Driving on to Ruoqiang (Charkhlik), you pass the village of Waxxari close to the ancient site of Washixia, Stein's Vash Shari from the time of the Tang (618-907 AD) and the Northern Song (960-1127 AD).

Mamtimin, “Tropospheric NO2 column densities over oases of the Taklamakan desert (NW-China): satellite DOAS observations and ground based Multi Axis DOAS measurements”, in Astrophysics Data System[4], archived from the original on December 21, 2019:
We have chosen three very remote oases (Milan, Ruoqiang, Waxxari) on the southern fringe of the Taklamakan desert in the extremely arid region of northwest China (Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region). These target oases are isolated from each other as well as from other potential NO2 sources (100-150 km). Therefore, the oases can be considered as typical areal sources of predominantly soil biogenic NO. Moreover, their areal extension is pretty comparable to the typical pixel size of satellite retrievals.

We selected the agriculturally managed Ruoqiang oases, including Waxxari oasis, Ruoqiang oasis, and Milan oasis on the southeastern edge of the Taklimakan Desert, and the area surrounding the oases as our study area (Figs. 1a, 1b) to study the soil sources of tropospheric NOx,[…]
