mark the western and southern sides of the city. The Uda cuts through from the east, and the old centre sits on the tongue of land between them. Hills rise around the edges and push newer districts into the valleys.
The capital of Buryatia has a mixed identity that shows in its landmarks. On the central square stands a giant bronze head of Lenin, often described as the largest in the world. Not far outside the city is the Ivolginsky Datsan, one of Russia's main Buddhist monasteries. The Trans-Siberian Railway passes through, and a branch heads south toward Mongolia.
An Ulan-Ude map poster captures a city shaped by water and terrain more than by planning. The centre has a compact, fairly regular block pattern. Beyond it, streets follow the river banks and the contours of the hills, and the braided Selenga adds soft, irregular shapes that balance the harder lines of the rail corridors.
The two rivers meet at the heart of the city. The Selenga's wide channels and sandbar islands give the map a loose, braided edge.
The monumental square with the giant Lenin head anchors a compact grid of older blocks. This part of the city lies between the two rivers.
The Trans-Siberian line cuts a long, sweeping curve through the districts. A branch toward Mongolia turns off it, and together they form one of the strongest lines on the sheet.

Why Ulan-Ude
Ulan-Ude means something to Buryat families, to Trans-Siberian travellers and to anyone who has stopped here on the way to Baikal. The poster makes a quiet record of a city at a meeting of rivers and cultures.
You can personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates line, for example with a trip date or a home address. Choose from five styles: Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand. Sand pairs well with the steppe setting.
