Alataw Pass

Alataw Pass

Alataw Pass, or Alashankou (Traditional Chinese: 阿拉山口; Simplified Chinese: 阿拉山口; pinyin: ā lā shān kǒu) is a mountain pass in the border of China (Börtala Mongol Autonomous Prefecture in Xinjiang) and Kazakhstan (Almaty Province). It is the westernmost point of north Xinjiang branch of the Lanzhou–Xinjiang railway.

It is a port of entry with both railroads and roads linking China with Kazakhstan; it is also one of China's national first-class ports of entry. The volume of imports and exports passing through Alashankou accounts for 90% of the total for all of Xinjiang, and is second to only Manzhouli, Inner Mongolia among land ports-of-entry in China.
