Where is Xinjiang located?

Xinjiang is located in the Eurasian Continent, bordering eight countries of Russia, India, Afghanistan, etc. with a border line of 5,600 km. In old days, it is the hub of the world-known "Silk Road" communicating the east and the west, and now it is an indispensable part of the second "Eurasian Continent Bridge". The topography of Xinjiang can be summarized as "two basins clipped in three mountains" with Altai Mountain in the northern part, Kunlun Mountain in the southern part, and Tianshan Mountain lying across the central. Junggar Basin is clipped between Altai Mountain and Tianshan Mountain with an area of about 200,000 square kilometers; In the middle of Kunlun Mountain and Tianshan Mountain lies the Tarim Basin, with an area of about 530,000 square kilometers, and the Taklimakan Desert is in the middle of the basin, with an area of about 330,000 square km, which is the world's second largest mobile desert. The 2,100 kilometer-long Tarim River is the longest inland river. In eastern Xinjiang lies the Turpan Basin, where the lowest point is minus 154 meters, which is the lowest point in Asia.
