Introducing Bù’ěrjīn
Bù’ěrjīn, meaning ‘dark green water’ in Mongolian, is named after the nearby Bu’erjin River, which is a tributary of the Ertix River, the only river in China to flow into the Arctic Ocean. Bù’ěrjīn, 620km north of Ürümqi, marks the end of the desert and the beginning of the grasslands and mountains to the north. The town’s population is mainly Kazakh (57%), but there are also Han, Uighurs, Tuva Mongolians and Russians.
