Xinjiang with a population of about 19.25 million
lies in the northwest of China, boasts 5,600 km
long national border and a land area of 1.66 million
square kilometers, 1/6 of total China.
In the vast Xinjiang there stand the Artai Mountain
in the north and Kunlun and Kamakunlun mountains
in the south. In the center of the region there
are two basins- Talimu and Zunger. Xinjiang has
plenty of No.1 in China, among which, the Bositen
Lake is the largest inland fresh water lake; Takelamagan
the vastest desert, Talimu the longest inland river
and the lake in the Bayingbuluke Grassland the biggest
swan lake… There are also many other places of interests
such as the Aiding Lake, known as the second low
land in the world just next to the Dead Sea in the
Mid-east; the Heaven Pool, entitled "the gem
on the Heaven Mountain" ; the diversifolious
poplar forest, having the reputation as the hero
tree combating the desert; the Kaner Well, the Great

The combination of long history, abundant cultures,
unique ethnic folk arts and rich natural resources
