Tongan Township of Zepu County, Kashgar, northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, is a relocation site for residents from Xinjiang's Kunlun Mountains area, after people moved out from the harsh mountainous area two years ago. In Tongan Township, a number of public service facilities such as schools and health centers have been set up to cater for the new residents. Besides helping people move to the township and improve their living conditions, the local government has also taken measures to help relocated families lead stable lives and increase their incomes. Ranaguli Karman is from a relocated household, once living in poverty. Two years ago, her family, along with one thousand more poor families, moved to Tongan Township to new houses with complete facilities. Last year, Ranaguli Karman's family shook off poverty and now run a booming business.
