The Site of Bashbaliq City is located in Beiting Town of Jimsar County, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Dating back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907), it used to be the largest city and an important traffic hub on the ancient Silk Road. As part of the "Silk Roads: the Routes Network of the Chang'an-Tianshan Corridor," it was added to UNESCO's World Heritage List in 2014.
