It is located on the Kongque River and national road G218, about 10 km to the north of Korla.

The frost period in Tashidian lasts on average 187 days per year.[5]
Tashidian was made a part of Korla in 1979 and was given the status of town in March 2001. Around the same time, it had a population of about 20,000.[6]
