38°21'54.1"N 77°07'11.5"E

This government tender notice says there is a reeducation camp in Wudaleke Township’s Communist Party School.

Left image is the location of Wudalike CCP school showed in Gaode Maps. Right is the corresponding address in Google Earth.

The satellite image quality is not very good. This camp is relatively small.

The buildings in the red circle is 国民教育学校 National Education School, which is also a camp, more details about it can be found here. Yarkant uses a decentralized camp system, which comprises at least 4 CCP party schools and 5 national education schools across the county.

This tender notice also suggests there are camps in 艾力西湖镇, 佰什坎特镇.

佰什坎特镇 CCP school camp is very likely at 38.460150, 77.467439

艾力西湖镇 CCP school camp is very likely here at 38.678054, 77.304839

One of the common features of these camps is the red roof hall. These halls look almost identical.

The teaching buildings inside the schools are also almost identical

This is probably they are from same blueprint. News suggest these three CCP schools are built at the same time by fundings from Shanghai.
