Jiliu

The Jiliu River winds through the forests of the Greater Khingan Range before joining the Argun from the east. Its upper waters include the Taliya, which rises among the mountains and wetlands of this northern forest country. The river belongs to the great Amur basin, whose waters eventually reach the Pacific. Its name has also appeared in the older form Jilalin, while another name, Niu’er, was recorded for its upper course.
