The Hotan River (also known as the Khotan River or the Ho-t'ien River) is formed by the union of the White Jade (Yurungkash) and Karakash (Black Jade) Rivers, which flow north from the Kunlun Mountains into the Taklamakan Desert in northern China. The two rivers unite towards the middle of the desert, some 145 kilometres (90 mi) north of the town of Hotan. The river then flows 290 kilometres (180 mi) northwards across the desert and empties itself into the Tarim River.[2] Because the river is fed by melting snow from the mountains, it only carries water during the summer and is dry the rest of the year. Prior to construction of the Tarim Desert Highway in 1995, the Hotan river bed provided the only transportation system across the Tarim Basin.[3]

Il fiume Khotan (o Hotan o Ho-t'ien; cinese:和田河; pinyin: Hétián hé) è formato dall'unione dello Yurungkash (fiume di giada bianca) e del Karakash (fiume di giada nera), che scorrono verso nord dai monti Kunlun entrando nel deserto di Taklamakan in Cina settentrionale. I due fiumi si uniscono al centro del deserto, circa 145 km a nord della città di Khotan. Il fiume scorre poi per 290 km a nord in mezzo al deserto gettaqndosi poi nel fiume Tarim.[1] Dato che il fiume è rifornito solo dalle nevi in scioglimento sulle montagne, trasporta acqua d'estate ed è secco nel resto dell'anno. Il letto del fiume Khotan è il solo sistema di trasporto nel bacino del Tarim.[2][ru] Хотан (река)
