Called “wild horses without bridles”, the Tarim River is 2179 km long, the longest inland river in China. It is formed by the convergence of the Aksu River, or
iginating from Tianshan Mountains, Yarkant River and Hotan River originating from the Karakorum Mountains. Covering a basin area of 19.8 square kilometers, it empties into the Taitma Lake at the end. The river discharge varies with seasons to a great extent. In hot summer, because of melted glaciers and snow, In the flooding season of torrid summer, along with the old snow and glacier begin to melt away, the discharge of river increases sharply, the river rushes forcibly with roaring waves like uncontrollable wild horses on the waste desert and grassland. The newly built concrete bridge over the river, with an 800-m span and 1600m long, plays an important role in the economic development and communication on both sides of the river.The Tarim River originates from the conflux of the Aksu River of Tianshan Mountain, the Yerqiang River of Kunlun Mountains and Hetian River. It covers an area of 19.8 square kilometers and ends at the Taitema Lake. It is the largest inland river in China, running 2,179 kilometers, and it is also the fifth largest river in the world. It runs from the west to the east through the northern part of the Tarim Basin. Most of its upper reaches flow through desert. Its water comes from the thaw on the ice mountain, full of sand and runs very rapidly. So it is called a reinless wild horse. Since the river course is of much sand, the Tarim River changes its way frequently, resulting in alleviation in 
the middle part. It meanders forward with many branches, where grow thick bulrushes and float grasses, making a fantastic maze on the water.
There is a 1,600-meter concrete bridge across the river, which has as many as 80 holes. There are many irrigation facilities in the region. Along the banks, prosperous poplar forest makes a natural green corridor, which is the production base of cotton, grains, mulberry, and fruit in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, reputed as the a land flowing with milk and honey north of the Great Wall. In addition, drifting in the Tarim River has always been appealing to adventure seekers.
