Bureen

The Bureen, called the Bryanka in Russian, is a tributary of the Uda in the country east of Lake Baikal. It rises in the Tsagan-Daban range and flows through wooded mountains, where its upper course is known as the Shabur. Farther downstream the valley widens and the river changes direction before joining the Uda. Archaeological sites in the valley attest to human occupation there many thousands of years ago.
