Khotan River
The Khotan River (also Hotan River or Ho-t’ien River; Chinese: 和田河; pinyin: Hétián hé) is formed by the union of the White Jade (Yurungkash) and Black Jade (Karakash) Rivers, which flow north from the Kunlun Mountains into the Taklamakan Desert in northern China. The two rivers unite towards the middle of the desert, some 145 km (90 miles) north of the town of Khotan.
