“Hei Long” means Black Dragon in Chinese – the spirit and guardian of Amur River waters, protecting peoples dwelling on its shores. The mouth of the Black Dragon River is opening into Tatar Straight, that divides Sakhalin Island from the Asian Continent, and contributes its waters (now of questionable quality) both to the Sea of Okhotsk and the Sea of Japan. Total average annual discharge of Amur is 364 km3. While location of the river mouth evokes no argument, many remarkable places can compete for the title of Amur Headwaters (source of Amur). Mighty Amur has many mighty tributaries as it rushes to the Ocean. |
