Lesser Khingan

<h2 id="geography">Geography</h2>
<p>In China, the Khingan mountains are divided into the <a href="/facts/Greater_Khingan/QTHwYc57">Greater Khingan</a> and Lesser Khingan. The Lesser Khingan range runs roughly from the northwest to the southeast and separates the valley of the <a href="/facts/Amur_River/JeIkRTUg">Amur (Heilongjiang) River</a> from that of the <a href="/facts/Nenjiang_River/HjWyIJSn">Nenjiang River</a>. The mountain range then turns toward the east and north-east, entering Russia.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2"><sup>2</sup></a> The Amur/Heilongjiang, which is a border river, forms a gorge when crossing the mountain range.
