     In the western part of the Tarim Basin, cotton is grown mainly between the K'a-Shin-ka-erh (Kashgar Darya) and Yeh-erh-ch'iang (Yark and Darya) rivers where the growing season is longer and population denser. The main centres are K'a-shih (Kashgar), Pa-ch'u, Yüeh-p'u-hu, Mai-kai-t'i (Merket), So-ch'e (Yarkand) and Tse-p'u (Posgam).
