Cotton in Xinjiang has become a hot topic in recent days. We began to have a general rational understanding of the cotton produced in China, that is, China is not only a big cotton producer, but also a big cotton consumer. The domestic cotton production exceeds 5 million tons, but the demand for cotton in China exceeds 7 million tons. China's cotton planting is mainly concentrated in Xinjiang, accounting for more than 80%. In addition, a certain amount of cotton is planted in the Yangtze River and Yellow River basins. Due to the unique natural conditions in Xinjiang, the quality of cotton in Xinjiang has always been top-notch, and it is the main producing area of high-quality cotton in China.

Among them, most counties in northern and southern Xinjiang are widely planted, and Shihezi in northern Xinjiang and Aksu in southern Xinjiang are the most famous cotton producing areas in China. Among them, the protagonist I want to introduce today is a cotton-producing county in Aksu, southern Xinjiang, which is one of the high-quality cotton production bases in China and a famous cotton city. This place is Awati, with an area of 13259 square kilometers and a total population of about 200,000. It belongs to the continental arid climate of warm temperate zone. In addition to cotton, Awati is also a grain and fruit production base in Aksu.

Although Awati is located in Xinjiang, close to the desert and has a dry climate, people's living standards have improved very rapidly in recent years.

Awati's long-staple cotton is also of good quality, and it is known as "the hometown of long-staple cotton in China". In fact, not only Awati, but also many surrounding counties are high-quality producing areas of long-staple cotton, such as Shaya County, bachu county County and Mohammad County. Cotton is grown in almost all areas of Xinjiang. Xinjiang's alkaline soil, abundant sunshine, stable water source and long cotton growth time are the main reasons for the high quality of cotton in Xinjiang.

Awati has a vast territory and the traffic environment has been greatly improved in recent years. More importantly, Awati is also one of the counties suitable for tourism in southern Xinjiang, and the famous Taklimakan Desert is located in the south of Bostan Ranch. Populus euphratica Forest Park is on the Yarkant River. Visitors can enjoy the trees growing in this desert and experience the legendary Millennium Populus euphratica myth. In addition, there are Yuman Tourist Scenic Area and Duolang Tribal Scenic Area, which are all worth visiting!
