It borders on Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Pakistan, Mongolia, India and the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. In history, it is an important channel of the ancient Silk Road.

In 60 BC, the central government of the Western Han Dynasty established the western region capital protectorate, and Xinjiang officially became a part of Chinese territory. In 1884, the Qing government set up a province in Xinjiang. Xinjiang was peacefully liberated in 1949. On October 1, 1955, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region was officially established.
