The Chyna begins in the southern sector of the Lena Plateau, near the sources of the Markhachan. It flows first roughly southeastwards across the plateau. About midway through its course the river bends in a wide arch and heads northeastwards, meandering strongly within the floodplain. Finally it meets the right bank of the Sinyaya, a tributary of the Lena, upstream from its mouth. The river freezes in the second half of October and stays under ice until the second half of May.There are about 150 lakes in the river basin. The main tributaries of the Chyna are the long Keibele and the long Tyympynay from the left.
