Is there an oasis in the Taklimakan Desert in Xinjiang? How big is it? Can you build a city in it? Like Dubai, like Las Vegas.

There is an oasis, but it is very small, similar to the size of a village, and it is not suitable for a city. The foundation in the sand is deep enough to build houses and skyscrapers, but you can't build a city, because there are no resources there. If people live there unsustainably, building a city is not just about the right environment, but needs social conditions. Dubai has oil, Las Vegas has transportation inland, Taklimakan Desert is on the border, and there are many forces in East Turkistan and Xinjiang. Without a stable social environment, the economy cannot develop.
