The Ulungur River or Urungu ({{lang-mn|Булган гол|translit=Öröngö Gol}}, {{lang-zh|c=乌伦古河|p=Wūlúngǔ hé}}), in its upper reaches in Mongolia known as the Bulgan River ({{lang-mn|Булган гол}}), is a river of China and Mongolia. It rises in the Altai Mountains in western Mongolia, flows south into China's Xinjiang (Altay Prefecture), where it turns north-west to empty into the Ulungur Lake. It is about 700 km long.

The Irtysh–Karamay Canal crosses the Ulungur River at {{coord|46|36|15|N|87|56|52|E|display=inline|region:CN-62_type:landmark}}, on an aqueduct.

Geological history

In the early Quaternary, the Ulungur (as well as the upper Irtysh) flowed into the Dzungarian Basin, terminating in a large lake (the "Old Manas Lake") in the region of today's Lake Manas. Later tectonic movements redirected the Ulungur onto its current course.[2]

Wildlife

The Sino-Mongolian beaver, Castor fiber birulai, is found only in the basin of the Ulungur River. The population is considered endangered. The Bulgan Beaver Nature Reserve ({{zh|布尔根河河狸自然保护区}}; {{coord|46|12|00|N|90|45|00|E|display=inline|region:CN-62_type:landmark}}) has been established on the Bulgan River (a tributary of the Ulungur River) in Qinggil (Qinghe) County in 1980 to protect the creatures.[3][4][5]
