Mulun

Mulun is the river now known as the Muling, which rises among the hills north of the Changbai Mountains and flows toward the Ussuri. Its valley passes from forested uplands into lower country farther northeast. Ming sources called the river Maolian, while Qing geographical writings recorded the name Muling. The river links a chain of valleys across eastern Manchuria, carrying water from the mountains toward the broad Ussuri and, beyond it, the Amur.
