Английская Википедия:Bayan Har Mountains
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Hatnote Шаблон:Infobox mountainШаблон:Chinese The Bayan Har Mountains, formerly known as the Bayen-káras[1] or Bayan-Kara-Ula, are a mountain range in Qinghai Province, northwest China. The name is Mongolian for "Rich and Black".[2] It can be viewed as one of the branches of the Kunlun Mountains. It separates the drainage areas of both the Yellow and the Yangtze rivers. The source of the Yellow River is the Yueguzonglie Basin (Gyaring-Ngoring Lakes), which is located in the northern part of the range.[3]
Fictional Mention: The wizard Shang Ko in Barbara Hambly's fantasy Bride of the Rat God is described by his grandson as "the greatest of the mages of China, the last of the line of sorcerers of the Bayan Har Shan" -- "shan" being the Chinese word for mountain/s.
