The Tuman River (Chinese: 吐曼河; pinyin: Tǔmàn Hé; Uyghur: تۇمەن دەرياسى, romanized: Tumen Deryasi) is a river in Kashgar Prefecture, Xinjiang, China. The name comes from the Uyghur word "tuman" (تۇمان, Тумән) meaning "fog". The Tuman is a minor tributary of the Tarim Basin. It is 77.6 kilometres (48.2 mi) long and receives the water from 487 square kilometres (188 mi2) of land.[1] The oasis city of Kashgar is located on the Tuman's south bank.[2][3]
