Aksu is a city and the seat of Aksu Prefecture in Xinjiang, lying at the northern edge of the Tarim Basin in the far west of China. Its name means white water in a Turkic language and is shared by the oasis town and by the Aksu River. The local economy rests mostly on farming, above all long-staple cotton, together with grain, fruit, oilseeds and beets, and its industry is chiefly weaving, cement and chemicals. The urban administrative area is split into two parts, with the city centre in the northern part and the Taklamakan Desert filling the southern part.
