Geography

The Yiwu County is located in the northeastern part of the prefecture, between the Qarliq Shan mountain range (along which it borders on Hami City) and the border with Mongolia's Govi-Altai Province. Outside of the mountain range, most of the county is within the Gobi Desert.

Some of the county important populated places are located in the oases irrigated by the intermittent Yiwu River, which flows north from the mountains, eventually disappearing in the desert. These include, from south to north, Yiwu Town (Script error: No such module "Lang"., the county seat), Weizi Xia Township (Script error: No such module "Lang".) and Laomao Hu Town (Script error: No such module "Lang".).

As of the 1920s, the area of today's Yiwu town was referred to as "Tuhulu" (Script error: No such module "Lang".)[2] and that name is still retained by the Tuhulu Township (Script error: No such module "Lang".) adjacent to today's Yiwu town. At the time, it was the first place with an actual river and some agriculture that weary travellers from the east would reach after crossing several hundreds of kilometers of desert (since crossing Edsin Gol, a River in Inner Mongolia).[2]

Other places in the county include Qianshan Kazakh Township (Script error: No such module "Lang".), Yanchi Township (Script error: No such module "Lang".) and Xiamaya Township (Script error: No such module "Lang".).
