The map
Chapchal, the seat of Qapqal Xibe Autonomous County, lies on the southern side of the Ili River valley in western Xinjiang, across the river from Yining. On a map the town is a compact grid set among long, narrow field parcels, with the braided channels of the Ili to the north and the foothills of the Tianshan ranges rising beyond the farmland to the south.
The county is the heartland of the Xibe people, whose ancestors were sent here as a frontier garrison from north-east China in the eighteenth century. Their descendants dug irrigation canals along the valley that still water the farmland today, and the Xibe language and script have been kept alive here long after they faded in the community's original homeland.
A Chapchal map poster shows how water organises everything in this valley. Canal lines run parallel to the river, field boundaries follow them in long strips, and the town's straight streets sit in the middle like a small, orderly island between river and mountain. It is a quiet, geometric image, far from the usual idea of a desert province.
North of town the Ili spreads into several braided channels with islands and wetland between them, drawn on the map as a wide, loose band of water.
Long canals cross the valley floor parallel to the river, and the fields beside them form narrow strips that give the whole area a combed texture.
The town itself is laid out in straight, regular blocks, a compact rectangle of streets that stands out clearly against the surrounding farmland.
