It is the 9th longest tributary of the Amur, with a length of 349 kilometres (217 mi)[1] and a drainage basin area of 11,800 square kilometres (4,600 sq mi).[2][1] The river was known as "Khungari" (Хунгари) until the 1972 Renaming of geographical sites in the Russian Far East.[3] The town of Gurskoe, as well as the villages of Kenai, Uktur and Snezhny are located by the river.
