The Court on the Ili River Somewhere in this valley once stood the seat of power of the Dzungar khans. In the 1630s, the Oirat Mongol leader Erdeni Batur founded Kulja as the capital of a new confederation forged from the western Mongol tribes [1]. From here, the Dzungar Khanate grew into what historians often call the last great nomadic empire — stretching at its height from southern Siberia to the edge of Tibet, a…

ERR is average views per post over the last 30 days divided by subscribers, the definition TGStat uses, so this figure is comparable with the one you will see elsewhere. It falls structurally as a channel grows: a high ERR on a small channel and a low one on a large channel describe reach mathematics, not quality. We publish the figure and the sample it came from and pass no verdict on it.
ER is defined industry-wide as (forwards + reactions + comments) ÷ views— note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegram’s public web preview carries views and reactions but not forward or comment counts, so the reaction rate above is the reactions term only and is therefore a floor: the true ER for this channel is higher by an amount we have not measured and will not estimate. It is computed over the 5 of 11 measured posts that carry a reaction reading, and over those same posts' views.

Views are a single reading per post, taken at the time above. A post published in the last day or two is still accumulating views, which pulls the 30-day average down slightly. That is a property of the standard definition rather than a fault in it, so we keep the definition rather than “correcting” the number into something nobody can reproduce.
Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form — 8.12K, 3.7M — so any reading at or above 1,000 reaches us rounded to three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. Averages and rates derived from them are shown to the same precision rather than to the unit: a figure like 3,701,250 would assert digits nobody measured.
Reaction counts are published per emoji and rounded the same way, so a total below 1,000 is exact and a larger one is a sum that may carry a rounded component from each emoji above 1,000. Because it is a sum, it does not look rounded — read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.

Lifetime counters from Telegram’s own channel header, read 8 August 2026 — not the date at the top of this page, which is when the subscriber count was last read. A count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints these counters in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈142,000 means somewhere between 141,500 and 142,499.

Measured directly from 1 video with a duration reading, out of the posts we hold for this channel — not this channel’s whole posting history, only the sample this register has actually read. An exact reading to the second, taken from the post itself rather than from Telegram’s own rounded chrome, so it carries no ≈ mark.
Reaction mix
10 reactions across 5 posts, in 2 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 70.0% of them.
| Reaction | Count | Share | Share, drawn |

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 5 of the 11 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 10reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 11 most recent posts we hold, published 6 August 2026 to 8 August 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.

Dawn Over Kulja: Driving Through the Heartland of the Last Steppe Empire We close out the week with a sunrise drive through the borderlands around Kulja — known today as Yining, in China's Xinjiang region.

A Century-Old Dream, A Five-Year Sprint The idea itself predates the Soviet Union by decades. As early as 1886, planners floated a line connecting Turkestan to the Siberian network; by 1896 the city council of Verny — today's Almaty — had convened a commission to study the benefits, and concluded the project made sense [2]. Tsarist-era railways in the region hugged the periphery, leaving the northern and eastern ste…
The Iron Handshake of the Steppe In the spring of 1930, somewhere in the empty grasslands east of Lake Balkhash, two work crews — one that had been laying track south from Siberia, one laying track north from Turkestan — finally saw each other's rails converge. What they were building was more than a railway. It was a 1,442-kilometre answer to a question people had been asking since the 1880s: how do you connect the…

The result is neither fully Soviet nor fully Chinese, but something genuinely hybrid: an international revolutionary ideology translated, sometimes clumsily and always earnestly, into a Chinese material and artistic idiom, by craftsmen working in near-total isolation from the source imagery they were copying.

A Republic Scattered Across a Continent The Chinese Soviet Republic existed on paper — and in patchwork territory — from 1931 to 1937. It was never a single, contiguous nation but a constellation of communist-held "revolutionary base areas" stretching across Jiangxi, Fujian, Hunan, Hubei, Henan, Anhui, Sichuan, and Shaanxi at various points [1][2]. Its heart was Jiangxi province, where the town of Ruijin served as c…
Twenty Cents of Revolution: The Strange Silver of Mao's Phantom Republic There's a particular thrill in holding a coin that once tried to convince the world it was a country. The Chinese Soviet Republic (CSR) was exactly that kind of improbable state — and its coinage is some of the wildest to survive the twentieth century.

Where the Mountains Meet the Sea The site is known today as Adamkayalar — literally "Men of Rock" — and it sits on a dramatic natural balcony overlooking what was once a vital ancient route down to the coast [1]. Reaching it still means a scramble down a steep, dry riverbed gorge; there is no easy road in, which is likely the very reason the reliefs survived so long untouched [2].

Faces That Have Watched the Sea for Two Thousand Years High in the Taurus Mountains of southern Turkey, a cliff face keeps a secret that has outlasted empires.

A Fortress Hidden in the Rice Fields Rising some 90 meters above the plains of Talesh County in Gilan Province, northern Iran, Salsal Castle — also known as Lisar Castle after the nearby town — crowns a rocky, forested hill like a stone crown half-swallowed by vegetation. From above, the contrast is striking: an ancient ruin encircled by a modern patchwork of emerald rice paddies, orchards, and red-roofed village ho…
The Five-Petaled Fortress: How a Persian Hilltop Guards Iran's Forgotten Border with the Caucasus Some castles announce themselves.

Showing the 11 most recent of 11 posts we hold for @asian_treasures. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Mentions
Names
Channels on the register whose handles appear in this channel's posts.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
