TheUssuri (/uːˈsʊəri/oo-SOOR-ee;Russian:Уссури[ʊsˈsurʲɪ]) orWusuli (Chinese:烏蘇里[(w)úsúlì]) is a river that runs throughKhabarovsk andPrimorsky Krais,Russia and the southeast region ofNortheast China. It rises in theSikhote-Alin mountain range, flowing north and forming part of theSino-Russian border (which is based on the Sino-RussianConvention of Peking of 1860), until it joins theAmur as a tributary to it nearKhabarovsk. It is approximately 897 km (557 mi) long. The Ussuri drains the Ussuribasin, which covers 193,000 km2 (75,000 sq mi).[2] Its waters come from rain (60%), snow (30–35%), and subterraneansprings. The average discharge is 1,620 m3/s (57,000 cu ft/s),[1] and the average elevation is 1,682 metres (5,518 ft).
