Ruoqiang County, the most magical county in Xinjiang, has five best administrative divisions and towns in China.

Xinjiang is a magical place, with many firsts in the world and the first in the country. However, town planners believe that the most magical place in Xinjiang is not the magical Qitai County, not the Ili in the south of the Yangtze River in the western regions, but Ruoqiang County, which is vast and sparsely populated.

Ruoqiang County has the largest and most special administrative region in the world, such as Loulan Jujube, the best hometown of jujube in China, Lop Nur, the largest town in China, Lop Nur, the largest potassium salt storage place in China, Altun Mountain National Nature Reserve, the largest national nature reserve in China, and the only national wild camel nature reserve in China. But this paper only introduces the administrative divisions and towns of Ruoqiang County, which is one of the top five in China:

1. Ruoqiang County is the county with the largest administrative area in China, with an administrative division area of 202,300 square kilometers. Among 197 countries in the world (countries recognized by the United Nations), Ruoqiang County can rank 85th in the world, surpassing 1 12 countries. The land area of Ruoqiang County is equivalent to three Ireland, about ten Kuwait, and about two Zhejiang provinces or two Jiangsu provinces.

From 2006 to 2008, Town Planning Jun worked in the 36th Regiment of the 2nd Division of Xinjiang Corps in Ruoqiang County. At that time, although Ruoqiang County was quite large, he always went to the headquarters of the Second Division of Korla City on business, leaving at ten in the morning and arriving at five in the afternoon. Every time I go from the regimental headquarters to the No.1 and No.2 hydropower stations in Milan, Altun Mountain, I have to ride a motorcycle at a speed of 80 km/h for an hour or two.

But I still can't feel the exaggerated feeling that such a county is equivalent to the area of one or two provinces if it is placed in the eastern coastal area. Because the eastern coastal areas are densely populated, from one province to another, we have to pass through several prefecture-level cities and county-level cities, and the scenery along the way is really rich. Most parts of Ruoqiang County are desert, Gobi desert or bare mountains, and the scenery is relatively simple, so the journey is very boring, so I don't think it is far away, and I don't think the area of Ruoqiang County is visually exaggerated.

2. Ruoqiang County is the county with the lowest population density in China. Ruoqiang County is the county with the largest land area in China, but the registered population is only 34,300, ranking 46th among the counties with the least registered population, while the total resident population is 62,000 (the data of the seventh census has not been published), and the population density per square kilometer is 0.3. Therefore, Ruoqiang County is undoubtedly the county with the smallest population density in China. Nevertheless, the population of Ruoqiang County is mainly concentrated in several small oasis towns, such as Ruoqiang Oasis (Ruoqiang Town, Tieganlike Township, Wutamu Township), Milan Oasis of the 36th Corps (Milan Town, Lop Nur Town) and Vashxia Oasis (Vashxia Town), all of which are the seat of the county. These oasis towns are relatively densely populated, and the population density is not small.

Lop Nur, the largest town in China, is located in the northeast of Ruoqiang County, with an area of 52,000 square kilometers and a permanent population of more than 7,000. This is a modern new town integrating industry and tourism, and it is also the largest town in China. What is the concept of 52,000 square kilometers? That is, it exceeds the land area of seven provincial administrative regions, including Taiwan Province Province, Hainan, Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and Macao Special Administrative Region.

4. Qimantage Township in Ruoqiang County has four best in the country. The first "the best in the country" is Qimantage Township, which is 560 kilometers away from Ruoqiang County and is the farthest township in the country. What is the concept of 560 kilometers? It is equivalent to the distance from Beijing to Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi, and from Shanghai to Xuzhou, Jiangsu. People from Qimantage Township went to Ruoqiang County to do something, and the result was equivalent to several provinces. The second "best in the country" is that Qimantage Township is the largest administrative region in the country, because the total area of Qimantage Township is 65,600 square kilometers, which is equivalent to the area of Ningxia Autonomous Region.

The third "best in the country" is that Qimantage Township is the township with the least population in the country. Yumai Township, Zi Long County, Shannan City, Xizang Autonomous Region (Baidu Encyclopedia or online articles) has always been recognized as the least populated township in China. This is because during the period of 1984- 1995, there was only one family of four in Yumai Township, Tibet. The father was the head of the township, and their two daughters were the only villagers. At the time of the sixth population census, the total population of Qimantage Township was 14. According to the China County Statistical Yearbook 20 18 (township volume), the total area of Qimantage Township was 65,600 square kilometers, and the total population at the end of 20 17 was 9. It is the largest town in China, and it is also the town with the least population. At present, although the population of Zipuqimantage Township has not been announced, the population of Yumai Township in Tibet has been announced. The resident population of Qipu Township in Yumai Township has reached 266, which is definitely far more than that of Qimantage Township. Therefore, Qimantage Township has firmly grasped the title of "the township with the least population in China".

The fourth "best in the country" is that Qimantage Township has the lowest population density in the country. Qimantage Township is the township with the largest land area and the least population in China, and naturally it is also the township with the lowest population density in China.

5. Yixun City, Ruoqiang County (located 3 kilometers east of Milan Town, 36th Regiment of Xinjiang Corps) is the earliest city in the world to open up wasteland and defend the border. Yixun City belonged to Loulan State (Shanshan State) in the Western Han Dynasty, so its address is 80 kilometers northeast of Ruoqiang County in Xinjiang today. In the fourth year of Yuan Feng in Han Dynasty (77 BC), Tu Jian, King of Loulan, asked the Han Dynasty to send generals to settle fields and valleys here. The Han Dynasty sent a Sima and 40 officials to farm in Yixun, which was the earliest city to farm and guard the border.
