Городской литературно-художественный музей книги А.П.Чехова
Housed in a 1954 building somewhat reminiscent of Chekhov's house, there are some items from the everyday life of Anton Chekhov and his family, a collection of some of his artworks, and copies of Chekhov's book Sakhalin Island in various languages from all over the world and a facsimile edition from 1895.

Taj Mahal Restaurant
ресторан «Тадж Махал»
Something as odd as an Indian cuisine from a Japanese franchise, which offers the usual popular Indian dishes. To further add to the oddness, it's also the sole outlet of the only Sakhalin guidebook, Sakhalin Unplugged.

Chekhov International Theatre Center
Сахалинский театральный центр Чехова
Really not that much "international" about it, this theatre is in a rather unusual (for a frontier region) building covered by mosaics in the socialist realism style (1964). The theatre's roots are in the 1930s. It sometimes has musicals and concerts on the repertoire, if sitting through 2 hours of Russian is not your thing.

Military Hospital
Городская больница
1930s postconstructivist building that is still used as a military hospital. The military hospital was modern for its time, being equipped with an elevator and a solarium.
