AKU is the airport code for Aksu Airport, serving Aksu, an oasis city in the southwest of the Xinjiang region in the far west of China, on the northern edge of the Tarim Basin. Aksu sits between the Tian Shan mountains and the Taklamakan Desert, a green, well-watered oasis long important on the ancient Silk Road, and is known today for its fruit, especially its apples and pears, and for cotton. It is a diverse city in a region with a long history and many cultures, near old Silk Road sites and dramatic desert and mountain scenery. Because parts of this region can be sensitive for travelers, it is wise to check your government's current advice before a trip. Aksu is reached by flights into its airport, from Urumqi and other Chinese cities, and by road and rail. The climate is dry and continental, with hot summers and cold winters.
