Guma, Pishan County
Guma (Goma) Town (; Pinyin: Gùmǎ Zhèn, Uyghur: گۇما بازىرى), also known as Pishan Town (Chinese: 皮山镇; pinyin: Píshān) (written 皮亢 Pikang in the ''Weilüe'') is an ancient oasis town on the main caravan route between Khotan and Karghalik and, in Han times, the route left from here to go to Arachosia (Kandahar) through Hunza.〔Hill (2009), pp. 207-208; 506; 622; 628.〕 It is located in the Taklamakan Desert, in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China, about 158 km southeast of Kashgar in modern Xinjiang, China.〔Hill (2009), p. 403.〕
The ''Hanshu'' (which describes events up to 23 CE) mentions that it had 500 households, 3,500 individuals and 500 persons able to bear arms. It was an important hub for caravans heading south to India over the Karakorum route, or through the Pamirs to Jalalabad or Badakhshan.〔Hulsewé (1979), p. 97.〕
Today, Pishan is a small, rather poor town of about 2,000 people. The main crop is cotton. Most of the inhabitants are Uyghur and there are some Tajiks.
==Transportation==
Pishan is served by China National Highway 315 and the Kashgar-Hotan Railway.
