Since then, Qiemo’s ties with the mainland have continued to strengthen. In the third year of Emperor Taiping's reign (442) in the Northern Wei Dynasty, King Shanshan led more than 4,000 households to Qiemo in order to avoid war. In the fifth year of Daye of the Sui Dynasty (609), the Sui Dynasty established a county in Qiemo to control the two counties of Suning and Furong.

In the Yuan Dynasty, more than 1,000 people moved from the interior to live with the new auxiliary troops of the Yuan army and settled in Qiemo. In the Ming Dynasty, it was called "Zhalichang". In the 10th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (1884), the Qing government established a province in Xinjiang, which was called "Kaqiang", and again established an inspection office and established Qiemo County.
