The Tumen River, also called the Tuman River ((:tumanɡaŋ); called the ''Duman'' in South Korea), is a long river that serves as part of the boundary between China, North Korea and Russia, rising on the slopes of Mount Paektu and flowing into the Sea of Japan. The river flows in northeast Asia, on the border between China and North Korea in its upper reaches, and between North Korea and Russia in its last before entering the Sea of Japan. The river forms much of the southern border of Jilin Province in Northeast China and the northern borders of North Korea's North Hamgyong and Ryanggang provinces. Baekdu Mountain on the Chinese-North Korean border is the source of the river,〔 Much of the information comes from the captions to the large illustrated map published with the newspaper article and available online with it.〕 as well as of the Yalu River (which forms the western portion of the border of North Korea and China). The name of the river comes from the Mongolian word ''tümen'', meaning "ten thousand" or a myriad. This river is badly polluted by the nearby factories of North Korea and China; however, it still remains a major tourist attraction in the area. In Tumen, Jilin, China, a riverfront promenade has restaurants where patrons can gaze across the river into North Korea.〔 The Russian name of the river is ''Tumannaya'', literally meaning ''foggy''. In 1938 the Japanese built the Tumen River Bridge, where the Quan River meets the Tumen River, between the villages of Wonjong (Hunchun) and Quanhe. Important cities and towns on the river are Hoeryong and Onsong in North Korea, Tumen and Nanping (Nanpingzhen, 南坪镇, in Helong County-level city) in China. In 1995, the People's Republic of China, Mongolia, Russia and South Korea signed three agreements to create the Tumen River Economic Development Area.〔(sourced from HighBeam Research)〕 ==Noktundo== (詳細はNoktundo, has been a boundary contention between Russia and North Korea. The Qing Dynasty ceded the island to Russia as part of the Primorsky Maritimes (East Tartary) in the 1860 Treaty of Peking.〔 In 1990, the former Soviet Union and North Korea signed a border treaty which made the border run through the center of the river, leaving territory of the former island on Russian side. South Korea refuses to acknowledge the treaty and demanded that Russia returns the territory to Korea. 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「Tumen River」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
