Beautiful Xinjiang China Deep Deep into the Mountains (Uyghur Land)

I was here to shoot a TV commercial deep into the mountains of Xinjiang, China.. Xinjiang is located Northwest of China and borders Russia, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India and to the south is Tibet. We drove 3 hours into the mountains and parked by a local village. It was a great experience. The village people served us lamb and fried rice in the biggest pot i have ever seen. There were no toilets and the only power there was the generators that we brought. No cell phone reception up there either. We saw horses, goats, cows, etc. It was pure nature. I am not sure what the locals spoke there but obviously they dont speak English and they did not speak Chinese as well. Maybe they where Uyhur people I am not really sure. Maybe some of you can advise. Also what i thought was interesting was the fact that they bathed in the river and used mud as soap. I would not mind going off the grid for a month and just living here.


Xinjiang (Uyghur: شىنجاڭ‎‎, ULY: Shinjang; Mandarin pronunciation: [ɕíntɕjɑ́ŋ]; Chinese: 新疆; pinyin: Xīnjiāng), officially Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region,[5] is an autonomous region of China in the northwest of the country. It is the largest Chinese administrative division, the 8th largest country subdivision in the world, spanning over 1.6 million km2 and the most populous amongst the ten largest national subdivisions. It contains the disputed territory of Aksai Chin administered by China. Xinjiang contains China's smaller border with Russia (which is 40 km/24 mi long; the remainder of the China-Russia border is 3,605 km/2,240 mi long, and is taken up by the Inner Mongolia and Heilongjiang provinces), but its other international borders are with Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India. It is also bordered, to the south, by Tibet, easily its longest border, when including the Eastern Tibetan disputed territories. It has abundant oil reserves and is China's largest natural gas-producing region.

It is home to a number of ethnic groups including the Uyghur, Han, Kazakhs, Tajiks, Hui, Kyrgyz, and Mongols.[6] More than a dozen autonomous prefectures and counties for minorities are in Xinjiang. Older English-language reference works often refer to the area as Chinese Turkestan.[7] Xinjiang is divided into the Dzungarian Basin in the north and the Tarim Basin in the south by a mountain range. Only about 4.3% of Xinjiang's land area is fit for human habitation.[8]

Xinjiang Province (Documentary Vlog) | The Long Road Ep. 46

I finally made it to CHINA!!! Or did I?
After Kyrgyzstan I visited the Xinjiang Province. While traveling here, a question constantly popped up in my head. Is this China? That's why decided to make this video a little bit different.
If you find any mistakes in my little research let me know.

The Dead Animal Timecodes
From 02:11 - 02:14
And 04:05 - 04:18 (This is followed by footage from the life stock market until 04:59)

After crossing the border I first visited Kashgar, from there I headed to Urumqi from where I left for Tuerpan. Unfortunately I had to go to Shanghai, so I couldn't see as much of Xinjiang as I wanted to. But I also wasn't well prepared tbh...

But if you want to travel there, check out

A big thank you to everybody who let me awkwardly film them :)

Filmed handheld with the Panasonic G80/G81/G85 and the iPhone 6.

The long Road (TlR) is a journey from Germany all the way to Nepal, through the middle east, following the old silk road, China and South-East Asia. The whole journey will be overland (no planes, UFOs or portals) and put together into short videos on this channel :)

JOURNEY TO THE GOBI | Gobi Desert, Mongolia

We have officially left Ulaanbaatar and headed into the Gobi.
It didn't take long to see all the animals that you'd expect to see in Mongolia - horses, camels, cows, sheep. We even saw a Golden Eagle from the car. We stopped by Choir Monastery, Baga Gadriin Chuluu, and hiking some of the little mountains surrounding our ger camp. We also went to Yolyn Am in the Gurvan Saikhan Mountains which was one of the most beautiful places I've seen.

For those interested, this video would be day 3-5 on the Nomadic Mongolia tour with G Adventures.

Much love and happy travels
