Favorite thing: Try the local food stalls - risky but worth it for all the people contact. We have met the most amazing people who have kindly invited us to their home, on trips and helped us along our travels. The people of China are generally very hospitable and treat 'foreigners' like VIPs.

Fondest memory: If you have the time, are not ego-centric and enjoy experiencing culture without pandering to western expectations you will love Xinjiang. It has a fascinating history, diverse culture enriched by several ethnic groups such as Urghur, Kazack,Han and Hui people and its not over run by tourists.
