Bayingolin

Within the regional setting of Xinjiang, the spatial identity of Bayingolin is first captured by this local fact: “Bayingolin spans the swan lakes of Bayanbulak grassland, Bosten Lake, the fragrant pears of Korla and the ruins of ancient Loulan.” It points to an observable local combination in which the setting of Bayingolin is shaped by both environment and lived practice. Historical development brought natural conditions and human activity into repeated negotiation, leaving traces in settlement, routes, and memory.
