Transport
[edit]Hutubi is served by China National Highway 312, the Northern Xinjiang and the Second Ürümqi–Jinghe Railways.
Petroglyphs
[edit]Petroglyphs were recorded in Qutubi County at Kangjiashimenzi (Chinese: 康家石门子; pinyin: Kāngjiāshíménzi) and are interpreted as representing male fertility worship. This is because in the two depictions of copulation, the males have faces on their chests, suggesting that the petroglyph's creators believed that males were the source of children. The alleged superiority of the petroglyph's male subjects was the basis for the researcher's conclusion that they were created after 1500 BCE, when it is believed that matriarchal societies were replaced by patriarchies.[5]
