Gongliu County as the official romanized name, also transliterated from Uyghur as Tokkuztara County (;), is a county situated within the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region and is under the administration of the Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture. It contains an area of 4119km2. According to the 2002 census, it has a population of 160,000.
The place was originally named Tokkuztara, meaning "nine streams" because branches of the Ili River merged in the area. When a county was set up in 1932, Gongliu was chosen as the official name, which is an abbreviation of Gonggu Changliu ("Chinese: 巩固长留"), literally Stability and Long-lasting.[2]
Gongliu County is divided into 6 towns and 2 townships.
