Habahe County belongs to Altay Region of China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, located in the southern foothills of the Altai Mountains, bordering Kazakhstan to the northwest, with a total area of about 8,166 square kilometers. It is located in the temperate continental climate zone of the northern border, with long cold winters and short cool summers, and annual precipitation of about 200 millimeters.
Habahe County is famous for its natural landscape, with ecotourism resources such as Baisha Lake (a national 5A scenic spot), Harongou Petroglyphs and Naren Grassland. It is rich in mineral resources, with reserves of zinc, lead and copper ranking among the top in Xinjiang. The Haba River, a tributary of the Irtysh River, flows through the county, forming a unique river valley oasis ecosystem.
The county has a population of about 80,000, with Kazakhs as the main ethnic group (accounting for 68%) and Han Chinese, Hui and other ethnic groups living together. The traditional nomadic culture of the Kazakhs is well preserved, with unique folk activities such as horse racing, goat-carrying and Akan singing. Local specialties include honey, camel's milk and wild mushrooms.
The economy is based on animal husbandry, mining and tourism, with the G219 National Highway running through the whole territory, about 200 kilometers away from Altay Airport. As a node of the northern corridor of the Silk Road Economic Belt, it is gradually developing into an important port city for cross-border tourism and border trade.
