Tori County belongs to Xinjiang Tacheng Region, located in the northern foothills of the Tianshan Mountains, west of the Junggar Basin, on the border between China and Kazakhstan, and was an important post on the northern route of the ancient Silk Road. The terrain here is predominantly mountainous and hilly, with the Baluk Mountains running through the whole territory, with vast pastures and unique forest and grassland landscapes, cool and pleasant in summer, and silver in winter. As a traditional pastoral county, Tori is famous for its high-quality livestock products such as Bashibai sheep and Xinjiang fine-wool sheep, with animal husbandry and specialty farming as the economic pillars. The county is home to many ethnic groups, including Kazakhs, Han Chinese, and Uyghurs, and has a rich folk culture, which is enlivened by ethnic festivals such as the Naadam Conference and the Girls' Chase. Tori has also become an important distribution area for wild Batan apricots due to its proximity to the Baluk Mountain National Nature Reserve. With both ecological and cultural tourism resources, Tori is an ideal place to experience Xinjiang's borderland flavor and nomadic culture.
