History
editSince 1912, Kosrap had been the township of Puli County (present Taxkorgan). In 1950, Taxkorgan Tajik Autonomous County was established, and Kosrap was a township in the 2nd district of Taxkorgan. In September 1954, the Kizilsu Kyrgyz Autonomous Prefecture was established and Kosrap was transferred to Qarlung Township of Akto County from Taxkorgan. In 1961, the commune of Kosrap was re-established from Qarlung, and in 1965 it was merged into Qarlung. In 1981, Kosrap Commune was re-established. In October 1984, it was reorganized into a township.[3] Because the residential area of the township is located in the Altash Water Conservancy Project (阿尔塔什水利枢纽工程) reservoir area, its residents needed to be moved to the adjacent Dayasdun (大亚斯墩) in Zepu County. On August 27, 2018, Kosrap was merged into Qarlung,[1] while Tong'an Township (桐安乡) was formed in Dayasdun.[2]
