作文思路：首先介紹了新疆的簡稱、首府，接著介紹了新疆的面積及常住人口情況，最后介紹了新疆是古絲綢之路必經(jīng)之路及重要的戰(zhàn)略地位。

新疆維吾爾自治區(qū)，簡稱“新”，首府烏魯木齊市，位于中國西北地區(qū)，是中國五個少數(shù)民族自治區(qū)之一。

Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, referred to as "new", the capital of Urumqi, located in Northwest China, is one of China's five ethnic minority autonomous regions.

面積166萬平方公里，是中國陸地面積最大的省級行政區(qū)，占中國國土總面積六分之一。2020年第七次全國人口普常住人口為2585.23萬人。

Covering an area of 1.66 million square kilometers, it is the largest provincial administrative region in China, accounting for one sixth of China's total land area. In 2020, the number of permanent residents of the seventh national population census will be 25.8523 million.

新疆地處亞歐大陸腹地，陸地邊境線5600多公里，在歷史上是古絲綢之路的重要通道，

Xinjiang is located in the hinterland of the Eurasian continent, with a land border of more than 5600 kilometers. In history, it was an important passage of the ancient Silk Road,

現(xiàn)在是第二座“亞歐大陸橋”的必經(jīng)之地，戰(zhàn)略位置十分重要。

Now it is the only way for the second "Eurasian land bridge", and its strategic position is very important.
