'''Bole''' ({{IPAc-en|lang|ˈ|b|ɒ|l|ə}} {{respell|BO|lə}}), also known by its [[Mongolian language|Mongolian]] name '''Bortala''' ({{literally|brown steppe}}), is a [[county-level city]] in [[Xinjiang]], China. It is the seat of [[Bortala Mongol Autonomous Prefecture]], which borders [[Kazakhstan]]. The city covers an area of {{convert|7517|km2}} and has a total population of 270,000 {{as of|2015|lc=y}}. The [[Northern Xinjiang Railway]] runs through the city, as do highways to [[Ürümqi]].

==Climate==
Bole has a borderline [[Desert climate#Cold desert climates|cool arid climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]] ''BWk'') just short of a [[Semi-arid climate#Cold semi-arid climates|cool semi-arid climate]] (''BSk''). Like all of Xinjiang, Bole has very warm to hot summers and freezing to frigid winters. Precipitation, again common to all of Xinjiang outside the mountains, is very low and chiefly falls in summer.
