Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, the largest province in China, lies in the middle of Eurasian Continent. This is one of the areas in the world, which is farthest from any seas. Xinjiang shares borders with eight countries, Mongolia in the Northeast, Russia, Kazakhstan, and Kirghizstan and Tadzhikistan in the Northwest, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India in the South. Its borderline is about 5400 kms long. It is a land of more than 1600000 square kms, one-sixths of the total territory of China; its territory is three times larger than the territory of France, 7 times larger than that of UK, or four and half times larger than that of Japan.
　　Xinjiang is unique with its natural geographical features. It is in this land that you can enjoy almost all kinds of natural wanders except seas and oceans in the world: snow-capped peaks and ridges and glaciers bordering with Gobi-deserts, High-mountain lakes hiding in the endless forests, rivers flowing hundreds of miles through deserts and grasslands, beautiful grassland extending as far as one's eye can reach, desert mirages appearing here and there, as if the reflections of the ancient towns and oasis villages coming back to host you. Xinjiang is also unique with its natural resources; oil reserves, coal reserves and metal reserves are the richest in China. The magnificent land nourishes its people, no matter where you are, in oases or grassland, you may see people of different ethnic groups, and enjoys their unique cultures.
　　The Tianshan Mountain Ranges, one of the largest in Asia, lie in the middle of Xinjiang, dividing it into north and south. To the south of the Tianshan Mountains lies the largest basin of China: the Tarim Basin, in the heart of which the great and mysterious the Taklamakan Desert lies deadly silent. The Basin and Desert have seen great changes of the nature and ancient civilizations and have left rich treasures. No one would not admire the countless ruins and sites of the ancient Central Asian civilizations, which were created by the peoples in the long history.
　　The Tarim Basin is circled by great mountains. In the North is the Tianshan Mountains, in the West, lies the Pamirs -- the Roof of the World; in the South and Southwest faces the Kunlun Mountain Ranges, Kara-kunlun Mountains and Alkin Mountains. Of the world's fourteen peaks which are above 8000 meter elevation, four are in Xinjiang, with the K2, at elevation 8611 meters, the second highest in the world. There are eleven peaks of the mountain systems open to mountain climbing. In addition, these great mountain ranges, with hundreds of year-round snow-covered peaks and ridges, feed 19091 glaciers, which function as “the solid reservoirs or II natural source of reservoirs" that not only feed grassland, forests as well as varieties of plants and wild animals, but also provide the Tarim Basin with the source of life - water, thus making Central Asials largest oasis group. The glaciers and accumulated snow of the mountains nourishes the largest inland river of China -- the Tarim River, which flows through the Basin, together with other smaller rivers and countless lakes and pools, nurtures the oases embedded along the edges of the Basin with what is called "life-blood" water. Thus, since the very ancient times, oasis towns have developed. Declined and disappeared, then developed again with changing river beds, with over forty ruins of ancient towns being discovered in or along the Basin. So today, there are the names of the series of oasis towns like pearls stretching along the Taklamakan: Kurle, Kuche, Baichen, Aksu, Kashgar, Shache (Yakand), Hotian, Qiemo, Ruoqiang, etc. And Turpan, which is called " the land of fire ", and Shanshan, well known for its Hami Melons, is situated to the south of the Tianshan Mountains, controlling the important transportation line between the South and North Xinjiang.
　　The Zhungar Basin, the second largest in the region, is to the north of the Tianshan Mountains, which used to be a vast sea and wet land with forests and grassland hundreds of millions of years ago. Though now it is hard to trace its glorious past, the evolution of nature has left us with mysteries and wonders: rich oil and coal reserve, large areas of petrified trees, eastern part of the North Xinjiang includes Yili, Tacheng and Boenala, and the landscapes are characteristic of mountains and basins, with luxuriant natural forests and pastures, which are so beautiful that they are called “lush southern type land north of the Great Wall” in China.
　　Hami City is in the eastern Xinjiang, which is a key gate to Xinjiang from the East.
　　Xinjiang holds quite a lot of the first places II in China. It is one of the most important areas of animal husbandry production, one of the few important bases of the country for cotton, sugar and grain; And with its abundant resources of oil, gas and other minerals, Xinjiang is eventually developing into an important base of China’s energy production.
　　Xinjiang is well known for its fruits and melons, of the famous fruits and melons, grapes of Turpan, Hami melons of Shanshan, apples of Yili River Valley, fragrant pears of Kurle and white apricots of Kuche, enjoy high reputation both in China and abroad.
Xinjiang, a mysterious and prosperous land, attracts more and more tourists from all over the world with its vastness and unique characters.
