Buir Lake (Template:Langx; Template:Zh) is a freshwater lake that straddles the border between Mongolia and China. It lies within the Buir Lake Depression. The Chinese city of Hulunbuir is named after both this lake and Hulun Lake, which lies entirely on the Chinese side of the border in Inner Mongolia.[1]

In 1388, Ming forces under Lan Yu won a major victory over the Northern Yuan on the Buir Lake region. Northern Yuan ruler Tögüs Temür tried to escape but was killed shortly afterwards.[2]

It is currently the only place where Mongolian navy is useful and patrols, with a small number of motorboats used by border guards. Indeed, Mongolia has no navy due to its landlocked status, since its fleet sank during the Mongol invasions of Japan.
