Tacheng City

Tacheng extends across the Dzungarian Basin near the Kazakhstan border, surrounded by the Tarbagatay Mountains at an elevation of 534 meters.

The city emerged as a major commercial hub during the mid-19th century, establishing substantial trade connections between China and Russia through the tea commerce.

Multiple ethnic groups, including Kazakh, Hui, Uyghur, Mongolian, and Russian populations, contribute to the social fabric through music, festivals, and traditions.

The Karamay-Tacheng Railway and Tacheng Qianquan Airport connect travelers to major regional destinations, including regular flights to Ürümqi.

Every primary and secondary school in Tacheng includes accordion classes in their curriculum, leading to its designation as the Accordion City of China.
