Yurungkash River

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Yurungkash or White Jade River, also spelt Yurungkax (Chinese: 白玉河; pinyin: Báiyù Hé), is a river in the Taklamakan desert of China.

This river flows north through the Khotan (Hotan) region, from the Kunlun Mountains before eventually drying up in the desert sands. The river gets its name from the white jade that is often found in its alluvial deposits.
