You're right that Urumchi isn't in the Himalayas, I just looked at the map again and it's in the Tian Shan mountains. But I can't tell political boundaries, the book doesn't use them, and my atlas predates the breakup of the Soviet Union. According to the book, the Tarim basin forms the Uyghur Autonomous Region, which is the westernmost province administered by China, north of Tibet and southwest of Mongolia. Xinchiang is what the Chinese call it. It looks close to what is called USSR on my atlas. Anyway, the point was about the salt flats, so it's even further from the Indian ocean, right?
