 Thank you for your interesting page, Victor. I really hope that I can spend some time in Urumqi, as I love staying in remote places.

 I visited the geographical cente of the Asian continent in May 2008. It was definitely worth a visit although it was off the beaten path. The structure is beautiful and there were descriptions of all the Asian countries surrounding the iconic structure.

 A very interesting and informative page, Victor. Maybe one day I'll get to this remote region!

 Thanks for sharing your experiences in Urumqi! I'd love to visit Xinjiang province one day, and all I knew about Urumqi was its distance from the ocean. Now I know more about it. :)
