Uqturpan (Wushi) County or Uchturpan County (Chinese: 乌什县; Uyghur: ئۇچتۇرپان ناھىيىسى, Учтурпан Наһийиси, ULY: Uchturpan Nahiyisi, UYY: Uqturpan Nah̡iyisi?) is a county in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region under the administration of Aksu Prefecture. It has an area of 9,012 square kilometres (3,480 sq mi) and as of the 2002 census[update] a population of 180,000.
Ush Turfan was the site of a battle between Barhanuddin and Abdulla during the Revolt of the Altishahr Khojas.
Uchturpan is best known for the anti-Qing uprising of the local Turkic (later "Uyghur") people in 1765. Legend says that a local rebel leader was married to Iparhan, known as the "Fragrant Concubine" a descendant of Apaq Khoja. During the turmoil, many fled, and the thousands who remained were killed by Sino-Manchu forces. Later, the area was repopulated by migrants from what is now Southern Xinjiang.
