Manas - Manas

A county on the southern edge of the Junggar Basin in the northern part of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, China. It belongs to the Changji Hui Autonomous Prefecture. The permanent population is 237,558 (2010). It is an oasis region at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, with the Manas River flowing north through the county. Livestock farming and wheat and cotton cultivation are thriving, making it the main cotton-producing region in the northwest inland region. In the 1950s, the People's Liberation Army of China and others began reclamation of the sandy land, and an irrigation network was developed. Spinning factories, coal chemical factories, and thermal power plants are located here. The Lanxin Line runs through the county.
