Amazar

The Amazar flows south through wooded hills to the upper Amur, not far below the meeting of the Shilka and Argun. Its streams drain a northern country of taiga and long winters, where the valleys cut through ridges before opening toward the great river. The Amazar is one of several tributaries that join the Amur from the north. Its waters enter a river system stretching east across a vast forested frontier toward the sea.
