my country is a vast country with fertile plains, majestic mountains, vast deserts and boundless Gobi. It has both the economically developed east and the sparsely populated west. Some developed towns in the east are more developed than those in the west. Level cities are still developed, and there are not a few towns with a population (plus migrant workers) of more than one million. However, the township to be introduced in this article is the township with the smallest population in China. You can guess how many people there are.
This township is not only the township with the smallest population in our country, but also the township with the largest area in our country. How big is it? 65,600 square kilometers, without a town, is 65,600 square kilometers. The area of this township is equivalent to 66,400 square kilometers in Ningxia, much larger than Taiwan, Hainan, Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Hong Kong, and Macau, equivalent to 10 It is as big as Shanghai and 60 Hong Kong.
We have made a comparison with domestic provinces and cities, and now we will compare it with some foreign countries. The 65,600 square kilometers is comparable to Sri Lanka and larger than more than 70 countries and regions in the world. Developed countries such as Denmark, the Netherlands, and Switzerland The area of China is only two-thirds of that of Qimantag Township, let alone an island country like Singapore.
This township is Qimantag Township in Ruoqiang County, Bayingoleng Mongol Autonomous Prefecture, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. It is located in the south of Ruoqiang County and the northern end of the Qiangtang Plateau. Between the Qimantag Mountains and the Kunlun Mountains in the south is an uninhabited no-man's land.
Qimantag Township is basically located in the Altun Mountain National Nature Reserve (also a well-known no-man’s land in China), and the township government is located in a rescue station in Altun Mountain, and the board houses are very simple.
Because this township is in a no-man's land and also in a national protected area, there are very few original names and even very few staff members. According to relevant statistics, the entire township has only 67 permanent residents, which is the township with the smallest population in my country's statistical records. .
Townships in the eastern region generally have tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people, and towns in the western region generally have thousands of people, but Qimantag Township has only 67 people. What is the concept? If there are four or five members in a family, then there are only a dozen households in this township, but it has an area as large as a small province.
Here is the Qimantag Mountains on one side and the Kunlun Mountains on the other. Looking around, the mountains are undulating, with overlapping peaks and magnificent scenery. There are more than 50 peaks above 6,000 meters above sea level. On the towering peaks, there are 880 square meters of mountains. square kilometers of modern glaciers. Moreover, there is very little precipitation here, and there are blue sky and white clouds almost all year round, and it is a blockbuster scenery to take pictures casually.
Although there are few people in Qimantag Township, there are a lot of wild animals here. It is adjacent to Hoh Xil Nature Reserve and belongs to Altun Mountain Nature Reserve. The roads in and out are guarded by Luka, and there are no roads inside. There is no mobile phone signal, and it is easy to get lost, so it is not open to tourists. If you want to enter it, you need to apply for it, and you can only enter after strict approval by the reserve.
