A health center in the Bozader pastoral district set up in 1978 is still going strong

The Bozader Winter Pasture in Tekes county, Ili Kazak autonomous prefecture, in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region is renowned for its pasture, but it is also notorious for its hazardous paths. So, if you are not familiar with the terrain, you can easily get confused by the hoofprints on the snow slopes.

Steep mountains separate the pasture from the rest of the world.

However, a health center in the Bozader pastoral district set up in 1978 has been kept going for the past 30 years.
