Xinjiang lies between 73 40' ~ 9618' east longitude and 34 25' ~ 4810' north latitude. China is a provincial administrative region with the largest land area. The total area of Xinjiang accounts for one sixth of China (654.38+0.66 million square kilometers), and the length of the border line accounts for one quarter (more than 5,000 kilometers), which is more than 40,000 square kilometers eight times the total area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.

Mountains and basins are arranged alternately, and the basins are surrounded by mountains, which is called "three mountains and two basins". There are Altai Mountains in the north and Kunlun Mountains in the south. Tianshan Mountain is located in the middle of Xinjiang, which divides Xinjiang into two parts: Tarim Basin in the south and Junggar Basin in the north. It is customary to call the south of Tianshan Mountain South Xinjiang, the north of Tianshan Mountain North Xinjiang, and Hami and Turpan Basin East Xinjiang.
