Terekty River

The Terekty River (Kazakh: i i), also known under the Sinified spelling Tielieketi (pinyin: Tiělièkètí hé), is a small river that flows from China to Kazakhstan. In its lower course the river is also known as the Kusak (Kazakh, pinyin: Kùsàkè). Along most of its course, the river flows through the very sparsely populated mountainous terrain of the southern part of Xinjiang's Yumin County; by the time it crosses the China–Kazakhstan border and enters a flat desert east of Lake Zhalanashkol, its bed is usually dry, with little water ever reaching Lake Zhalanashkol. The Terekty is mainly known as the site of a Sino-Soviet border conflict that occurred in August 1969.

Flows through: People's Republic of China.
