Kurshim, also Kurchum or Kurchim (kk|Күршім, Kürşım) is a selo and administrative center of Kurshim District of East Kazakhstan Region, Kazakhstan. Population:
The Kurchum River flows past the town and Lake Zaysan lies to the south.[1] [2] The town lies on the road between the villages of Altyn Kala to the north-west and Surulen to the east; this road connects with the M38 road in the southeast which leads to Jeminay across the Chinese border in Xinjiang. The town is served by a small airport, Kurchum Airport, and Antonov An-2 biplanes fly in and out of the airport.[3] In late 1989 or early 1990 the town was affected by an earthquake which destroyed the Kurchum Hospital,[4] amongst other buildings. The landscape around the town is dominated by estuarine plains.
