Xinjiang Diary
Having spent a fascinating week in Xinjiang, CRI reporter Liu Min has a lot to share.
Fruit Valley
Fruit valley, also called Talqi Valley, built in the early C.13th, was an important passage for the transportation between east and west.
Sayram Lake
Legend has that Sayram Lake is made by the tears of two young kazak lovers...
Ili River
Ili River, one of the largest mountain rivers in Xinjiang, takes its beginning in eastern Mt. Tianshan.
In ancient times, Ili was part of the state of Wusun, a tributary of the Xiongnu. Wusun was replaced by Western Tujue Khnate in 552. During Tang Dynasty, Khnate was part of the Tang Empire. It became Chahetai Khnate during Yuan Dynasty. In 1949, Ili was made a special administrative area of Xinjiang, with one city and 9 counties, and was upgraded to a city in 1952.
