Jeminay

Jeminay lies on the northern side of the Saur Mountains, between the Altai country and the northern edge of the Junggar Basin. Mountain slopes and open grasslands form a varied pastoral landscape, while the Irtysh flows across the country to the north. The area belonged to the lands of the Oirats before the Qing campaigns against the Dzungars in the eighteenth century. Its position connects the mountain pastures with the broader steppe to the west.
