The map
Ying’awati is in the Hotan area of southern Xinjiang, on the southern edge of the Tarim Basin. The Taklamakan desert stretches to the north and the Kunlun Mountains rise to the south. Life here depends on water that flows down from the mountains, and from above the settlement looks like a green island of fields in dry country.
The map is dominated by irrigation. Canals and tree-lined roads divide the land into long, narrow plots. Houses are strung along them in lines, not gathered into one dense centre. The edge of the oasis is sharp: at a certain point the field pattern stops and the empty desert begins. Hotan city lies nearby, and the wider region has been known for its jade for centuries.
A Ying’awati map poster captures one of the most striking kinds of settlement on earth. Every line of road and canal serves the oasis, and every blank area beyond it is sand. The composition is unusual, graphic and clearly tied to its setting.
Canals and roads divide the land into regular strips. This fine linear pattern is the most distinctive feature of oasis farming in the Tarim Basin.
Homes follow the lines of the roads and channels rather than clustering together. The effect on the map is a settlement spread in long threads.
Where the water runs out, the field pattern ends abruptly. The empty desert beyond forms a strong, blank contrast on the poster.
