The Kaxgar ( Chinese 喀什 噶尔 河 , Pinyin Kāshígá'ĕr Hé ; Uighur قەشقەر دەرياسى, Yengi Ⱪəxⱪər dəryasi ) is a 765 km (including the upper reaches of the Kyzylsuu ) river in the Uyghur Autonomous Region of Xinjiang in northwest China .
The headwaters of the Kysylsuu or Kirzlesu lies on the northern flank of the Transalai chain in Kyrgyzstan . The river runs eastward from there and passes the city of Kaxgar named after it in the associated oasis , the largest in China, and the administrative district of Kaxgar . Only below the city of Kaxgar is the river called "Kaxgar". It then runs in the northwest of the Taklamakan desert in the Tarim Basin, named after the Tarim , to its confluence with the Yarkant south of Aksu .
