Collections with bilingual labels

Toli County Museum (托里县博物馆) occupies a two-storey building completed in June 2011; its interior displays were finished in May 2012. Four exhibition sections cover historical objects, natural mineral resources, folk culture and local development, divided into eighteen units. Objects, multimedia, photographs and texts make up the displays. The permanent exhibition has explanations in Chinese and Kazakh. Collections include bronze objects, ceramics, gold and silver pieces, jade and stone artefacts, inscriptions and rock carvings.

Pasture beyond the museum

The county government identifies Barluk Mountain pastures (巴尔鲁克山地草场), Shazi Grassland (沙孜草原) and Kulusitai Grassland (库鲁斯台草原) among the county’s grazing landscapes. Horses, cattle, sheep and camels are raised in Toli. Wheat, maize and oil crops are among its cultivated crops.
