"Yancai lies some 2,000 li (832 km) northwest of Kangju(centered on Tuekestan at Bei'tian).The people are nomads and their customs are generally similar to those of the people of Kangju. The country has over 100,000 archer warriors, and borders a great shoreless lake, perhaps what is known as the Northern Sea (Aral Sea,distance between Tashkent to Aralsk is about 866 km)"(Shiji, 123, Zhang Qian quote, trans.
