The Chalcha ( Mongolian Халхын гол , Chalchyn gol ; Chinese  哈拉哈 河 , Pinyin Halaha He ), sometimes also listed as Chalch , is a 233 kilometer long river in Mongolia and China in East Asia .

In terms of length, it ranks 23rd among the rivers in Mongolia. The Chalcha has its origin in the Great Hinggan Mountains . It first flows north, then turns west and leaves the mountainous country. It runs through the Chinese region of Hulun Buir in Inner Mongolia and the Mongolian Dornod-Aimag . The river runs along the border for a while. Eventually the river reaches the east bank of the lake Buir Nur and flows into it.

In the early 1930s, huge gold and copper deposits were discovered at Chalchin Gol on the border between the Mongolian People's Republic and Manchukuo . Because supposedly unexplained borderlines arose between these two former satellite states from 1932 military to constant conflicts, which in 1939 in the area around Nomonhan the Soviet-Japanese border war resulted.
