It is the capital of the former state of the former state of the ancient Western Regions,and is the political,economic,military and cultural center of the country.

Huoyanshan mountain ravines,twists and turns vigorous,no grass. In the hot summer,the bare surface temperature can reach 75℃ in the sun,and the heat wave is suffocating. Due to the relatively horizontal formation accumulation,coupled with the rock layer of soft and hard alternate,under the years of rain erosion,the slope formed a gully. The material eroded down by the mountain forms a red flood deposit fan skirt in front of the foothills,and the front edge of the fan skirt forms numerous polygonal cracks in the dry environment.

Karez Well

 Karez Well is a kind of underground water conservancy project created in the long historical development of the working people in the arid land. The Karez Well drew out the groundwater,turning the desert into an oasis,called the "well canal" in ancient times. The main working principle of Karez Well is that people use a large amount of rainwater,glaciers and snow melt water seeping into the ground in spring and summer by using the natural slope of the mountain to draw out the surface for irrigation,so as to meet the demand of production and living water in desert areas. Karez Well in different regions have different regional characteristics in specific structure,but generally speaking,a complete Karez Well system includes four main components: shaft,culvert (underground channel),open channel (ground channel) and fault occurrence (small reservoir). Under this principle,the flow of the arez is stable and the irrigation of well water can be guaranteed.
