Tarim Basin

The basin is distributed in a circular pattern, with a gravel Gobi connected to the mountain on the edge, a vast desert in the center, an alluvial fan and an alluvial plain between the edge and the desert, and an oasis distribution. The Tarim River is located on the northern edge of the basin and the water flows eastward.

Because the basin is rich in oil and other mineral resources, agriculture is mainly oasis agriculture. The Taklamakan Desert is located in the center of the Tarim Basin, almost the whole year without rain, and is considered to contain rich oil and gas, making a major contribution to the country.

I didn't expect that after living in Tarim for more than ten years, I saw the Tarim Basin. I still feel very kind. Be a camel, and then turn around in the Tarim Desert. It is also a way of leisure travel.

The Tarim Basin is between 800 and 1300 meters above sea level, and the terrain is high and low in the west and east. The eastern Lobbo is the lowest in the basin and the salt center, with an altitude of about 780 meters. The Tarim Basin is bordered by mountains, Gobi and oasis (alluvial plains), and the Taklamakan Desert is in the middle, ranging from 2,000 to 4,000 kilometers in the Pacific, Indian Ocean, Atlantic Ocean and Arctic Ocean. Because of the high mountains in the Tarim Basin, the wet air flow of the ocean is difficult to reach, and the Taklamakan Desert is almost non-rainy all year round. The average annual rainfall is 15-20 millimeters, and the average annual evaporation is as high as 2500-3400 millimeters.

The Tarim Basin is surrounded by Tianshan Mountains, Pamir Plateau, Kunlun Mountains and Arjin Mountains in counterclockwise direction. The eastern side of the mountain is slightly lower, and there is only a valley about 70 kilometers wide that is connected to the Hexi Corridor. The Tarim Basin is elliptical, with the longest east-west about 1,500 kilometers, the widest north-south about 600 kilometers, and the area about 55.59 million square kilometers. It is the largest basin in China.

The Tarim Basin is oval, with the longest east and west about 1,500 kilometers, the widest north and south about 600 kilometers, and the total area about 55.59 million square kilometers. The altitude of the Tarim Basin is between 800 and 1300 meters, the terrain is high and low in the west, and the eastern Luobubo is the lowest in the basin and the salt center, with an altitude of about 780 meters.

The Tarim Basin in the southern foot of Tianshan Mountain is the largest inland basin in China. The yellow sand, sand dunes stretching, and the constantly moving Taklamakan Desert witnessed the rise and decline of many ancient Western countries here.
