The Bayan Har Mountains, formerly known as the Bayen-káras[2] or Bayan-Kara-Ula, are a mountain range in Qinghai Province. The name is Mongolian for "Rich and Black".[3] 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 in the basin of Yueguzonglie, which is located in the northern part of the range.[4]
