Poskam

Poskam lies southwest of Yarkand in an oasis watered by the Tiznaf River, which descends from the Kunlun Mountains to join the Yarkand River. Its fields occupy the narrow belt between high mountain valleys and the Taklamakan Desert. A postal station at Upper Poskam is recorded on the roads of the region under the Qing, when the oasis formed part of the lands administered from Yarkand.
