The North of Xinjiang AR :
The East of Xinjiang AR :
The Eastern Half of Xinjiang-Uygur AR is taken as all Territories west of the Bogda Shan Mountain Range. This region is mainly noted for its historic Monuments and landscapes such as the Yadan Landforms on the Gansu-Xinjiang Border, Famous Lop Nor and the Great Wall of China remnants extending out of Yumen (Jade Gate) through the Taklamakan Desert territories towards Lop Nur (now a dried out salt lake). Nearby the dry Lop Nor are the Lost City archelogical sites of Loulan (KuLoulan) and Miran (near Charklik (Ruochiang).
The East of Xinjiang AR is also the location of the large Ethnic Minority enclave of Bayin Gholin Mongol Autonomous Prefecture, the home of a large concentration of Ethnic Mongolians in China.
The Most well-known Cities and Towns in West Xinjiang AR are Hami also known as Kumul and the Oasis of Turpan near Ayding Lake (=Gol) and located south and beneath the Bogda Shan Range. Especially Turpan is a famous Oasis town popular with Tourists due to its History as an important settlement on the Silk Road. However, at Hami (Kumul) located along the Northern trajectory of the Chinese Silk Road departing out of Dunhuang (just across the border in Gansu Province), was an crossing point where a small Northern Branch of the Silk Road trajectory split off, heading north along the Bogda Shan Range through Oasis in the South of the Dzungar Depression to destinations in current day Kazachstan and beyond.

The West of Xinjiang AR :
At the very center of the Southern Half of Xinjiang-Uygur AR lies the wild Taklamakan Desert along which edges travel the Tarim River in the North and a string of Oasis and Gletsjer-fed rivers in the South. These were the pathways of the Northern and Southern Routes of the ancient Silk Road in this vast area. The main feature of the Taklamakan Desert itself are its ever shifting sands and high sand dunes combined with an extremely arid climate.
The Edges of the Taklamakan Desert however sustained a number of important Civilizations in history and  are famous for their lost Oasis Cities, once mighty independant Kingdoms on the pathway of the Silk Road. First and foremost among these is the Lost City of Loulan (rediscovered by Svedish Explorer Sven Hedin), on the West-side of former Lop Nur and at the End of the Konqi River where it used to flow into the Lake. Nearby to the South-West lies another lost Oasis and archeoligical site, the City of Miran.
Follow the rivers along both rims of eliptically the Taklamakan Desert to discover more ancient Towns and (small) Cities. In the South historically the most of famous of these are Charklik (Ruochiang), Cherchen (or Qiemo), Niya or Minfeng Town, Yutian or Keriya, Hotan (Hetian), Yecheng (Kargilik) and Yarkand (or Yarkent). In the North they are Hami (Kumul), Turpan Oasis, Korla (or Kuerle), Tumtux and finally in the far west the City of Kashgar.
Recently a cross-desert highway was constructed to cut through the center of the Taklamakan Desert Area from Niya (Minfeng) Town in the South to Luntai Town in the North.

AR
North Xinjiang-Uygur AR is defined here as the parts of Xinjiang Autonomous Region North of the Tianshan Mountain Range, Bosten Lake, the Kurukar Tag Mountains and the City of Korla (Kuerle). The North of Xinjiang then includes the Capital of Urumqi. the Cities of Changji (Capital of Changji Hui Autonomous Prefecture), Shihezi (Capital of Bayin Golin Mongol Autonomous Prefecture) , Karamai (Kelamayi') and Yining (also known as Kulja, the Capital of Ili-Kazakh Kirghiz Autonomous Prefecture). The North of Xinjiang consists for a large part of the Dzunggar Depression High Plains along the southern edge of which lie another series of Oasis fed by melting water from the glaciers atop the Bodgda Shan Range. Both to the West and the North the Dzunggar Depression is delineated by more high mountains. These Mountain Ranges are enriched with some impressive Lakes with abundant wildlife. Through the High Mountains in the West lead number of passes into the neighboring Nations of Russia and Kazachstan.
In the extreme North lies the Friendship Peak of 4374 Meters, whereas in the West the North Xinjiang is bordered by the Altai High Mountains on the other side of which lies the Republic of Mongolia.
The Most Rugged and Wild Part of Xinjiang lies in the West. At the Center of Life in this Region lies Kashgar City, surrounded by a number of desert Oasis Cities such as Yarkant (Shache') and Karghilik (Yecheng). Historically Kashgar re-unites the trajectories of the North- and South-Route of the Silk Road around the Taklamakan Desert. From Kashgar the Silk Road continues Westward through the Iron Gate (Irkeshtam Pass) of the Pamir Mountains into Kyrgyzstan. The Iron Gate and the Pass beyond were in Chinese Hands during most of the Tang Dynasty (618 AD - 907 AD). From the Area near Kashgar the Irkeshtam Pass and Torugart Pass lead into Kyrgyzstan. The path Southward leads through the Ethnic Minority Area's of both the Kirghiz and Tajik to the Khunjerab Pass and along the Karakoram Highway into Pakistan and on to Islamabad.
Further to the South-East of Kashgar lie the Karakoram Pass and the Mustagh Pass leading into the Indian-Pakistan disputed Territory of (Jamu &) Kashmir.
