Here, the flow always remains on the territory of the Republic of Sakha ( Yakutia) and flows into four kilometers above the town Wiljuisk in the Wiljui.

The catchment area of ​​49,800 km ² comprises Tjung. The average monthly water flow is 180 m³ / s In estuaries near the river is about 150 feet wide, up to two feet deep, and its flow rate is 0.6 m / s The main tributaries are Tschimidikjan ( Чимидикян ) and Dschippa ( Джиппа ), both from the left.

The Tjung freezes from October until the second half of May / beginning of June.

It is navigable in the lower reaches to 273 miles from the pier Talygninskaja, but is not used for regular inland navigation, as it flows through sparsely populated and little -used area economically.

Left ( east ) of the middle reaches of the Tjung, in the area of ​​the confluence of the Dschippa, there are sand dune areas (so-called Tukulane ), which occupy a total area of 167 km ².
