Xinjiang Tourism Promotional Video | China's largest province & One Belt One Road
China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, the capital city of Urumqi, is located in Northwest China and is one of China’s five ethnic minority autonomous regions. Covering an area of 1.66 million square kilometers, it is the provincial administrative region with the largest land area in China, accounting for 1/6 of China's total land area. At the end of 2019, the permanent population was 25,232,200. In 2020, the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region will achieve a gross regional product (GDP) of 1,379.758 billion yuan, an increase of 3.4% over the previous year. In 2020, all 3.089 million poor people in Xinjiang will be lifted out of poverty.
Xinjiang has 55 ethnic groups, mainly inhabited by Han, Uygur, Kazakh, Hui, Mongolian, Kirgiz, Xibe, Tajik, Uzbek, Manchu, Daur, Tatar, Russian and other ethnic groups. It is one of China's five ethnic minority autonomous regions. According to the results of the sixth national census, Xinjiang ranked fifth in the proportion of the population with higher education in 24 provinces and municipalities. Xinjiang will fully implement the 14-year free education policy in southern Xinjiang, promote 14-year free education in other regions, and gradually realize 15-year free education in the region, namely 3 years before school, 6 years in elementary school, 3 years in junior high school, and 3 years in high school.
Xinjiang is located in the hinterland of the Eurasian continent, with a land border of more than 5,600 kilometers. It borders Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Pakistan, Mongolia, India, and the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan. It is an important part of the ancient Silk Road in history. The channel is now the only place to pass through the second Asia-Europe Continental Bridge. In the historical development, cultures are blended and blood is connected, and together they have created a glorious civilization. The ancient economic and cultural exchange link between the East and the West-the world-famous Silk Road stretches for more than 5,000 kilometers in Xinjiang, leaving countless natural heritage and cultural relics along the way. There are countless mysteries along this historical site. And magic.
In Xinjiang, there are high mountains and sand sea deposits. The Altai Mountains in the north, the Tianshan Mountains in the middle, and the Kunlun Mountains in the south span east and west. The Tarim Basin and Junggar Basin dominate the north and south. Formed into a landform commonly known as three mountains and two basins, here is rich in natural resources, peculiar landscapes, long history and culture, and strong ethnic customs. It is an important tourist destination in China with extremely rich tourist resources.

Xinjiang Road Trip Impressions | Urumqi, Turpan, Hami, Qitai
In July 2021, me and my girlfriend went on a road trip through parts of Xinjiang. We got to experience this unique part of China at our own pace and saw some amazing places along the way in Urumqi, Turpan, Kumul, Balikun, and Qitai. This video is merely meant to share some impressions from this trip - without much commentary or context. I am still not sure whether I will work on more videos about travelling in Xinjiang, but felt compelled to at least publish some of the footage from this trip.

Is Xinjiang China's Most Dangerous Province?
Join YPT in the deserts and oasis towns of China’s Far West!
From the ancient city of Kashgar, through small Uyghur towns on the southern Silk Road, we cross the Taklamakan Desert to Turpan, the lowest city in China at 142m below sea level.
The Xinjiang Far West tour starts in the historic city of Kashgar, closer geographically to Tehran and Damascus than to Beijing, a border town between China and the Central Asian states of Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, and the site where traditional Uyghur life hits the Chinese state head-on. We visit the old town, livestock market and main bazaar and, being YPT, can’t miss out on the huge statue of Chairman Mao in People’s Square.
We check out small Uyghur towns that haven’t been developed along the Kashgar model, yet, and skirt the Taklamakan Desert as we go. On the north of the desert, we spend a day at Kuqa’s amazing Thousand Buddha caves, reminding us that before the spread of Islam southern Xinjiang was the place where Buddhism entered China.
Lastly, we hang out in the Turpan, China’s Death Valley, the lowest and hottest place in China. In the countryside outside the city, it’s surprisingly green though and we wander the ruins of ancient cities and stop in a Uyghur holy village for lunch.
If you’d like to see some more Central Asia while you’re here, you could join us for the Silk Road Summer Tour, which visits Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan as well or simply the Kyrgyzstan Independence Day and Xinjiang Combo to combine the best of these two locations and one of China’s least travelled border crossings.
Explore Jiaohe Ancient City in Turpan, Xinjiang - Spectacular Silk Road Ancient Ruins!
Travel back in time to Turpan's Jiaohe Ancient City (交河故城) where it's possible to walk the streets once dug out of a muddy plateau. In this introduction, get a sense of what it looks like, the history of Jiaohe and expert tips on how to get around. Read more:

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The ancient city of Jiaohe, which lies about ten kilometers west of the small town of Turpan in Xinjiang, is one of the most visually spectacular ruins of the old Silk Road. More than 1,500 years of history sits atop this 30-meter high plateau and because of this it has become one of Xinjiang’s most interesting archeological sites – certainly one that’s worth your time to visit.
The entire city ruins run 1,700 meters in length and 300 meters at the widest point. During its peak it was home to about 5,000 residents and boasted a “main street”, several monasteries, and government offices. It’s incredibly well-preserved considering its age, as you can see in the video here.

The locals call it Kiziltag, which means Red Mountain. On April 13, 2018, Huoyan Mountain Scenic Spot was shortlisted for 100 Wonderful Northwestern Scenery. Huoyan Mountain was called Chishi Mountain in ancient times. It is located on the northern edge of the Turpan Basin, on the northern road of the ancient Silk Road. Going east-west. Huoyan Mountain is called Kiziltag in Uyghur language, which means red mountain. The Tang people used to call it volcano for its heat. The mountain is more than 100 kilometers long, 10 kilometers wide at its widest point, about 500 meters above sea level, and the main peak is 831.7 meters above sea level. Huoyanshan Tongshan is bald ridge, where no grass grows, and birds disappear. Whenever the red sun is in midsummer, the auburn mountain is illuminated by the scorching sun, and the sandstone is scorching and shining, and the hot air current rolls and rises like a raging flame.

CHINESE ADVENTURES - Xinjiang Province - Urumqi & Turpan
My husband and I spent 12 days in Urumqi with a couple of day trips over to Turpan in October 2018. We arrived when the weather was 17 degrees and left when it was 1! Xinjiang is a place constantly in the news currently for lots of reasons and tourists are advised not to go. But we wanted to make our our minds up. We are so glad we did. We got to see the the good as well as some of the bad and the ugly. Here it is.
Also: we now have a blog on our visit too:
Please excuse some of the strange cuts - some editing software trouble. Hopefully it still makes sense.

Visiting China On-line Turpan-Xinjiang
Turpan (ou Turfan) est l'une des plus importantes étapes de l'ancienne Route de la Soie. Comme vous le verrez dans notre guide de voyage de Turpan, sa culture ouïgoure marquée, ses ruines bien conservées, son mélange de religion et sa production de délicieux fruits rendent Turpan toujours aussi attractive 2 000 ans plus tard ! Il faut simplement bien prévoir de se protéger du soleil puisque Turpan n'est pas surnommée pour rien la fournaise de Chine.
