Kuerchu

Kuerchu lies west of Korla on the northern margin of the Tarim Basin. The Konqi River passes through this oasis country after leaving Lake Bosten, and the Kuerchu stream descends from the mountains to the north. Old geographical accounts also call the place Charchi, after the stream of that name. A military post stood near the river, on the route linking Korla with the oases farther west.
