Dūnlà

Dunla was a settlement north of the eastern Tianshan, in the country west of Beshbalik. A historical geographical account places Dunla north of Anshi city, in the district of Fukang. Its position on the northern mountain fringe lay within the wider region that linked the old Beiting oasis with the Dzungarian plains. The mountains to the south supplied streams descending toward the dry lowlands, where routes passed between scattered settlements.
