Keketuohai Town is a unique industrial town developed by relying on rare metals in Xinjiang. This town used to be the political, economic and cultural center of Fuyun County. This area was a nomadic area in the early 1930s. At that time, the mountains and rivers on both sides of the river were beautiful, and the pines, willows and birch were intertwined. Therefore, Kazakh herders call it "Cocoto the Sea", which means green jungle. 1935 Rare metal deposits have been discovered here. 195 1 year, Sino-Soviet joint venture established Ashan Mine Management Office of Xinjiang Nonferrous Metals Co., Ltd. and started large-scale mining. By the time the Soviet side retreated to 1955, a mining market town had basically formed, leaving many Russian-style buildings. The production of rare metal mineral products has a history of more than 50 years, and has been used in national economy and national defense construction. CocotoSea ferrous metals rank first in Xinjiang and second in China, especially rare metals and heavy metals. The rare metal mine in Keketuohai Town has been well-known at home and abroad since the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. It is known as the "No.3 vein" of the world's fourth largest open-pit mine, containing 84 kinds of minerals such as tantalum, niobium, potassium and silicon, and is called "natural mineral exhibition hall" by Chinese and foreign experts. In 1960s, the ore in vein No.3 accounted for one third of China's foreign debt to the Soviet Union. After decades of excavation, the "No.3 vein" has now formed a huge pit, like a straw hat, more than 200 meters deep. "No.3 vein" has been declared as "National Geopark".
