Hotan City is located in the southwestern part of China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and is the administrative center of Hotan, situated at the northern foothills of the Kunlun Mountains, at the southern edge of the Taklamakan Desert, and an important node on the southern route of the ancient Silk Road. As the "Jade Capital", Hotan is famous for its abundance of Hotan Jade, with a long history of jade culture, and is an important jade distribution and processing center in China. With an arid climate and abundant light, Hotan is famous for its specialty crops such as cotton, grapes and pomegranates, as well as its traditional handicrafts such as Edelweiss silk. As a city of multi-ethnic culture, Hotan retains a strong Uyghur flavor. In recent years, relying on the cultural resources and natural landscape of the Silk Road, the tourism industry has continued to develop and become an important window showcasing the charms of Xinjiang.
