中国、新疆(しんきょう)ウイグル自治区北部、ジュンガル盆地の南縁にある県。昌吉(しょうきつ)回族自治州に属する。常住人口23万7558(2010)。天山(てんざん)山脈北麓のオアシス地帯でマナス河が県内を北流する。牧畜をはじめ小麦やワタの栽培が盛んで、北西内陸綿作地帯の主産地をなす。1950年代、中国人民解放軍などにより砂地の開墾が進み、灌漑(かんがい)網が発達した。紡績、石炭化学などの工場や火力発電所が立地する。県内を蘭新(らんしん)線が通る。 [駒井正一・編集部 2018年1月19日] [参照項目] | |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
