| Page Views: 1,429 Last Visit to Urumqi: June, 2007 | Urumqi by nepalgoods - last update: Aug 14, 2007 |
When I visited Xinjiang in 1992 for the first time I skipped Urumqi on my way to Turfan as I thought, that Turfan is much more attractive. And I am still sure that was the right decision.
This time I stopped and stayed for two days in urumqi as I was on a guided tour and I did not have any choice.
But Urumqi is quite a surprise to me.Though it is a big city now with the typical highrise buildings it is still a very interesting city with mosques and busy bazaars and very nice people. |
|  | When in Urumqi do not miss: - the big fruit and vegetables market
- the big bazaar
- the Central Province Museum |
| Turpan - Beziklik Thousand Buddha Grottoes |

A lovely page Ulrike - the museum sounds interesting and the bazaar and market are so colourful! BTW in English that juice is called "pomegranite" - perhaps weirdly, we don't translate it into apple ;-) | sourbugger Thu Oct 18, 2007 12:40 UTC
an interesting page you have put together here, looking forward to reading more on china | Leipzig Wed Sep 19, 2007 10:59 UTC

Me, too!! I did have a totally different vision of what Urumqi would be like! Thanks for a wonderful and informative page, Ulrike! |
