Bayan Har Mountains

The Bayan Har Mountains, formerly known as the Bayen-káras or Bayan-Kara-Ula, are a mountain range in Qinghai Province, northwest China. The name is Mongolian for "Rich and Black". It can be viewed as one of the branches of the Kunlun Mountains. It separates the drainage areas of both the Yellow and the Yangtze rivers. The source of the Yellow River is the Yueguzonglie Basin (Gyaring-Ngoring Lakes), which is located in the northern part of the range.

They were first mentioned during Shinnok's Uprising when several Kombatants noticed the sudden impact of a fallen meteor beside the chain. The massive crater left behind Fujin who was wounded from battle against the fallen Elder God invading the heavens. Kung Lao, Nightwolf, Aiko, Liu, Kai, and soon Raiden arrived for his aide. Eventually Sonya and Johnny, then Kuai, arrived via black hawk as she generated a portal to Edenia. This was also the location where Lao and Aiko arrived as the Mountains was the previous pinpoint of Sonya's generator as they escorted the POWs to the Wu Shi Academy. It was visited again as Raiden said farewell to his disciples once he was promoted to Elder God.
In Return of the Dragon King, there were murmurs that the Temple of Elements may have been sealed within that mountain range as Sindel, Jerrod, Aiko, Kenshi, Li Mei and the royal guard were on their way to protect Shinnok's Amulet, the last Kamidogu, from Onaga and his followers. Fujin activated a portal there avoiding the very tumultuous journey.
== Trivia ==
* The Bayan Har Mountains wasn't necessarily brought up in the MK games, but rather in the MK4 prequel comic, as Sub-Zero observed the same falling meteor and Sonya generated the portal to Edenia.
