City

Aral, Xinjiang

Eastern Asia

Aral, also known as Alar, is a sub-prefecture-level city surrounded by Aksu Prefecture in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China. Aral means island in the Uyghur language. The city is the headquarters of the 1st Division of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps and is currently administered by that division. It uses the division and city integration system, so the city and the division share the same leader group, a feature that sets Aral apart from ordinary county-level cities.
