outdoors | The 10 Longest Rivers in the World

The Amur River (known as Heilong Jiang in China) forms a natural border between the unspoiled wilderness of northeast China and southwest Russia.

The river starts its course in the steppes of Mongolia and empties into the Strait of Tartary, over 2,700 miles to the east. Encompassing the river is an enormous region of pristine grasslands and virgin forests. In this largely untouched ecosystem, some 6,000 plant species thrive, including the Korean pine and wild ginseng. It's also a natural habitat for approximately 600 bird species, 200 mammals, and 130 types of fish.
