Geography

Bermisaye lies along the last segment of the Bermisig River (Bermisig ainos, but also Bermisek asaye in the local dialect), the portmanteau of whose name is the name of the city. It is famous throughout the country for its dramatic setting; it is set on a sloping plain following the course of the river towards the coast, while being surrounded on three sides by steep ridges and mountains which afford stunning night views of the city. Because the plain is about 25 km east-west along the river, but only 6 km wide, the city also follows this shape.

The river flowing through the city is mostly too shallow to be navigated by large craft, but along certain sections which are demarcated sports kayaking and canoeing are allowed. Every year several high schools and universities hold races along the Bermisig, including the famous Tri-Province Race where Lorudac, Neiberin and Hyomeniga provinces each provide two of their top high school teams for a six-way race down a 4.6 km stretch of the river. Within the city the coastal areas where the river flows into the sea is mainly commercial in nature, while the residential areas are distributed inland.

In terms of architecture the city is mostly low-rise, rarely exceeding seven storeys even in the commercial regions.
