The China–North Korea border is the international border separating China and North Korea. ==Geography== The border is long.〔Onishi, Norimitsu. "(Tension, Desperation: The China-North Korean Border )." ''The New York Times''. October 22, 2006. Retrieved on October 23, 2012.〕 From west to east, the Yalu River,〔Kanto, Dick K. and Mark E. Manyin. ''China-North Korea Relations''. DIANE Publishing. December 28, 2010. (10 ). Retrieved from Google Books on October 23, 2012. ISBN 1437985114, 9781437985115.〕 Paektu Mountain, and the Tumen River divide the two countries. Dandong, in the Liaoning Province of China, on the Yalu River delta, is the largest city on the border.〔Rogers, Jenny. "(New group reaches out to China )." ''Gold Coast Bulletin''. October 2, 2012. Retrieved on October 23, 2012.〕 On the other side of the river is the city of Sinuiju in North Pyongan Province, North Korea. The two cities are situated on the Yalu river delta at the western end of the border, near the Yellow Sea. Their waterfronts face each other and are connected by the Sino-Korean Friendship Bridge. There are 205 islands on the Yalu. A 1962 border treaty between North Korea and China split the islands according to which ethnic group were living on each island. North Korea possesses 127 and China 78. Due to the division criteria, some islands such as Hwanggumpyong Island belong to North Korea but abut the Chinese side of the river. Both countries have navigation rights on the river, including in the delta. The source of the Yalu is Heaven Lake on Paektu Mountain, which is considered the birthplace of the Korean and Manchu peoples. This lake is also the source of the Tumen River which forms the eastern portion of the border. There is a significant number of ethnic Koreans living on the Chinese side of the border, particularly in the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「China–North Korea border」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
