Tarim Basin, Desert basin in China

The Tarim Basin is a large endorheic basin in northwest China, covering an area of about 1.02 million km².

Historically, the Tarim Basin has been at the crossroads of several different cultures, including Indo-European Tocharians and Turkic Uyghurs.

The region is home to the Uyghur people, who have a rich cultural history involving music, dance, and carpet weaving.

Due to its harsh desert climate, traveling in the Tarim Basin requires careful planning and preparation.

The Tarim Basin houses the world's second largest shifting sand desert, the Taklamakan.
