Midong District includes northern and eastern suburbs of Ürümqi, as well as a large slice of the [[Gurbantünggüt Desert]] north of the city which is administratively included into Ürümqi.
Midong District includes northern and eastern suburbs of Ürümqi, as well as a large slice of the [[Gurbantünggüt Desert]] north of the city which is administratively included into Ürümqi.


The natural water sources in the Ürümqi area mostly consist of streams that flow from the snow-capped [[Tian Shan]] mountains south of the city. Since Midong District is located north and therefore downstream, of the main urban area, the water supply problems there are particularly acute.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.xjass.com/jj/content/2009-01/13/content_53392_11.htm|script-title=zh:解决米东新区建设项目供水紧缺问题的方向|trans-title=Approaches to solving water supply problems for the development projects in the Midong New Area|date=2009-01-13|access-date=2013-10-10|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131022010738/http://www.xjass.com/jj/content/2009-01/13/content_53392_11.htm|archive-date=2013-10-22|url-status=dead}}</ref> To enable the area's economic development, the [[Irtysh–Karamay–Ürümqi Canal|Irtysh–Ürümqi Canal]] was brought to Midong during the first decade of the 20th century.

Midong District (Chinese: 米东区; pinyin: Mǐdōng Qū; Uyghur: مىچۈەن-كۆكتاغ رايونى, romanizedMichüen-Köktagh Rayoni, Miqüen-Kɵktaƣ Rayoni, Мичүән-Көктағ Райони) is one of 7 urban districts of the prefecture-level city of Ürümqi, the capital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Northwest China. Its land area is 3,408 km2 (1,316 sq mi); it has a population of 296,000.[2]

History[edit]

Aerial view of Midong District, Urumqi

Midong District was formed in 2007 by merging the former "Dongshan District" (Chinese: 东山区; pinyin: Dōngshān Qū; Uyghur: دۇڭسەن رايونى, romanizedDungsen Rayoni, Dungsən Rayoni, Дуңсән Раүони) of Ürümqi (244 km2 or 94 sq mi, population of 100,000, as per the 2002 Census) with the "Miquan City" (Chinese: 米泉市; pinyin: Mǐquán Shì; Uyghur: مىچۈەن شەھىرى, romanizedMichüen shehiri; formerly part of Changji Hui Autonomous Prefecture).[2]

Geography[edit]

Midong District includes northern and eastern suburbs of Ürümqi, as well as a large slice of the Gurbantünggüt Desert north of the city which is administratively included into Ürümqi.

The natural water sources in the Ürümqi area mostly consist of streams that flow from the snow-capped Tian Shan mountains south of the city. Since Midong District is located north and therefore downstream, of the main urban area, the water supply problems there are particularly acute.[3] To enable the area's economic development, the Irtysh–Ürümqi Canal was brought to Midong during the first decade of the 20th century. Its main terminal is the so-called "Reservoir 500", constructed at the border of Midong District and Fukang County-level City (44°12′00″N 87°49′00″E / 44.20000°N 87.81667°E / 44.20000; 87.81667).[4]

Administrative divisions[edit]

Midong District contains 7 subdistricts, 5 towns, 1 township and 1 ethnic township:
