Korla ranks 72nd among the top 100 counties in China, ranking first in the northwest. This is the fourth time that Korla has been listed. The urban greening and ecological environment construction in Korla won the "2002 China Human Settlements Model Award".

Korla is the capital of Bazhou, located in the southeast of Xinjiang. It is a beautiful and rich treasure house with a long history and many nationalities. Bazhou is one of the three major hydropower bases in Xinjiang, and it is also an important grassland animal husbandry base. There are 36 oil and gas fields in Tarim Basin of Bazhou, with a reserve of 654.38+0.2 billion tons. It is known as the "Sea of Hope" of China's oil and gas industry and one of the three major atmospheric regions in China.
Forbes published "Top 0/00 Best Commercial Cities in Chinese mainland in 2004", and Urumqi and Korla in Xinjiang were among the top 100, ranking 60th and 94th respectively.
Korla is located in the center of Eurasia and Xinjiang, on the northeast edge of Tarim Basin, with Kuruk Mountain and Hora Mountain as branches in the north and Taklimakan Desert, the second largest desert in the world, in the south. "Korla" is Uygur language, which means "overlooking". Here is rich in fragrant pears, also known as pear city.
At present, Korla is the capital of Bayinguoleng Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture, the largest state in China, the center of politics, economy, culture, education and information in the whole state, and one of the two key development cities determined by the Party Committee of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. The total area of the city is 7 1 16.9 square kilometers, with a total population of 420,000.
Korla is the capital of Bayinguoleng Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture in Xinjiang. Bazhou is called "the first state in China", accounting for more than 25% of the total area of Xinjiang, equivalent to the sum of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Fujian provinces, and is the largest regional autonomous prefecture in China.
Visitors who love history and like adventure can appreciate the charm of the ancient city of Loulan, the "Oriental Pompeii", and express their homesickness in Bazhou. You can ride a camel to visit Ya Dan Dragon City in Lop Nur, which is full of mystery and imagines the lost civilization. You can also drive to Altun Mountain Wildlife Reserve to watch wild animals such as wild yak, Tibetan antelope and Tibetan wild donkey.
Korla area is a place with many "the best in China". This beautiful and rich area has:
Bosten Lake is the largest inland freshwater lake in China, and is known as a water park in the desert.
Tarim River, the longest inland river in China, flows through here, and the Populus euphratica forests on both sides of the river are accompanied by the vast Taklimakan sand sea, forming a natural "green corridor";
Bayinbuluke Swan Lake Nature Reserve is the largest swan reserve in China, located on Bayinbuluke grassland in alpine pasture.
It also owns the Ala Jinshan Nature Reserve, the largest inland wildlife reserve in the world. Experts call it a "natural zoo" and a "bird paradise".
If the tourists from afar are tired, they can also stroll on the Bayinbuluke grassland rich in water and grass. The hospitable Mongolian herders prepared delicious koumiss and mutton.
In fact, it is enough to go to Xinjiang and Korla, because there are mountains, deserts, rivers, grasslands and big cities. . . . .
Train tickets to Korla (from Xi 'an) and train tickets back from Korla are easy to buy, and the service of this train is really good, and the service in Korla is very good. The transportation is very convenient, but I suggest that it is best to take the train from Xi 'an to Urumqi, and then from Urumqi to Xi 'an, because the train from Urumqi to Korla is a bit slow (you don't mind taking it slowly, it's very affordable), so the distance is the same. Or flying is also good.
