View source for Borohoro Mountains

The '''Borohoro''' Mountains ({{zh|s=博罗科努山|p=Bóluōkēnǔ shān|w=P'o-lo-k'o-nu shan}}) is one of the major ranges of the [[Tian Shan]] mountain system. It is almost entirely located within in China's [[Xinjiang|Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region]], with only a few westernmost peaks being in [[Kazakhstan]].

The Borohoro Range runs in the general west-north-west to east-south-east direction. At its eastern end, southwest of [[Ürümqi]], it joins the main range of the Tian Shan; at the western end, near the [[China–Kazakhstan border]], it joins the [[Dzungarian Alatau]].

The Borohoro Range separates the [[Dzungarian Basin]] in the north from the [[Ili River]] Basin in the south. Streams flowing from the northern slope of the Borohoro flow toward the [[Aibi Lake]] or the [[Manas Lake]]; those rising on the southern slope flow toward the Ili River, which flows into Kazakhstan's [[Lake Balkhash]].

The border between Xinjiang's [[Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture]] and [[Bortala Mongol Autonomous Prefecture]] runs along the Borohoro Range.
