Geography

[edit]

In China, the Khingan mountains are divided into theGreater Khingan and Lesser Khingan. The Lesser Khingan range runs roughly from the northwest to the southeast and separates the valley of theAmur (Heilongjiang) River from that of theNenjiang River. The mountain range then turns toward the east and north-east, entering Russia.^[4] The Amur/Heilongjiang, which is a border river, forms a gorge when crossing the mountain range.
