Lake Kizi

Lake Kizi lies in a broad basin between the lower Amur and the Strait of Tartary, framed by low mountains. The Yai is its largest tributary, joined by smaller rivers and streams from the surrounding slopes. Narrowings divide the lake into several reaches, and its level changes with the waters of the Amur floodplain. Channels link the lake with the great river, while the coast lies beyond the hills to the east.
