Molcha River

The Molcha River (Chinese: 莫勒切河), also known as Mòlèqiē Hé in the Uighur language, forms a vast alluvial fan at the southern border of the Taklamakan Desert, as it leaves the Altyn-Tagh mountains and enters the desert in the western part of the Qiemo County. The left side appears blue from water flowing in many streams. Around May, the river is filled with snow/glacier meltwater.
