Minneapolis (/ˌmɪniˈæpəlɪs/ (listen)) is the largest city in Minnesota, United States, and the county seat of Hennepin County. The city is abundant in water, with thirteen lakes, wetlands, the Mississippi River, creeks and waterfalls. Minneapolis has its origins in timber and as the flour milling capital of the world. It occupies both banks of the Mississippi River and adjoins Saint Paul, the state capital of Minnesota.

Prior to European settlement, the site of Minneapolis was inhabited by Dakota people. The settlement was founded along Saint Anthony Falls on a section of land north of Fort Snelling; its growth is attributed to its proximity to the fort and the falls providing power for industrial activity. As of 2021[update], the city has an estimated 425,336 inhabitants. It is the most populous city in the state and the 46th-most-populous city in the United States. Minneapolis, Saint Paul and the surrounding area are collectively known as the Twin Cities.

Minneapolis has one of the most extensive public park systems in the US; many of these parks are connected by the Grand Rounds National Scenic Byway. Biking and walking trails, some of which follow abandoned railroad lines, run through many parts of the city; such as the Mill District in the Saint Anthony Falls Historic District, around the banks of Lake of the Isles, Bde Maka Ska, and Lake Harriet, and by Minnehaha Falls. Minneapolis has cold, snowy winters and hot, humid summers. Minneapolis is the birthplace of General Mills, Pillsbury Company, and the Target Corporation. The city's cultural offerings include the Guthrie Theater, the First Avenue nightclub, and four professional sports teams.

Beitun is located at the southern foot of Altai Mountain, north of Junggar Basin, south bank of Ertix River, at the foot of Deren Mountain, bordering Kazakhstan in the west, Russia in the north and Mongolia in the east. It was founded in 1958 and was personally selected and named by Zhang Zhonghan, the former political commissar of the bingtuan, meaning that the bingtuan reclaimed the northernmost land, and it is another star of military reclamation in New China. It is the county-level city directly under the jurisdiction of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous region and the seat of the 10th Division of the Xinjiang production and Construction Corps. It implements the "integration of division and city" management mode with the 10th Division of the Xinjiang production and Construction Corps, which is managed by the Xinjiang production and Construction Corps. It is about 580 kilometers away from Urumqi and 60 kilometers away from Altay Airport. Railway, high-grade highway and aviation are the main lines of transportation, and the national and provincial highways are the auxiliary transport framework. 216 National Highway, 318 Provincial Highway, 319
