Bole (English: /ˈbɒlə/ BO-lə), also known by its Mongolian name Bortala (lit.'brown steppe'), is a county-level city in Xinjiang, China. It is the seat of Bortala Mongol Autonomous Prefecture, which borders Kazakhstan. The city covers an area of 7,517 square kilometres (2,902 sq mi) and has a total population of 270,000 as of 2015. The Northern Xinjiang Railway runs through the city, as do highways to Ürümqi.

Climate

[edit]

Bole has a borderline cool arid climate (Köppen BWk) just short of a cool semi-arid climate (BSk). Like all of Xinjiang, Bole has very warm to hot summers and freezing to frigid winters. Precipitation, again common to all of Xinjiang outside the mountains, is very low and chiefly falls in summer.
