The city was sometimes called Tarbaghatay or Tarbagatai (Mongolian: ‘having marmots’) and was once known in European languages as Chuguchak (based on its name in the Mongolian language).[2] The current official Chinese name Tacheng is an abbreviation of “Tarbaghatay City”. The current Uyghur name is Qöqäk transliterated from Mongolian.
It is located in the Dzungarian Basin, some 10 km (6.2 mi) from the Chinese border with Kazakhstan. For a long time it has been a major center for trade with Central Asia because it is an agricultural hub. Its industries include food processing, textiles, and utilities.
