The Bureya River (Russian: Бурея) is a 623 km long south-flowing tributary of the Amur River. Its name comes from the Evenk word birija, meaning river. It is formed from the junction of the Pravaya (right) Bureya and the Levaya (left) Bureya.

Famous quotes containing the word river:
“Is not disease the rule of existence? There is not a lily pad floating on the river but has been riddled by insects. Almost every shrub and tree has its gall, oftentimes esteemed its chief ornament and hardly to be distinguished from the fruit. If misery loves company, misery has company enough. Now, at midsummer, find me a perfect leaf or fruit.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
