Altay is a county-level city in Altay Prefecture, which lies within the Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture in the far north of Xinjiang, China. The city centre stands on the banks of the Kelan River. Altay is also spelled Altai or Aletai in English. As a county-level city it is an urban unit of its prefecture, and the source article describes only its administrative position and its river setting, so this entry records those facts and leaves further history, economy and sights to later sourced passes.
