The Xilamulun River is a river in Inner Mongolia, in northeast China. It flows through the grasslands of that region, forming a valley that is hospitable to both farming and herding. The valley was once home to the Khitan people.
The Xilamulun River is the source of the Xiliao River , which in turn is one of the headwaters of the Liao River.
The musical instrument ''xiqin'' , the ancestor of China's ''huqin'' family of bowed string instruments, is believed to have originated here with the Khitans, who were formerly called by the Chinese.
