The Argun or Ergun ( Buryat for "broad river"; Russian Аргунь / Argun ; Chinese 額爾古納河 / 额尔古纳河 , Pinyin É'ěrgǔnà Hé ) is the 1620 km long right, i.e. H. southern headwaters of the Amur ( Heilong Jiang ) in northeast China .
River course
It has its source in the Great Hinggan Mountains . From there it flows as Hailar-Argun ( Hailar He ) first over Yakeshi and Hailar (today the Hailar district of Hulun Buir ) to the west, and then flows 944 km in length along the Sino-Russian border to the northeast. Finally, west of Mohe , it unites with the Schilka to form the Amur ( Heilong Jiang ).
Kerulen-Argun-Amur
About 150 km west of the city of Hailar on the Argun is the lake Hulun Nur , which actually has no contact with the Argun River. In years with particularly high levels of rainfall, this lake, which is normally without drain, overflows on its north bank and flows into the Argun after about 30 km. This gives the Kerulen, which flows into this lake, a connection to the Argun, which from there forms the Sino-Russian border in its lower reaches over a length of 944 km and then forms the Amur , so that the Kerulen-Argun-Amur river then arises .
