An eastern extension of the [[Tarbagatai Mountains]], it starts on the China-Kazakhstan border and continues east into China, where it forms the border between the [[Hoboksar Mongol Autonomous County]] and [[Jeminay County]] of [[Xinjiang]].<br /> <br /> The highest peak of the range, and of the entire Saur-Tarbagatai mountain system, is the ice-capped [[Sauyr Zhotasy]], also known as the Muz Tau.<br /> <br /> Streams flowing south from the Saur make irrigated agriculture possible, although on a very limited scale, in their valleys in Hoboksar County. One of them reaches as far as the large oasis seen on Google Maps at {{coord|46|10|00|N|86|25|00|E|display=inline|region:CN-62_type:landmark}}, in the southern part of [[Xiazigai]] Township (夏孜盖乡, ''Xiàzīgài xiāng''). Apparently it is streams like this that Chinese geographers describe as &quot;seasonal rivers sourcing from the northern mountains&quot; whose water occasionally reaches the [[Manas Lake]].&lt;ref name=arid&gt;{{citation|journal=JOURNAL OF ARID LAND|year=2010|volume=2|issue=3|pages=167–173|title=Tectonic geomorphological characteristics for evolution of the Manas Lake<br /> |first=Yonghui|last=Yao|first2=Huiguo|last2=Li<br /> |url=http://jal.xjegi.com/EN/article/downloadArticleFile.do?attachType=PDF&amp;id=51}} (p.171)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Notes==<br /> {{reflist}}<br /> <br /> {{Mountain ranges of China}}<br /> &lt;!--<br /> |lat_dir = N|lat_deg = 47|lat_min = 02|lat_sec = 56<br /> |lon_dir = E|lon_deg = 85|lon_min = 33|lon_sec = 59 --&gt;<br /> {{coord|47|04|00|N|85|34|00|E|display=title}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Mountain ranges of Xinjiang]]<br /> [[Category:Mountain ranges of Kazakhstan]]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{Xinjiang-geo-stub}}<br /> {{Kazakhstan-geo-stub}}</div>
